Glenwood Pledge and Homework Awards
This week our Glenwood Pledge award and Homework awards were given out for the first time this year at our monthly assembly. The Glenwood Pledge awards are given to recognize students who consistently:
Walk quietly in school.
Treat others with kindness and respect.
Respect school property and the property of others.
Keep others and themselves safe.
Cooperate and always do their best work.
Our second, and most important award, recognizes students who complete homework every night. Homework is an important part of our students' academic achievement and will set them up for future success. Every month students will earn a different color wristband for completing all of their nightly homework assignments. This month students earned a hot pink wwristband, but next month the color will be orange. This month 204 students were awarded a homework wristband.

Makeup in the Fifth grade
I know how quickly children grow up. It is our goal to help our students learn the skills to navigate middle school and beyond. We work closely to educate the whole child.We do not allow makeup in the elementary school. It is our firm belief that our students are beautiful the way they are and the time for makeup will come all too quickly. We appreciate your understanding.
