Principals' Message
Dear Gunston Community,
Thank you for your patience and understanding during the unexpected emergency fire drill during our last ceremony. Safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring everyone remained calm and secure.
Due to scheduling constraints, we will adjust our Ernie Eagle Award celebration for this quarter. Teachers will now host smaller, classroom-based celebrations with students to honor their achievements. This adjustment allows us to continue recognizing our students’ hard work in a timely manner. Teachers will communicate the details for their class.
We are excited to resume our larger, school-wide Ernie Eagle ceremony in the second quarter and look forward to celebrating together again soon. Thank you for your continued support of our students and staff!
Fondly,
Ms. Rucinski & Ms. Ferguson
