A Message from the Art Teacher
Art Supplies!
Now that we are back in school full days, we will be having art in the classrooms! I will not be able to pass out and have students share items such as markers, crayons, colored pencils, scissors, and glue. If these items were brought home for art use, please have them brought back to school. The paper, watercolor paints, and clay may stay at home and are yours to keep.
Thank you, Ms. HausmanStudent Planner Cover Contest

Let's Document This Historic Year!
While it seems like a year full of challenges, we’ll want to remember our resilience during this historic year! Help our amazing parent volunteers -- Carmela and Kim -- create yearbooks for Westbrook and Glen Grove by submitting your photos of this year’s dress up days, your student’s e-learning spot, Halloween, and other school-related photos to the following emails:
glengroveyearbookpics@gmail.com OR westbrookyearbookpics@gmail.com
Some students were not able to participate in photo day. Therefore our yearbook volunteers will not have their “class” photo from Color Portraits. If this is your situation and you would like to submit a headshot of your student, please clearly mark your email “Headshot Photo” and include your student’s full name, grade and teacher along with the photo. You can attach additional yearbook photos to your email as well - just make sure the headshot photo is clearly labeled. All photos will be included, although we have to work within the capabilities of TreeRing and headshots submitted this way may have to go on a separate page. We will do our best! We appreciate your understanding.

Mandatory Health Forms for 2021-2022 Incoming 6th Graders
Health Office Information
Students requiring any medications during school hours must file an "Authorization & Permission for Administration of Medicine" form with the health office. This form requires a physician’s signature as well as a parent’s signature. This form can be found here, under the Health section on the Forms & Documents page on the district website. All medication brought to school must be in an appropriately labeled pharmacy container. This also includes over-the-counter medicine such as Tylenol, Advil, cough drops, etc.
All student absences should be called into the health office at (847) 657-2394! In addition, please call if you will be bringing your child in late or picking them up early. The school has voicemail so parents can call the health office to leave messages at any time.
Self-Assess - More Important Than Ever in AIP!
When your child comes to Glen Grove, the student self-assessment needs to be completed BEFORE YOUR STUDENT LEAVES FOR SCHOOL so that it shows up in our system by the time your child arrives.
Thank you in advance - this eliminates the need for your child to stand in line unnecessarily!
Log in to District 34's PowerSchool web portal to complete the self-certification tool.
Click on the SELF-ASSESSMENT link on the home page to submit your child’s temperature and answer questions about COVID-19 symptoms and exposure. Click submit. If you have multiple students in District 34 attending in-person on the same day, click on each student to fill out the self-assessment for them as well.
Please note that the question about domestic travel has changed.
When students arrive at school, a staff member will scan their ipad barcode or bus pass barcode to confirm completion of the self-certification process.
Please be sure to send your child to school with their iPad, water bottle and mask.
Masks are required at all times when students are in our buildings. The District has provided cloth masks for every student and staff member; disposable masks will be available in our buildings for those who need them.
If your child rides the bus, they must wear their mask and remain in their assigned seat.
Thank you for helping to keep our school safe!
