Wow!  Thank you for your support of our Catholic Schools Week Auction!  We raised over $25,000 for our school and preschool.

Items may be picked up in the school office.  If you won an experience, a staff member will reach out to you to coordinate.

The Scholastic Book Fair is back! Book fair will be available for in-person and virtual shopping.  Students may shop in the mornings on Monday-Wednesday  between 7:30-8 a.m.  Students will not visit in homerooms this time.  The Book Fair will also be open during preschool Valentine's parties on Tuesday morning and during conferences on February 11th (1:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m.) and February 12th (8:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.).   We’re so excited to connect our community through the joy of reading and create a fun virtual experience for our kids.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.

We can’t wait to bring the magic of storytelling to St. Gabriel.  Visit the book fair homepage at https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/stgabrielarchangelschool.  

Thank you to our families for working with us during carpool with the cold and snow.  Here are some friendly reminders to keep everyone safe and things moving as quickly as possible:

• Please respect school staff.  They are there to keep you safe.  We have hundreds of cars to manage, which only happens smoothly when everyone follows the rules.

• Please drive slowly, especially in the back by the play park.  

• Please refrain from using your cell phone while driving.

• If you are picking up a preschool student, please make sure that you are checked in before leaving your car to do so.

• Please pull all the way up to the cones and pull in close to one another so we can maximize our space. 

• Make sure to use the app or at least have your number readily available.

• If you are in wave 2, patiently remain in your car.  Students are not allowed passed the cones.

Applications for the 2026-27 school year are now available!  Know someone who may be interested?  Help spread the word!

Visit our website to apply.  Preschool through 8th grade will use the same application process.  Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.  In order to receive preference, current and parish families who are ADDING students must apply by the priority deadline.

This is for NEW students only.  Returning students will complete re-enrollment through FACTS in March.

The next snow day will be Distance Learning Day #5.  Snow day assignments are available to view on the Schooogy "Class of" pages.  Click here for more information about distance learning.  The Archdiocese Handbook for Catholic Schools policy allows for five NTI days.
