I hope your Spring Break was restful and a time to enjoy each other as well as the outdoors. Spring has sprung at Gudith Elementary and the sunshine jitters are in full swing throughout the building. We remain in full academic mode at Gudith. Staff and students are working toward all the end-of-the-year goals - academic and social. To watch light bulbs turn on, and learning take place, is a treasure. As we wind down this school year, we would like to encourage your students to keep working hard to finish strong!

WBSD Visitor/Volunteer Management System

Please have your ID with you when you come to visit us!

Our number one priority at Gudith is the safety of our students, staff, and visitors. To make our building safe, we have installed a Visitor Management System. Each time a visitor or volunteer arrives, they are required to immediately report to the main office to scan their identification and receive a visitor's/volunteer badge before they are permitted to enter.

The visitor management system is used to verify the identity of a visitor, keep track of check-in and check-out times, and print custom visitor labels. It also provides a consistent system to track visitors and volunteers across the district.

 

ID Needed

We love celebrating our students’ birthdays and making them feel special! To keep our classroom safe, healthy, and inclusive for all children, we will no longer be accepting food or edible birthday treats. Instead, we will celebrate birthdays in fun, non-food ways — such as:

The birthday child is wearing a special crown

The class will sing the birthday song

Choosing a favorite book to bring from home/or choosing one in our class to be read aloud

Please know that we will be sure to make each student feel very special on their day!

The Zones of Regulation ("The Zones")

Gudith Staff and Students will be participating in The Zones of Regulation curriculum, which are lessons to help them gain skills in the area of self-regulation. Self-regulation is defined as the best state of alertness of both the body and emotions for a specific situation. The lessons and learning activities are designed to help the students recognize when they are in the different zones as well as learn how to use strategies to change or stay in the zone they are in.
