Sunday Message September 15, 2024Good Evening Gator Families. This is your assistant principal Mrs. Binns. Last week was a fun and productive week for our students and their families. The Title 1 Back to School Open House was informative and well attended. A special thanks to Mrs. Beebe, Ms. Williams and all the staff that helped to make the evening a success. Our students completed the Fall iReady and MAP assessments. Teachers will share the results with students and families sometime this week. For students who took the TAD (Thinking and Doing) test, participant results will be mailed this week.This week is Community School Coordinators’ Appreciation Week. Help us show Appreciation to Mrs. Kyle Beebe our Community School Coordinator. When you see her in the car rider’s line toot your horn and give her a wave.Also, join the “Resiliency Road Trip” series, led by Frank Kros. This series aims to empower adults who guide and nurture children by equipping them with practical and powerful skills to shape resilient minds. This will be held on September 18, 2024, at the James M. Bennett High School Auditorium. Remember we here at Glen follow the county dress code, and bubble slides are not permitted. Any change in your student’s regular means of transportation but be submitted daily to the office by way of email or note by 2 PM. An email must be submitted to Glen@mywcps.org from the email address we have on file. Students dropped off by car must get out on the passenger’s side or escorted to the side walk by an adult in the vehicle. Thank you for helping keep our students safe.I look forward to another Gator-rific Week!
