Holiday Share Bear
Throughout the school year, various agencies and community members are interested in helping families who are temporarily in need around the holiday season. If your family would like to receive assistance, please review and complete this Holiday Assistance Consent form and return it to school by Friday, October 27, 2023.
Attendance Habits
At our Building Leadership team meeting, we analyzed student attendance. Although it is early in the year, we found several students with high absence rates. We know from research that good attendance supports a child's success in school. Please visit Attendance Works for more information on this topic!
PreK Morning Drop Off
Just a friendly reminder that car riders can begin entering the parking lot at 8:50 for drop off. Please remember to wait in your car until a staff member comes directly to your car to assist your child. If you are parking your car, please walk your child to the main PreK entrance (Door 10) for arrival. Thank you so much for your assistance as we transition our students into the building!

Glacier Ridge School Directory
District 47 can not furnish data for a school directory. If you would like to be a part of a directory for Glacier Ridge, please fill out this form by September 30, 2023. This directory is assembled by volunteers in the PTA and is not associated with the school office or school district. Fill out as much information as you would like to share. The school directory includes: contact information for GR families (for those who wish to contribute) AND information on GR staff - including photos, favorite things, and other tidbits to help you get to know the GR staff (for the staff who wish to contribute). The directory will be distributed in early November, just in time for the holiday season! It’s also a great place to get contact information for play dates or birthday parties! Click here to submit your family’s information into the directory!
