SIT Conference
This year Glen Grove School will have 26 students presenting at the Students Involved with Technology Conference. The presenting students decided on their session topics from educational breakouts from Sphero, Little Bits, Dash and Dot, and coding just to name a few. They spent many recess periods working to prepare for this student lead conference. Mrs. Funke, Ms. Dahmer and Mrs. Mervis will be attending as presentation sponsors. We wish all presenters good luck this weekend. We know they will do a sensational job!
Celebrating With Books
Do you know that you can donate a book to our school library in honor of your child’s birthday? At the start of each month birthday book letters are sent home to the students who are celebrating that month. A new hardcover book, on average, costs about $20 but any contribution is welcome and appreciated. If you choose to make a donation, your child will get to come to the library to choose the donated book from a special collection of new books reserved for “Celebrating with Books!” A special bookplate stating your child’s name and birthday month will be placed inside the book and your child will be the first to check it out to share with family and friends. This is in addition to his/her two independent reading books. When your child is finished reading the book, it will be returned to the library and become part of Glen Grove’s permanent collection. What a great way to honor your child and celebrate reading!

Outdoor Recess Procedures
Please make sure your children are dressed appropriately for outdoor play. In cold weather boots, mittens or gloves, warm jackets, snow pants, hats and scarves are a must. If your child wears boots to school, please remember to send in shoes for them to use during physical education. The wind chill factor must be ten or below or it must be too wet or raining before we cancel outdoor recess. The children are out approximately 20 minutes. Please note that children must wear coats if temperatures are below 32°F.
We are often presented with requests for children to remain indoors at recess, generally because of allergies or as part of a recovery from illness. If it is necessary for your child to be indoors at recess, a note from the doctor will be required. We appreciate your support and cooperation with our recess procedure.
