Front Loop Safety
- If you are parked and walking to our school, please use the crosswalk. When we have an adult with a crossing flag, please wait until he or she lowers the flag and signals you to walk.
-With entering and exiting the loop, please drive SLOWLY, as we have pedestrians walking.
-Please refrain from using your cell phone while in the Front Loop. We don't want any distracted drivers as children are entering and exiting school.
Kindergarten Roundup
Celebration of Cultures Potluck Dinner
Please bring a dish to share and converse with your family and neighbors in the gym. Food can be dropped off starting at 5:45 and food will be served from 6:00 to 6:45.
This year, we are asking for student or family volunteers to set up a table to share about your culture. This table can be as simple or elaborate as you would like. We would love to learn more about the languages, traditions, clothing, and celebrations of our Glen Lake community. For more information on displays or what your display could include, please see this short video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5teTxZmYW7I
To sign up to create a display, please fill out this Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/u/1/d/e/1FAIpQLSehCZJCpRMjDQ9WA8DlKfOdcPGHbeHY5zHg_jOAx2HkMnIUXQ/viewform
Thank you, and we look forward to celebrating with you on February 7th!
