Thanks to all of our GLC families who attended parent-teacher conferences last week! Creating a strong partnership between school and home is one of the most important things we can do for our students. We appreciate the efforts our families make to attend these important meetings. Thank you!
Minimum Day TOMORROW (March 14)
End of Masking Mandate
Wearing masks in VUSD schools became optional as of yesterday, March 12, 2022. While the statewide school masking mandate expired on Saturday, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and VUSD continue to recommend face coverings as a personal choice to protect against COVID 19 exposure. VUSD will continue to provide masks for anyone who would like to wear them on school campuses and in District buildings. If you would like your child to continue to wear a face covering, we encourage you to let your child’s teacher know.
Cell Phones at School
At GLC, we are committed to creating safe environments conducive to learning. For that reason, cell phones are not to be used on campus by students and we encourage families to keep their child(ren)'s smartphones at home.
Students who do bring phones to school are expected to keep them stored in backpacks. They may also check them in. Cell phones should not be on the playground or out during the school day. If a cell phone is visible, staff will request the student to hand over the cell phone and s/he may pick it up at the end of the school day from the front office. If there is a second offense, the cell phone will be kept at the office until a parent can pick it up.
The purpose of these rules are to keep students focused on learning and to ensure a safe environment for all students. Parents who need to reach their children can call our front office at 559-73-7768.
We appreciate your support and thank you for reviewing these rules with your child, if s/he brings a cell phone to school.
Candy at School
Students are not permitted to eat candy in class (unless sanctioned by the teacher for a special reason), in the hallways, on the playgrounds, or at dismissal. As a reminder, students who eat hot lunch are not to bring any supplemental snacks to the cafeteria. If they are still hungry after lunch, they may eat a snack from home in the snack area.
Thank you for helping us maintain a healthy school environment!

Enrollment for 2022-23
We are continuing to accept applications for the 2022-23 school year. If space is not available in your child’s grade, she/he will be placed on a waiting list by grade level. Seats will be offered on a first-come, first-serve, basis. We currently have waitlists at several grade levels. A few spaces are available at grades K, 1, and 2. If you have friends or family who may be interested in attending GLC, please share this information with them. Applications are available on our website and in our front office.
