School is a huge part of family and community life. It’s where our children spend their days; it’s where we gather to cheer on the home team, celebrate talent, and promote the pursuit of lifelong learning. Use this page to keep apprised of the news and events that affect your family.

In celebration of Halloween, students may wear their costumes to school on Monday, October 31. Please no blood and guts or anything that could be considered a weapon (plastic sword, play gun, wands, etc.). Masks (nothing gory) can be brought to school and worn during non-instructional times. Halloween will be celebrated in the classroom and organized by the teacher. Please talk to your classroom teacher about sending treats. Thank you!

Assessment Literacy Training for Teachers
The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) will engage a cohort of Wyoming educators in discussions about assessment using resources created through a partnership with the National Center for Improvement of Education Assessment. The goals of the assessment literacy training are to challenge and revise misconceptions about assessment, enhance knowledge about assessment, and provide opportunities to practice appropriate and accurate assessment uses. Educators will complete prerecorded modules prior to meeting virtually with WDE staff to engage in assessment discussions. Current and preservice teachers are welcome to participate at no cost.
To register, please complete the Assessment Literacy PD Registration form. Participants will receive a confirmation email with meeting details and instructions for accessing modules.
- Meeting 1: 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on October 13, 2022.
- Meeting 2: 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on January 11, 2023.

Gannett Peak has flex time built into the master schedule to provide extra reading support to students in need. This is to ensure that all students can read at grade level or above. Due to the overlap in time frames, this part of the schedule occurs during the science and social studies block. All students will receive exposure to science and social studies content. We may not assign a grade for science and social studies to students receiving the extra reading support during flex time depending on their readiness for assessments.
Please take a moment to review some important Title I information below.
