Good Morning Gamble Montessori HS Families,
The schoolmesseger app was down in the afternoon last night and I was not able to send the phone/email blast.
Here is the 9.8.24 email blast:
9.8.24 Happy Sunday Gamble Montessori Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
We want to wish our Junior high (United Leaders) UL community a wonderful time at Fall Camp this week building bonds w/ their community and having fun!
Saturday, September 28 is HOMECOMING DANCE!! Doors will open @ 7:00 p.m. in the swamp entrance. A flier will get sent home from Gamble Student Council this week. Thanks!
**Attendance Policy and Information on Truancy Laws see filer HERE
*Last week, we averaged 166 students arriving late to school each day–that is approx. 22% of our school being late to school in the morning. Please ensure your child is at school before 8:50 a.m.
Stay in the game FCC Attendance Challenge HERE
September is Attendance Awareness Month! As you know, attendance during September is crucial. Students who miss 1-2 days of school in a month are statistically more likely to become chronically absent. Building awareness now about the importance of regular attendance – and reaching out quickly to check on students helps students and families know we are here for them and that we care about their learning.
Please remind your children to stay on top of their grades in FOCUS. They should check them daily!!
We will conduct MAP READING this week. Please remind your child to take the MATH MAP Test seriously and give it their best!
Please remind your child to come to school daily with a fully charged laptop.
Creating a parent account in FOCUS!! Please do this ASAP- 🙂
Parents: If you have not done so already, we encourage you to create a Focus account to ensure information is correct and up to date as well as to see how your student or students are performing. Link to creating account is in the email.

Order Online from the Gator Food Pantry!
The Gator Food Pantry has been restocked so we have our first monthly opportunity to place a pickup order from the pantry! Thanks to a partnership with the Freestore Foodbank, we are able to offer food from our school pantry to families for free.
Fill out the form at the link below by the end of the day this Thursday September 12th to place your order.
You will be able to select from several pick up times during the week of September 16th-20th to pick up your order at Gamble. If none of those windows will work, we will try to work with you to schedule another pickup time.
