A text message was sent Monday, August 10 for a test of our emergency notification system to all emergency contacts and staff.  Email blasts will also be sent periodically.  Not getting our messages?  Reach out to school@stgabriel.net to update contact information. 

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

• As you enter for morning arrival, please make two lanes in front of play park.  Left lane is for preschool drop-off; right lane is for K-8.

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

• 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.

• Please follow directions of staff politely.  

Consider purchasing an item from our teacher wish lists!  

What is Girls on the Run? 

Girls on the Run is a ten-week after school program that combines physical activity with inspiring, fun lessons that teach girls how to handle the difficult social pressures of adolescence. Girls on the Run provides girls with the tools they need to become strong, confident, healthy young women who make good choices. The curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches who are also St. Gabriel staff members! The team meets twice a week for 10 weeks in a small group setting.

This is not a running club or competitive program. This program is for non-athletes and athletes alike!

See flyer for more information!
