Hawks Family Newsletter - August 10 - August 14, 2026

We've had a phenomenal start to the school year. The atmosphere across campus has been electric, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how seamlessly our school year has launched.

Teachers and students hit the ground running, building strong connections and crafting positive classroom agreements that set the stage for an incredible year of growth.

It was so exciting to see our students exploring campus, mastering their schedules, and moving through their days with such pride and assurance. Plus, our first assembly was a huge success! Gathering together to lay out our high expectations for learning and character gave us all a wonderful unified vision for the year ahead.

We are truly blessed with the best student body around! Thank you, Gavilan View families, for your partnership. Let's keep this amazing momentum going strong into Week 2!

Warmly,

Mrs. Antuna, Principal

Ms. Coronel, Assistant Principal

Please remember that students need to bring a water bottle, a binder, and their trackers to school every day.

There are no schedule changes for the first two weeks of school as we work to balance our classes and ensure students are correctly placed in the classes they need.

Thank you for your understanding and patience!

If your child will be riding the school bus to and/or from school, please review the bus routes.

A reminder that all school rules apply on the bus.

We do not provide transportation to students on a inter-district or intra-district agreement.

The Boys and Girls Club provides transportation after school from Gavilan View to the Club every day after school.

You must register directly with the Boys & Girls Club.

The bus stop is at the FRONT of the school near the flag pole.

Bus times:

Every student receives free breakfast and lunch at Gavilan View!

We do not allow parents or guardians to bring lunches directly to the school for their children. This includes Door Dash, Uber Eats, GrubHub, etc.

We have a no-device policy during school hours.

Devices must be powered off and in backpacks.

This includes Smartwatches, Airpods, Meta Glasses, or any other Bluetooth-abled device.

Headphones must be wired and able to be plugged into the Chromebooks.

Starting Wednesday, August 12th, students will begin receiving their new Chromebooks! We are thrilled to launch our official partnership with Verizon Digital Promise, bringing game-changing tech access to Gavilan View Middle School!

Let's make this year unforgettable!

Starting Thursday, August 13th, our students will take the i-Ready Inform assessment to help us pinpoint their Reading and Math strengths. Teachers will share the exact schedule with their classes.

Why does this matter? These results help us tailor instruction to your child’s exact needs—and for our English Learners, strong scores are a key step toward ELD reclassification! We want every student to give it their absolute best effort.

Learn more at the i-Ready Family Center.

Let’s team up for a great testing week!
