On Friday, October 21st our Physical Education staff is inviting staff and students to our WALK TO FEED A FRIEND WALK-A-THON. 

We are asking students and staff to donate a canned good for a great cause. We will use the donations to make baskets for Middletown families before the Thanksgiving Day Holiday. Please help our community have a cheerful and thankful holiday.

4th and 5th graders will be dropping their donations and walking the track at 9:15. Let’s show our Islander Pride by wearing blue and white!!!!!

The Gaudet Middle School Student Council will be selling paper Halloween carnations from October 17th through October 27th.

GLA students may purchase carnations by completing the form that was sent home on Monday and returning it to their homeroom teacher. 

Carnations cost $2.00 each and will be distributed to all students on October 31.

There will be a Flu Clinic on November 18th held at Gaudet in the gym from 4-7 pm.

At Gaudet Learning Academy students are encouraged to ride the W.A.V.E every day!  

We Show Respect

Act Responsibly

Value Learning

Ensure Safety for ALL

This is part of our PBIS program. Students learn about what it means to be respectful, responsible, value learning and to be safe. Teachers and staff encourage and recognize students for meeting the expectations by earning W.A.V.E tickets. Each week we draw a few W.A.V.E Riders of the week to recognize our students.

Gaudet Learning Academy Halloween Bash

Friday, October 28, 2022

6-8pm, Gaudet Cafeteria

Tickets will be $10, students can bring money to school 10/25-10/27 and purchase them during lunch

We are still looking for volunteers for the GLA Halloween Bash!

Students should bring water bottles to school everyday.  Please be sure that the water bottles  seal tightly to avoid spills in the classroom.  Students may only have water in the classroom, other drinks like juice or gatorade will need to remain in their locker until lunch.  Thank you for your help with this!

Birthday Celebrations & Food in the Classroom

Birthdays:

We feel every birthday is special and we celebrate birthdays each day on the morning announcements as well as recognition in the classrooms. Out of consideration for ALL our students, we ask you follow our MPS Health & Wellness Policy (#5110) and ask that you not send in edible treats for the class. 

Other options to celebrate a birthday:

• Donate a book to the class or school library in honor of your child
• Send in non edible treats–festive pencils, stickers, fun erasers, colorful bracelets, etc.
• Donate a plant to beautify the school grounds, such as flowers, bulbs, trees, or bushes
• Donate a board game to be used for indoor recess or a jump rope, ball or outdoor games 

Food in the Classroom:

We ask that you not send in any whole class snacks/holiday/birthday treats–anytime during the year. We have many students with various food sensitivities that we must be considerate of. 

Please try to avoid sweet treats and candy as school snacks. Snacks should be “food to grow on” in accordance with Middletown Public Schools Health and Wellness Policy (#5110). Nutritious snacking is our goal as we teach our students about health and living well. 

Thank you!
