Please send a daily snack with your child that does not require the use of a utensil, along with a filled and labeled water bottle. Additionally, we are very fortunate to have physical education daily and will go outside for recess when the weather permits. As such, please send your child in sneakers each day until winter boot season arrives. At that time, please pack a pair of sneakers or send a pair that can be kept in your child’s locker throughout the week.
Birthdays are undoubtedly exciting and momentous occasions for young children, times deserving of celebration! You are welcome to come in to celebrate your child’s special day or send in a store-bought/prepared treat (no homemade snacks can be accepted). We have 17 friends in our class this year. Please note that summer birthdays will be celebrated in June, prior to the summer recess.
*Per the GLP Student Handbook, if you plan on having a birthday party outside of school, invitations must be sent via postal service to the homes of the students unless the entire class, all boys or all girls are being invited.
Please DO:
Make sure your child has a seasonally appropriate change of clothes in his/her locker at all times; if your child has an accident, please replace any items sent home
Check your child’s take-home folder each night for completed work/projects, along with important notes and flyers
Call the GLP School nurse if your child will be absent; a written excuse is required upon his/her return to school
Send a note in your child’s folder for any dismissal changes (please specify if it is temporary or permanent); for emergencies or unexpected changes, please call the GLP Main Office
Visit our webpage on the Eden CSD website to learn more about our classroom, as well as GLP schoolwide policies
Reach out if you have any questions or concerns
Please DON’T:
Send your child to school with toys from home as they may get lost and/or cause hard feelings amongst friends
Leave a voicemail or Dojo message containing time-sensitive/emergency information (e.g. bus changes) as these may not be checked prior to the end of the school day; rather, please call the GLP Main Office
This year, all students enrolled at the Eden GLP will qualify for free breakfast and lunch! Students who wish to obtain a lunch from the cafeteria will still need to order an entrée at the start of the day to ensure that they receive their preferred meal. Additionally, there are two important notes regarding breakfast. First, students who arrive tardy for school may not be able to partake in breakfast if the morning meal service has already ended. Also, because our class is scheduled for physical education right at 8:50, students attending breakfast may miss a portion of this special.
Parents and caregivers are welcome to come in and eat lunch with their children at the “Hard Work Café” any day of the week aside from Wednesday, which is reserved as a special reward day for students. Our lunch is scheduled from 11:20-11:50.
*Please note that families should continue to complete the free/reduced meal application as this information is used for State Aid purposes.
