School Communication System:
St. Gabriel Parish School has a communication system connected to our database that allows us to text, email, and/or call families efficiently. We will be using this system when we need to send out messages to all families, certain grade-level families, teachers/staff, etc. This system is particularly helpful in emergencies and when school is canceled due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.
If you are new to the school, you will need to opt in to this program once you receive the first message. After that, you will receive all texts, emails, and phone calls without needing to opt in. The system is set to use the contact information in our system, which is the information from your registration form. If you would like to add or change contact information in our messaging system, please contact the school office / (262) 628-1711 and let Linda know.
Bussing:
If your family is within our bus service area and would like to receive bus service this school year, please contact Riteway Bus Company (germantowncharters@goriteway.com) if you have not already done so. Riteway is in the process of creating bus routes and would like to complete the routes as soon as possible. If you do not notify them of your wishes, your family will not be added to the bus routes. Please list your child(ren)'s name and whether they will be riding AM, PM, or both. You can reach Riteway directly at (262) 677-8739 and speak with Becky or AJ.
Please also notify Linda in the school office so we can plan accordingly.
Back-to-School Packet pick up is this weekend, August 2/3:
Stop by the parish hall to pick up your back-to-school packets before or after the weekend Masses. The Uniform Swap will also be out for you to shop! You may drop off clean and gently used uniforms as well; please place your items in the blue bin. Note: The Uniform Swap will be back out again at the Ice Cream Social & Meet and Greet.
Meet and Greet:
Our back-to-school Meet and Greet is scheduled for Monday, August 25, 2025, from 3-6 p.m. There is much to do to get ready for the school year.
- Meet your teachers and pack your desks/lockers with all of your school supplies for the year.
- Meet some of your classmates, old and new.
- Step into the gym while you are here to get your school picture taken.

Please use this PrePay picture link to order your picture packages. Yearbooks will be sold at a later date. They are not included in the packages.
- Visit our uniform swap tables that will be set up in the parish hall. If you have uniform items that your child has outgrown, bring them along and swap them for a bigger size, or just pick up a few gently used items that your child could use during the upcoming school year.
We look forward to seeing everyone again!!!
