5th grade student GT referrals (GT LEAD AND ASPIRE)
The referral window for 5th-grade parents to refer their child(ren) for gifted testing ends today,
This testing window is for current 5th graders who are not identified as gifted, but would like to sign up for GT classes in middle school and for 5th grade students who are identified GT and would like to test for the ASPIRE Acadamy. To refer your child for GT testing, you may obtain the Permission to Test and Parent Inventory forms from the school office or access them online. (You can fill out the form online here.)
GLENHOPE CEC
If you are interested in becoming more plugged in and learning more about the inner-workings of our school, there will be a form to complete in the office. The CEC members will then vote on members at our next CEC meeting in January. Membership is a two-year commitment, and we have two openings.
Here are meeting dates for the rest of this year: Jan. 22, Feb. 26, March 19, April 16, May 21. Meetings begin at 3:15 and typically last until 4:15 or 4:30 at the very latest.

Overdrive eBooks!
GCISD has recently acquired access to eBooks through the Overdrive platform. You may recognize the name, Overdrive, if you read eBooks from your public library. This is a new resource to our Glenhope students and is very easy to access! When building the collection, the content of the books were considered for elementary students. Go to the link below for a short video about how your child can access Overdrive and its features both at school and at home.
