Letter from the Principals

Dear Gunston Families,

As we reach the final day of school, I want to take a moment to celebrate an incredible year and thank you for being such an important part of our Gunston community.

This year has been filled with growth, learning, laughter, and so many special memories. From classrooms to special events, celebrations, and everyday moments, our Eagles have continued to show what it means to be kind, curious, creative, and committed learners. We are so proud of all they have accomplished.

Thank you for your continued partnership and collaboration throughout the year. The support, encouragement, and trust you provide make such a difference in the lives of our students. Our success is a reflection of the strong partnership between our students, families, and staff.

As we head into summer, we hope our Eagles enjoy time to relax, explore, and make wonderful memories with family and friends. We will have opportunities throughout the summer to stay connected and celebrate our Gunston community, so please continue to check our News You Choose messages for updates and upcoming events.

Our summer office hours will be 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. if you need to reach us.

To our students returning in August, we cannot wait to welcome you back for another year of learning, friendships, and new adventures. To those moving on to new schools, please know that you will always be part of the Gunston family.

Thank you for an amazing year. We are grateful for each of you and all that you do to help our Eagles soar.

Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle!

With appreciation, Ms. Rucinski and Mrs. Ovalle
