Thank you for all you are doing at home to support your child during these first few weeks of school. It can be a busy and somewhat stressful time, and we are so appreciative of the time and care you put into helping your child show up ready to learn each day.
We have the most INCREDIBLE PTA here at Glenhope. Please check out their website to learn more!
As a reminder, we have two snack times during the day. Please be sure to send nut-free (NO PEANUTS OR TREE NUTS) snacks.
Thank you for keeping everyone safe!
We'll keep this section in here for a while as we find it to be an important one!
We would like to provide additional support at school if your family is experiencing difficulties at home.
If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning or weekend please email me with the words "Handle with Care." Nothing else will be said or asked. This will let me know that your child may need extra time, patience, or support during the day.
Most Fridays we will go to the school library in the morning. 2nd graders can check out two books at a time, and should bring books back to check out new ones on Fridays as they finish books.
Thanks for your help in making sure books come back each Friday. Better yet, make a habit of storing the library books in your child's backpack so they are always there!
We will be working throughout the year on building your child's growth mindset. To learn more, watch the video below.
SAGE (Supporting & Advocating for Gifted Education) is a fantastic local organization you can join to advocate for the needs of your gifted children. We hope you consider becoming members. If you are interested in learning more about SAGE, please click the link below.
