Principal's Perspective
The Glen was a BUSY place this week! We had our holiday shop, a PTO lunch for staff, kindergarten designed their gingerbread houses for their writing next week, and 4th grade had pioneer day today! With all of these activities, we have countless volunteers in our building. THANK YOU for supporting all that we do here at Maple Glen to make school not just about learning, but also about connection, relationship, and fun! Check out our Facebook page for additional pictures from the week.
I'm not sure the pace will slow down next week, but it's sure to be exciting! Our winter parties will be next Friday afternoon from 1:45-2:15. Please make sure you have an updated background check and sign up in advance if you're attending any of the kindergarten, 1st grade, or 2nd grade parties. The 3rd and 4th graders have a different program and won't need volunteers.
Enjoy your weekend!
In partnership,
Mary Beth Fischer

Lunch Sign-Ups
For student safety and to accommodate our limited cafeteria seating, we are allowing our families to visit once a trimester. To be prepared for our guests and to check the Safe Visitor Registration of incoming visitors (this is required for every visitor) please make sure you register 24 hours in advance.
We allow 5 visitors per grade level lunch. Please use one slot per person signing up. Due to limited space, visitors will be sitting with their child(ren) at their classroom tables. You have the option of bringing in a home packed lunch or purchasing a lunch at school. No fast food will be allowed at this time. Lunch menus can be found here. The price of an adult lunch is $4.80.
Attendance and Dismissal
Attendance
Please do this even if you let your child's classroom teacher know about the absence. This will ensure that our attendance secretary receives the information.
Dismissal Changes
If you have a dismissal change, please let the front office know by 1:00pm. This gives the office enough time to notify your child is where they’re supposed to be at the end of the day! Please DO NOT leave dismissal changes on the attendance line.
To notify the front office of a dismissal change, call (317) 896-4711, or email:
