Arctic Blast
Glacier Ridge Elementary School 04.23.21
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
We've had an interesting week with the weather variations. Hopefully the warmer temperatures predicted for next week will stick with us.
This coming Monday will be the first day of in-person IAR testing. Students in grades 3 - 5 will be taking both the math and ELA assessments in class. We hope all our students get plenty of rest and eat a good breakfast each day!
In this Blast you will find a lot of information pertinent to our PTA. We are excited that they are bringing Auntie Annie's pretzel truck here for next week's early release. Also there are two openings on the Executive Board for next year. Take a look below at all the information.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Reinhardt
