Gayle Middle School’s Connect With Kids
Tackle School Attendance

Gayle’s CWKs team has taken on the Attendance Challenge with a lot of enthusiasm and seriousness. It is our team’s belief that students who are regularly in school form positive connections with peers and staff and that together we can make a difference in our community.
The team’s goals include:
