All K-2 schools have their Meet & Greet scheduled for Friday, July 29th from 1:00-3:00. This is a brief opportunity for parents, students and teachers to meet one another and for students to familiarize themselves with the school and the classroom.

In order to be efficient and keep things running smoothly, Kindergarten families may arrive between 1:00 and 2:00, while 1st and 2nd graders may arrive between 2:00 and 3:00. The amazing GL PTA will be stationed in the media center - please pay them a visit!

On Sunday, July 31st, the GL PTA will host all kindergarten parents and students to meet and connect on the playground from 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM.

We will welcome students for our first day of school on Tuesday, August 2nd. Our school hours are 8:20-2:50. Students may be dropped off in the mornings at 8:00 am. Breakfast will be offered between 8-8:20 each morning. Dismissal begins at 2:50. The GL PTA will host parents for coffee in the front of the school (weather permitting) immediately after drop-off.

Welcome to the 2022-23 school year! My name is Beth Barrington, and I am the Glennwood school nurse. I look forward to getting to know our new students and families and welcoming back our returning students. Please review these back-to-school health reminders and reach out to me anytime with questions. The easiest way to contact me is through my email at ebarrington@csdecatur.net. For urgent communication, please contact the main school number. Additional health information is located on the CSD website under the Health and Safety

• All students are required to have an updated immunization record on file or a notarized GA form 2208(Affidavit of Religious Objection to Immunization) in order to start and remain in school.

• Please complete the Annual Data Update in the Infinite Campus Portal as soon as possible, including the health information portion. You should also receive a CSD Health Card in your child’s folder at the beginning of the year. If your child has a health condition that may require treatment at school, please be sure to include that information in the Annual Update and on the CSD Health Card. You can also reach out to me directly through email or by phone to provide additional information regarding your child’s health care needs at school.

• All medications require an updated Medication Authorization form each school year. I am unable to administer medications without this form completed in its entirety. Please note that prescription medications require the prescribing provider’s signature. All prescription medications must be in the original pharmacy packaging with the pharmacy label attached. Over-the-counter medications must be sealed in the original packaging. Please label these with your child’s name. I am unable to administer any medications provided without these parameters.

• Medical Care Plans(asthma, diabetes, allergy, seizures) for your child must also be updated prior to each school year. For the safety of your child and to ensure the most accurate, up to date health information, we are unable to accept a medical care plan from the previous school year.

• PLEASE have a current and working phone number of a parent or guardian in Infinite Campus in the event your child needs your urgent attention.

COVID-19 Mitigations

The CSD COVID-19 Mitigations Plan for the 2022-23 school year may be found here. Our current community levels of COVID-19 are in the high category, and masking indoors is recommended for all staff and students. If you plan on having your student mask indoors at school, please pack additional masks (4-5) in their backpack. We do have a supply of disposable student masks should your child need a replacement.

As always, regarding COVID-19 and other communicable illnesses, please monitor your child for symptoms of illness, and keep them home from school when they are sick, even if they test negative for COVID-19. Staying home when sick can lower the risk of spreading infectious diseases. If you have questions as to whether your child is well enough for school, please feel free to reach out to me at ebarrington@csdecatur.net.
