Gehringer Elementary School

Message from the Principal

Welcome to our school webpage!!!

Gehringer School is a safe, caring, and respectful learning environment where high-expectations guide student success! We are a Professional Learning Community of educators committed to working collaboratively in an ongoing process of collective inquiry and action research in order to raise student achievement. We are committed and focused on the learning of each individual student. We believe that the collaboration between our students’ families and school staff is key in our students’ academic and social achievement! We encourage parent involvement and communication between parents, teachers, and administration.

We have an active parent volunteer center, a Safety Committee, an English Language Advisory Committee, Second Cup of Coffee Meetings with the Principal, and continue to host successful PTA sponsored events providing families various opportunities to get involved in our school. Thanks to the ongoing monetary support from our active PTA we have document cameras, SMART Boards, and large monitors to support student learning at Gehringer.

We pride ourselves in creative educational processes involving teachers, parents, students, community, and support staff. Grade level collaboration and planning time is scheduled on Wednesday early release days. This has supported successful collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure that we meet the needs of each individual student. As a Professional Learning Community school, we strive to meet the educational, emotional, and social needs of all students. We have an active Cubby Pride Committee composed of teachers, parents, and administration that focuses on the development and teaching of nine adopted Cubby Pride Life Skills with the goal of cultivating a caring school culture.

Gehringer Elementary School is a family of over 700 students(Cubbies) from preschool through fifth grade. Our staff is composed of 31 teachers, a .7 psychologist, one speech therapist, and 26 dedicated support staff. In addition our preschool program is supported by four staff members. Our campus also includes a Bridge Program for students in our district who require special emotional support. This class is comprised of one classroom teacher and one paraprofessional aide. Gehringer’s music program is supported by a band and a music teacher. Our Cubby Pride school family is proud to be a place where students always come first!
