Principals' Post
Hello Panther Families,
Online report cards are now available! Please VISIT OUR WEBSITE for directions and more information! Your child also brought home their most recent iReady results on Friday. Please have a discussion with your child about their progress and contact your child's teacher if you have any further questions.
Recently, we have experienced a large amount of last minute changes to student dismissal procedures. We remind you that IF do need to pick your child up early OR require a change in their transportation, please communicate the change your child's teacher AND the school office by either sending a note, an email, or a phone call PRIOR to 11:00 AM. This helps us best ensure the safety of your child, communicate with our staff, and prepare your child, as last minute changes can affect the process of dismissal. We appreciate your help in this matter.
Just a reminder - barring any unsafe situations and adverse weather conditions, we WILL have the children go outside each day for recess, provided they have the necessary clothing items to keep them warm and dry. Hopefully, there may even be some snow for them to enjoy in the process!
When we have accumulated snow, the children who wear snow pants, boots, hats, gloves and warm coats will be permitted to play in the snow during recess time. Children who do not have those items will play on the blacktop area only - so they don’t get wet or dirty. Remember the FROSTY FIVE!
Your partners in education,
Mrs. Kristin Reingruber, Principal
Dr. Carla Braun, Assistant Principal
5Essentials and NPD117 Family Survey
We ask that you please take a few moments to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey. Our goal is to have AT LEAST 20% parent particpation - as of today, we are at 16%.
This survey provides an opportunity for parents to share information that will aid in our continuous improvement planning process. The survey information is also part of the Glen Oaks School Report Card.
To take this short survey:
- Visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/
- Type and select “Cook” as "County."
- Type "Glen Oaks" into the "School" field to select our school.
We thank you in advance for your valuable input that will continue to help Glen Oaks grow!
North Palos School District is also seeking input from our families. We have created a survey that will help us improve our parent orientation, family events, and communication with families. Please take a few moments to complete the NPD117 Family Survey by Friday, January 24, 2020. Thank you for helping us improve our systems!
