Glenwood Pledge and Homework Awards
Today the Glenwood Pledge and Homework awards were given out at our monthly assembly. The Glenwood Pledge awards are given to recognize students who consistently:
Walk quietly in school.
Treat others with kindness and respect.
Respect school property and the property of others.
Keep others and themselves safe.
Cooperate and always do their best work.
Our second, and most important award, recognizes students who complete homework every night. Homework is an important part of our students' academic achievement and will set them up for future success. This month students earned a teal wristband for completing all of their nightly homework assignments. This month 209 students were awarded a homework wristband.
If you ever have any concerns or questions, please reach out to the classroom teachers at Glenwood. All teachers have access to emails and will always respond within 1-2 school days. Working together as a team will enable all students to reach their academic potential.

Health Update 10/20/2017:
- Thank you to all those that have sent in recent copies of their children’s MD physicals and updated immunizations- I appreciate it. For those of you who haven’t been able to yet- if you could send them along as soon as possible, that would be great!
- When we receive a note from a doctor letting us know a child can not participate in gym class, we have to follow the doctor's orders. Therefore, a students cannot return to gym without updated orders that clear them for participation. Please make sure there is a start and end date, if possible, on doctor's orders.
