Glen Acres Elementary School
Principal Letter
September 8, 2019
Dear Families,
We had a great Assembly on Friday about our Eagles' Way Expectations. Some of our teachers acted in a play to demonstrate the expectations. Champ, our Eagle Mascot, made a guest appearance to cheer with students and give out Eagle Egg dollars when he noticed the students being respectful, responsible and kind. After the assembly, the teachers engaged the students in more lessons about what respect, responsibility and kindness looks like and sounds like in different areas of the building ( cafeteria, recess yard, classroom, assembly, bus and halls). The students were great listeners at the assembly and active participants in the follow up lessons. What's next? The GA staff and bus drivers will give out Eagle Egg Dollars to students who are demonstrating the behaviors and then the students place their Eagle Egg dollars in the reward bins for a chance at a reward. Some of the possible rewards are a dance party, sit in the principal's chair, and bubbles on the playground. Enjoy the week!

- If your child is sick or you are going to be late, please call 484-266-1710.
- Please send in a signed note within 3 days of your child's absence.
- Please send your child in to school with foot wear appropriate for our playground and PE class. Sneakers are recommended. There is climbing equipment, mulch, black top and grass areas on our playground.
- I have seen several students with long necklaces and jewelry. My concern is when they are climbing in the play area. It is best to refrain from sending your children in with jewelry that can make play difficult.
- Our attendance secretary's email is tweaver2@wcasd.net. If you do not put the 2 in the email address, she will not receive it.
- If you pick up your child at the pick-up circle, it is helpful to us if you have your NAME CARD displayed in the window. You have received name cards, if you need additional ones, please let Mrs. Higgins know. She is at the pick-up circle daily.
Thank you for the help!
