Teacher/Family Connection
Device and Material Distribution
Hello Glen Lake Families-
Our fabulous teachers and school staff have been extremely busy this week preparing for the upcoming school year and the first 2 weeks of #HopkinsStrong start. We cannot wait to see our students and families again!
Monday, August 31st is the first day of school. Students will begin the year remotely and not in person. During this #HopkinsStrong start, students and families will learn and become more familiar with Canvas, our new Learning Management System, which will serve as a critical foundation for learning for this school year. During this start, students and families will also be provided opportunities to access social emotional lessons and activities, as well as an opportunity to spend some 1-1 time with the classroom teacher.
Our Device and Material Distribution Day is Monday, August 31st. Families will drive through the front loop and devices and materials will be brought to your car. Students in gr. 2-6 will receive an iPad, cloth masks (if a hybrid student), last year’s yearbook (if ordered), and 1st Day School Supply box (if ordered). For students in K/1, they will receive all of the above EXCEPT an iPad, which unfortunately are not ready yet. For our K/1 learners, we will be distributing a folder of learning activities and resources for them to complete during #HopkinsStrong start. Families will receive this folder on Monday, August 31 with other items listed above.
Here is the schedule we are asking that you follow. If you have more than one child at Glen Lake, feel free to pick a time slot to drive through, or come multiple times if you choose! If your assigned time slot doesn’t work with your schedule, feel free to come during a time slot that does.

Kindergarten Playground Nights
Parents of incoming Kindergarteners-
We are excited to still make Kindergarten Playground night happen at Glen Lake. To do this safely we will be breaking the groups down in size based on Teacher and Cohort assignments. Families will learn who their child's teacher is and what cohort they are in on Thursday, August 27th with a phone call. We will have an Ice Cream treat for the kiddos at the end of their time to make room for the next cohort. If rain occurs the event will be cancelled and we can look to re-schedule. Any questions please reach out to glenlakepto@yahoo.com
