Glazier Family Bulletin
September 20-25
Starting Week 6 of our school year!
Dear Families,
Can you believe we are 15% into this school year already? We have started this year with acclimating all of us to the current schooling protocols while also embracing the return of our wonderful students onto campus. We have appreciated your partnership with masks, social distancing, and health monitoring to ensure our campus can be as safe as possible.
At the same time, we are looking to the SEL and academic supports needed for our students this year. Through our SSC, ELAC, and other committees, we are monitoring our targets in Writing, Reading, Math, Attendance, and Parent Engagement, as well as supports for our English Learners and students with special needs. We look forward to Parent-Teacher conference week October 4-8 to zoom in on each child's successes and next steps for success in the 2021-22 school year.
Besides the dedication of our staff, the Glazier PTA is instrumental in supporting our goals: Thank you for joining and showing your partnership for home-school connections! Please note that the due date for submissions in this year's Reflections contest is Thursday 9/30. Think about how you'll represent the theme "I will change the world by..."
Please reach out if we can assist or answer any questions. Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Newcomb

Safety during end of day/dismissal
Dear Families,
I know about 98% of our families are abiding by driving guidelines such as keeping the red zones clear, picking up curbside, avoiding jaywalking, etc: Thank you very much--we appreciate you! School safety and other partnerships will provide added guidance for others as needed to ensure student/family safety is intact, especially at dismissal.
