Glacier Ridge Elementary School 11.06.20
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Congratulations to Mrs. Biermeier for being named the Star 105 Teacher of the Month for the month of October. This is our second teacher in as many months what a great run for GRS. Mrs. Biermeier is an awesome teacher and she is so deserving of this honor.
As we move into the second week of all remote learning we have no update on any changes to this learning model at this time. The district will notify all of us should remote learning extend beyond next week.
Last night we held our first PTA meeting. If you have not yet joined our PTA now is the time to do so. (see the link below) We are a partnership and it would be great for you to join us.
Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy this beautiful weather while it lasts!
All the best,
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Reinhardt
G.R.E.O.
Having Tech issues?
Congratulations Mrs. Biermeier

Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held viturally this year. Our teachers are excited to share your student's progress thus far, as well as the goals they have for continued progress. (Remember we want your student present at conferences to share their achievements and goals.)
This year's conferences will be held:
Monday, November 23rd 8:00am-8:00pm
Tuesday, November 24th 8:00am-11:00am
Please log in to ParentVue and choose CONFERENCE from the left hand menu to choose a day and time that works for you and your student(s). (If you have more than one student you will have to select each student separately to choose a date and time for a conference.) Your response will be automatically submitted to the teacher, while at the same time marking that time slot filled. (The time slots visible when you login are the only time slots currently available.) If you need to change the time of your conference, log back in to ParentVue, choose CONFERENCE, unselect your current time which will then allow you to choose a new time.
If you would like a virtual Zoom conference with an Encore Teacher during conferences, please email BEFORE November 11 for an appointment. Appointments will be scheduled for Monday, November 23 or Tuesday, November 24.
