December Challenge!!!

Throughout the month of December we are challenging our students to get to school on time each day. Students are considered tardy when they arrive at school after 7:50 am. This challenge will be a competition between the grades (4-8). The grade with the least amount of tardies during the month of December will receive a reward that students will have the opportunity to vote on. Currently it is a close competition between grades 4 & 6!

Looking forward to seeing ALL of our students' smiling faces before 7:50 am!

Gaudet Learning Academy will implementing a new standards based report card this year. Here is some information that will help you understand your child's progress. The biggest change is the scoring system, which is now 1-4. Please make sure to read the descriptors that correlates to the number. The majority of our students will score in the 2 or 3 range. 3 is meeting the standard which is very rigorous. Below is the information that was sent home in late September.

Report cards will be sent home with students on DECEMBER 21st, please sign and return your child's report card envelope.

As we approach winter break Gaudet Learning Academy will be having a little winter fun! Please encourage your children to join in on the 10 Days till Winter Break!

10 Days till Winter Break

A friendly safety reminder:

When dropping students off in the morning, please pull all the way forward in the car line so that cars do not pull around you. Please be sure students stay in the car until you pull up to the side walk in front of the building so that they can safely exit the car. We appreciate your help with this.

As the weather is getting colder please be sure students wear their coats, hats, gloves, etc for outdoor recess. We will be going outside as much as possible for students to get fresh air and to play.

The Holiday Shoppe is in full swing!

Each class will have the opportunity to visit the holiday shoppe this week. Students received information about this last week. If you have questions or you would like to volunteer please reach out to Mrs. Sams at PTGpresident@outlook.com

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Rhode Island is seeing the circulation of several respiratory viruses, including RSV, flu, and COVID-19.



Please keep your child at home from school with these symptoms: 

● Fever 

● Vomiting

● Diarrhea 

● Chills 

● General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness or

muscle aches 

● Nasal congestion with frequent blowing of nose 

To help prevent respiratory viruses, please remind students:

• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Wash hands often with soap and water.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Stay up to date on vaccinations.

Keeping a sick child at home will minimize the spread of infections and viruses in the classroom. Thank you for helping make the rest of this year at school as healthy as possible!

Thank you!
