Principal's message

Our Gladstone team has made it through year one in our transition to Barrows and Waterman. This was not any easy move for any of our students, families, or staff but we survived and are moving forward! Our goals this year are to continue to improve our social-emotional initiatives and our strategies and instruction to improve our students’ academic achievement.  We have prioritized students' academic and social emotional skills so that they are prepared to succeed in their futures.  Our goal is to promote a safe school environment that is based on respect, kindness, and high academic achievement. We also strive to provide fun and enriching opportunities for our students, such as field trips and school events that involve our parents’ participation. In addition to our focus on SEL and student achievement we are working on building our knowledge of and comfort in 21st Century Learning Environments. This includes flexible seating, changing the traditional classrooms, and PBL. These changes will prepare us for a smooth transition to the new Gladstone! We are not only a team at Gladstone, but we are also a family. Together, our dedicated staff and remarkable students are proud to be Gladstone Elementary School Huskies!
