WELCOME TO SAINT GABRIEL SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT OFFICE
Saint Gabriel School would like to welcome you to our wonderful school. Saint Gabriel
School has been teaching and helping to enrich the bright minds of children for over forty
years. Many years ago Saint Gabriel School instituted a Development assessment. This
assessment means that each family in grades Kindergarten through Eighth Grade are
required to participate in a 500 point Development obligation. This 500 Points must
include at least 5 nights worked at Bingo. This assessment helps to provide your child
with a wonderful quality education.
There are no Development obligations for Preschool or Per-kindergarten.

school offers if they wish. Please know that your participation is welcomed and greatly
