From the desk of Mrs. Lestina

Good Afternoon St.Gabriel Families,


We made it!! Another successful school year is under our belt and summer vacation is a day away. Can you believe it?


I’d like to thank all of our school families and students for all the support that we received this year. It has not always been easy but during difficult times we rallied together and made it through. This is truly an amazing “family” to be a part of!  


While we are all looking forward to summer, we are busy making plans for another successful school year come August. Please continue to watch your email for communications regarding summer events and information pertaining to the upcoming school year.


Thank you once again. Have a wonderful summer!!


How to Talk to Your Children About School Shootings:

Parents, it is an unfortunate reality that our children are growing up during a time that violence in schools is occurring way too frequently.  Please see the resource below for some guidance, from professionals, on how to talk to your children about terrorist attacks and school/community shootings. 


National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement


Please keep all of those suffering from the recent attack in your thoughts and prayers.



MAP Test Results:

Below are the MAP test results for the 2021-2022 school year. We will continue to use MAP testing next year to gather information that will help drive our instruction.

RTI Program:

We are very excited to roll out our new RTI program next year. Our committee is working hard to make sure that everything is in place. Please see the attached letter for a more detailed explanation of the program.


A few things to note:

  • RTI is NOT a tutoring program for students.
  • Students need to meet certain criteria for intensive interventions provided by the program.
  • RTI instruction is above and beyond the differentiation that already occurs in each classroom. It is for students who need an extra challenge or some remedial assistance.
  • Since 8th-grade Algebra is above and beyond 8th-grade math standards, it is considered to be a part of the RTI program.
  • You will be notified by our teachers if your student qualifies for the RTI program.

2022-2023 School Year Staffing Updates:

Last week Mrs. Holder decided that she needs a little more time to care for her newborn son. We wish her all the best and will continue to keep her and baby Julian in our prayers. We have begun to search for a middle school math and science teacher for next year. There are many very qualified teachers searching for positions right now. We are confident that we will find the one that is the right fit for St. Gabriel!


We are very happy to announce that we have hired an elementary teacher to join our team next year. Mrs. Beth McAleer will be taking one of the elementary positions (details are still being finalized). Mrs. McAleer comes to us from Wauwatosa Catholic where she currently teaches fifth grade. Welcome, Mrs. McAleer!

School Advisory Committee:
The St. Gabriel's SAC would like to announce following ---
First, we would like to thank all of the teachers, aides, staff, volunteers, and Mrs. Lestina for their tireless efforts throughout the past school year working to keep our children safe, healthy, engaged in learning, and mindful of our Catholic Faith and School Mission Statement.

Second, we would like to recognize Teresa Neureuther, Amy Pentek, and Mike Mans as they conclude their most recent terms on the SAC team. They have been steadfast in their dedication to the SAC, the staff, and families of the St. Gabriel's School Community. They have led our school through many important decisions and thoughtful improvements that have brought safety, educational, and cultural policies into the educational model our children benefit from today. Their servant leadership, strong voices, and commitment to fundraising for the school will be missed and we are in debt to Teresa, Amy, and Mike for their many years of service and energy. Our sincere gratitude and appreciation for your time, talent, and treasure over your collective tenure.

Third, we would like to welcome to the SAC Tricia Gettelman (2 children at St. Gabriel's School) and Carly Collins (5 children at St. Gabriel's School) after a successful discernment process to begin their three-year terms. We are excited to have new faces, ideas, and perspectives as part of the SAC team. Their terms are effective immediately and they will officially start with the August SAC meeting.  

Lastly, our SAC team has space for two more members as we head into the 2022-2023 school year. Please consider if this is a commitment that you feel a calling to answer. To learn more, please visit the SAC tab on the school website at  https://www.sgabriel.org/school-advisory-committee or reach out to me directly at jeffreytpackee@gmail.com
On behalf of the entire SAC, we thank you for your support of St. Gabriel's School Community.
