End of Masking Mandate Coming Soon
You may have heard that the VUSD mask mandate will be ending soon. According to a recent resolution adopted by the VUSD board of trustees, the District will no longer require face masks for students and staff in indoor settings beginning Saturday, March 12, 2022.
Please note that masks continue to be required indoors for this coming week. Therefore, we ask that you continue to send your child with a mask each day. In order to comply with our District's protocols, we will continue to enforce masking indoors through Friday, March 11, 2022.
Beginning Monday, March 14, students and staff will have the choice of masking or not indoors. While masks will no longer be required, we will continue to implement the numerous safety protocols, mitigation efforts, and access to testing resources we have in place to decrease transmission of COVID-19.
As parents, you will make the decision that is best for your family regarding masking. If you would like your child to continue to mask indoors, we ask that you reach out to your child(ren)'s teacher(s) to let them know so that they are aware and can assist, if desired.
For further information, we invite you to attend the Q & A session regarding the end of the mask mandate being held on Monday, March 7, at 5:30 p.m. via Zoom (https://vusd-us.zoom.us/j/97741005718).

Recycle for Sight Week
Do you have any unused prescription glasses in your home? Do your work colleagues have any they'd like to donate? We'll keep our Lion's Club International Recycle for Sight collection box in the front office for one more week. Please send any unused prescription glasses with your child to school and we'll donate them for you to Recycle for Sight.
Read Across America Week
Thanks to all our GLC families who participated in some shape or form in Read Across America week! You may have spent extra time reading with your child, helped with dress-up days, purchased a "Cat in the Hat" hat, or participated in our Read Aloud day. In whatever way you helped, your involvement is appreciated! Helping your child become a proficient reader is one of the most important contributions you can make to his/her success in life!
Enrollment for 2022-23
We are continuing to accept applications for the 2022-23 school year. If space is not available in your child’s grade, she/he will be placed on a waiting list by grade level. Seats will be offered on a first-come, first-serve, basis.
If you have friends or family who may be interested in attending GLC, please share this information with them. Applications are available on our website and in our front office.
"Cat in the Hat" hats are a big hit
