Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
We have completed our second week of school and we are so proud of our students, staff and families. Everyone is working so hard! Keep up the great work and keep on learning. This labor day weekend celebrate all that hard work by relaxing and spending time together.
Remember Parent Night this coming Thursday!
All the best!

Virtual Parent Night - Thurs., Sept. 10th 6pm-7:20pm
You are invited to virtually attend Parents’ Night with Glacier Ridge on Thursday, September 10th. Sessions times are listed below. This is an evening for you to get to know the teaching staff at Glacier Ridge School and to learn about the curriculum your child will be exposed to this year.
Please watch for more details to come from your classroom teacher. Our schedule will be as follows:
6:00—6:20 First Classroom Session
6:30—6:50 Second Classroom Session
7:00—7:20 Third Classroom Session
We have provided multiple classroom sessions for those families who have more than one child.
We look forward to meeting you virtually on September 10th. Working together we can accomplish great things for our children.
Family Contact Information
When we are able to transition back to in-person learning please carefully consider who you choose as an emergency contact. Contacts should be adults who are available during the day and have transportation should it be necessary to pick up your child(ren) from school. If necessary, please contact your child’s school to update your information.
Spirit Wear
Show your spirit and be safe at the same time! Glacier Ridge now has masks with our polar bear logo on them. You can order them at any time, but place your order as a group order by Mon, 9/7, and save on shipping costs. All orders will be delivered to and can be picked up from Mrs. Dougherty's house, right by school. She'll contact you when they arrive. The following link is for the masks, but feel free to order anything from our spirit wear online catalog.
Remote Learning Attendance Procedures
Student attendance will be taken online daily by teachers during synchronous learning. Any students missing will be reported to the school’s main office. Parents/guardians should call the school’s attendance line (available 24/7) and leave a message to report student absences for any reason. When you call to report an absence for your child who isn't feeling well, and can't participate in remote learning, please include your child's symptoms with your message.
Required Physicals and Immunizations - DUE Oct. 15th
Physicals and immunizations MUST be completed regardless of in-person or remote by Oct.15th. Exclusions will apply if not completed. (Physical exams must have been completed within one year prior to the first day of school.)
If a student requires ANY medication at school, scheduled and/or as needed, prescribed or over-the-counter, it MAY NOT be dropped off at school without a completed medication authorization form for EACH medication. The forms can also be found on district website.
Upon completion of your child’s health exam, forms and immunization records may be scanned and emailed to the school nurse by visiting the medical records submission page of the District 47 website. Forms may also be dropped off in our drop box located at our main doors or faxed to 815-477-5547
