Gettys Middle: Last One of 2023

Dear Gettys Families,

Welcome to the last newsletter of 2023. It has been a tremendous first semester for me as the new principal of Gettys, and I am so grateful for your support and encouragement to me and all of our faculty and staff. Gettys is truly a great learning community to serve alongside because of the pride and dedication that all of our stakeholders have in our students' success. I hope that everyone has a great last week of the first semester. Please encourage your child to finish strong and do well in their last week. Finally, I wish everyone a restful and joyous holiday break.

Sincerely,

Jacob Nelson

Principal, Gettys Middle School
