Monthly Spotlight: Our Main Office
Our main office staff:
- Ms. Maloney-Secretary
- Mrs. Grochocinski- Health Aide
- Mrs. Petkus- Teacher Clerk
These three ladies are the first people you see when you enter Glen Oaks! They are usually listening to music and laughing about something. They are ALWAYS happy to see everyone and make sure to greet everyone with a smile. Yummy coffee and treats are always plentiful in the office.
A few reminders from our lovely main office staff:
- If you are planning to pick your child up from school early, please let your child's teacher know in advance. You can email, send a note, or make a phone call. This ensures that your child is prepared and ready to go.
- If your child will be absent from school, please call our attendance line at (708) 598-5711. Press 9 to report your student absent.
- Click here for some friendly reminders from our Health Clerk.
Glen Oaks is lucky to have them! You can even follow them on Twitter @OaksOffice .
Enjoy photos from the office!
End of 2nd Quarter Report Cards
View your child's report card online today after 4:00 PM! Hard copies will NOT be sent home.
You will need to use PowerSchool Parent Access to access your child’s report card. Please refer to the following information to assist you in this process.
Please contact the office ASAP if you require assistance with this process. As always, please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make the transition to digital report cards.
Be Seen and Be Heard
Please see the letter from Dr. Paula Couglin (Assistant Superintendent of Special Education) regarding our upcoming assembly on Erin's Law, or House Bill 6193. State law requires public schools to provide education on personal safety, abuse education, and prevention.
On Wednesday, January 16th, Glen Oaks School hosted the assembly for our students during school hours. The assembly, presented by Victor Pacini, is entitled "Be Seen and Heard." Here are some additional resources:
Frosty Five
Additionally, if there is snow on the ground, our Panthers CAN play in the snow. However, they will NOT be allowed to play in the snow unless they have the "Frosty Five."
The "Frosty 5" include:
- Hat or hood
- Gloves or mittens
- Snow pants
- Boots
- Winter coat
Calling All Actors and Actresses!
Come with us to a world of pure imagination and try out for Willie Wonka Kids!
District 117 is excited to be staging a musical production of “Willie Wonka Kids” in May, 2019. This opportunity is being extended to 4th and 5th grade students from Oak Ridge and Glen Oaks Schools.
As a REQUIREMENT for auditions, families MUST commit to the responsibilities outlined in this letter. If your child is interested in this opportunity, please follow our online process to enroll your child in auditions PRIOR TO FRIDAY, JANUARY 25th. Once signup is closed, further information will be sent home to those who signed up to audition.
5 Essentials Parent Survey
We ask that you please take a few moments to complete the 5Essentials PARENT SURVEY for Glen Oaks School.
This survey is to be completed by parents, guardians, or other caregivers with a child in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. The parent survey is available in both English and Spanish and only takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
If you have more than one child and they attend the same school, you may elect to participate multiple times. For parents with children enrolled in multiple schools, we recommend that they participate in the survey for each school. Only one parent per household may participate in the survey.
Please note, parents DO have the option to leave their email address so that a confirmation of survey completion can be sent upon submission of the parent survey supplement. That text box can be left blank if you do not want to provide or have an email address.
The survey window closes February 15, 2019.
As always, we appreciate your participation and feedback in helping make Glen Oaks School a great place to learn and grow!
