In our commitment to continuous school improvement, the Archdiocese of Louisville Office of Catholic Schools will regularly administer perception surveys, certified through Cognia©, our accrediting organization and trusted partner in school improvement. The purpose of the survey is to solicit feedback from our stakeholders. This year, as a part of our celebration of Discover Catholic Schools Week, we are asking you, as well as our faculty/staff and students (grades 5-8) to complete the Catholic Identity Program Effectiveness survey. At the end of this paragraph, you will find a link to the questionnaire. Your feedback is a valued and crucial component of our continuous improvement planning, so we thank you in advance for taking the time to thoughtfully respond to the survey which will be open until November 18.

The Outstanding Catholic Reader Program is beginning this month and will run thru April. The program is for students in Kindergarten-8th grade. It encourages students to read books from our library that promote the virtues of faith, hope, love, justice, courage, and service. 

Students that wish to participate will need to check out and read books from their class list that will be provided. The books are in our library and titles are determined by grade level. They will need to turn in their completed list, signed by a parent by May 2nd to be recognized. Look for handouts that are being sent out.

When weather conditions cause school openings to be questionable, one of the following announcements will be made for the Catholic Elementary Schools in Jefferson County. 

1. “All Catholic Elementary Schools in Jefferson County are open” – Saint Gabriel is open.

2. “Catholic Elementary Schools in Jefferson County will be open, but on a delayed schedule.”  Saint Gabriel will be on a two-hour delay.  Buses will run two hours late.  Gym will open at 9:25 a.m. for student arrival.  Students are not allowed in before this time.  Classes will start at 10:00 a.m.  Dismissal will be at regular time – 2:45 p.m.

3. “All Catholic Schools in Jefferson County are closed.” – Saint Gabriel is closed.  In the case that Saint Gabriel is closed, Saint Gabriel Preschool will make every effort to offer full-day care for registered participants.  Notification will be sent separately.

 All morning activities, including detention, are cancelled for that day. Detention will be served the following scheduled day.  You will also be notified via the Saint Gabriel Reach Alert program.  It is the parent’s responsibility to sign up for Reach Alert and to make any changes to their account.

We will have 1 regular snow day before Distance Learning days start.  You will be notified via the Saint Gabriel Reach Alert program.
