App of the Week
Seesaw is a student-driven digital portfolio that empowers students to independently document what they are learning at school and share it with their teachers, parents, classmates, and even the world. We started using it this week with our GRA books!
Boo Bash
Boo Bash is Glenhope's annual carnival with games, ride, food, auction & more. It's a very popular event with our students and families and a fun way to spend a weekend afternoon. It's also the biggest PTA fundraiser of the year and a lot of fun on top of that!

Our Class Booth is: Robot Race (balance pumpkins on head). Don't forget to sign up for a shift on the SignUp Genius!
Report Cards
As a reminder, the folder you will need to open to access them is called "Last Name, First Name 2016-17 Standards Based Report Card." The progress your child has made this year will be recorded on the report card document as well as on the ASPIRE Supplemental Report Card.
