Hi Bend Gate Families!
We are officially one week into our Giving Market fundraiser! We’ve seen incredible support so far, and we’re so close to hitting our big goals for Bend Gate.
Did you know the fastest way to support our students is to share their shopping link? By sending your unique student link to friends and family, you help us reach supporters who might be looking for the perfect gift. Whether they are near or far, their support helps us enrich the educational experience for our students.
How to help:
Share your link: Copy your student’s personal link from their dashboard and send it via text, email, or social media.
Encourage a friend: Let them know that their purchase directly impacts Bend Gate.
Thank you for being such an amazing school community!!

💙 Bend Gate Families: The City of Henderson will begin milling and paving Green River Road from Highway 60 to Watson Lane. This project is expected to take approximately 2 weeks and may cause traffic delays, especially for families who park in the back and wait for students to cross Green River Road after school.
If you need to use the car rider line during this time, please notify the office. All car riders MUST have a Bend Gate car rider tag. Anyone without a tag will be asked to park and come inside to show ID.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work through these temporary traffic changes! 💚🐊

Here’s What’s Happening at Bend Gate This Week! 🐊💙💚
Good morning, Gator Families! This is a reminder that student supervision does not begin until 7:00 a.m. Please do not have your child arrive at school before 7:00, as they are unsupervised and this creates a serious safety concern.
Walkers: Please make sure your child does not arrive on school grounds until 7:00 a.m.
Car riders: Please do not drop your child off and leave until you see a Bend Gate staff member open the building doors at 7:00 a.m. This ensures that an adult is present and supervising students as they enter.
We appreciate your help in making sure our Gators are safe from the moment they arrive at school. Thank you for your cooperation! 💙💚
Bend Gate Families--Mark your calendars for HIGH ATTENDANCE DAY next Wednesday, September 9th. Students are encouraged to wear jerseys, hats, shirts representing their favorite team to celebrate this day! Classes with ALL students in attendance will receive a pizza party that afternoon!!
Bend Gate Families: While we understand that these items can be fun, they often interfere with learning and become a distraction in the classroom. We talked with all students today and shared that this will be enforced starting Monday. Please help us by ensuring these items stay at home--thank you for your support!! Have a great weekend!!
💙💚Smile, Gators! 📸 Picture Day is this Friday! 📸Please remind your child to come to school ready to smile for the camera. We can’t wait to capture those sweet smiles and memories from the 2026–27 school year!
