Glacier Ridge Elementary School 11.04.21
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
The weather has officially turned colder! With this change, we want to remind you that the children will continue to go outside for mask breaks as well as have their daily recess. Please have them wear/bring clothes to be outside. If you keep extra clothes at school for your child, which is always a great idea, please make sure they are appropriate for the current weather. For example, if you brought shorts and a t-shirt for extra clothes, it might be a good idea to pack an extra pair of pants and a sweatshirt at this point.
Parent-teacher conference scheduling is now open. Be sure to log in to ParentVue and secure your time(s). Scheduling will close on November 15th. At this time conferences remain in person. If this is a concern for you please let your child's teacher know so that we may make other arrangements. Along with this, it is important to note that masks are required during conferences. If you forget one we will have one available for you. If wearing a mask is a concern please contact your child's classroom teacher so that we may make other arrangements.
Tomorrow is a teacher institute day so it is a non-attendance day for students. Our staff will be involved in professional development for math, english/Language arts, and social-emotional development as it applies to student interventions.
Enjoy your long weekend,
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Reinhardt

Family Reading Night - Nov 18
Teacher Institute Day
Parent Teacher Conferences - SCHEDULING OPEN
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held in November. Our teachers are excited to share your student's progress thus far, as well as the goals they have for continued progress. (Remember we want your students present at conferences to share their achievements and goals.)
This year's conferences will be held:
Monday, November 22nd 8:00am-8:00pm
Tuesday, November 23rd 8:00am-11:00am
Please log in to ParentVue and choose CONFERENCE from the left hand menu to choose a day and time that works for you and your student(s). (If you have more than one student you will have to select each student separately to choose a date a time for a conference. Instructions can be found by clicking here. ) Your response will be automatically submitted to the teacher, while at the same time marking that time slot filled. (The time slots visible when you login are the only time slots currently available.) If you need to change the time of your conference, log back in to ParentVue, choose CONFERENCE, un-select your current time which will then allow you to choose a new time. (Parent Teacher conferences CANNOT be scheduled using the ParentVUE app. Parents must log in via the Web browser.)
If you would like to have an encore (Art, LMC, Music, PE or STEM), speech, reading teacher, or social worker included in your conference, please contact your child's homeroom teacher so she can make arrangements for that individual to be present.
Please contact your teacher or the main office if you have any questions or concerns.
It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's SUPER Library!
Our goal is for every child to check out at least one book every week. In order for this to happen, students need to turn in books on or before their library day. If your child would like more time with their library book, please have them bring it to the library during their library class and we will renew the book. When books are overdue, we send a reminder home. Please help your child look for their library books. If they cannot be found, please email gwjohnston@d47.org. Thank you so much!
