BOB Pizza Party
The Battle of the Books teams are invited to attend an in-school pizza party on Monday, March 16. Members will need to bring a drink or any other food items (which could be purchased in the lunchroom) he/she would like to enjoy for lunch. Each student will be given 2 pieces of pizza courtesy of the Glenview Public Library. Teams will get to talk about their favorite titles as well as suggest some for next year’s BOB book list.
Are you interested in volunteering in the library?
We are always looking for people to help shelve books, organize the Celebrating With Books program, decorate the window displays and other special activities. There is no experience necessary to volunteer. We will teach you all you need to know to help in the library. Volunteer once a week or once a month, it’s up to you! We welcome any and all the help that fits your schedule. If you are interested, please contact Lisa Funke, the librarian at lfunke@glenview34.org or call the school at 998-5030.

Mandatory Health Forms For 2020-2021 Incoming 6th Graders


Outdoor Recess Procedures
Please make sure your children are dressed appropriately for outdoor play. In cold weather boots, mittens or gloves, warm jackets, snow pants, hats and scarves are a must. If your child wears boots to school, please remember to send in shoes for them to use during physical education. The wind chill factor must be ten or below or it must be too wet or raining before we cancel outdoor recess. The children are out approximately 20 minutes. Please note that children must wear coats if temperatures are below 32°F.
We are often presented with requests for children to remain indoors at recess, generally because of allergies or as part of a recovery from illness. If it is necessary for your child to be indoors at recess, a note from the doctor will be required. We appreciate your support and cooperation with our recess procedure.
From the Nurse's Office
Students requiring any medications during school hours must file a medication form with the health office. This form requires a physician’s signature as well as a parent’s signature. This form can be found under the Parents Tab on the district website in the health and wellness file. All medication brought to school must be in an appropriately labeled pharmacy container. This also includes over-the-counter medicine such as Tylenol, Advil, Cough Drops, etc.
Just a reminder....if your child is out sick with a fever or vomiting please make sure they do not return to school until they are fever free or symptom free for 24 hours.
If your children come to school after 7:45 a.m. please have them come through the front office. This is for the safety of all of our students.
All student absences should be called into the health office no later than 7:55 a.m. at (847) 657-2394! The school has voicemail so parents can call the health office to leave messages at any time.
Parent Visits and Our Security System
We welcome any parents who would like to visit our school and we ask that you:
