Please note our STAAR testing dates below. On testing days, Glenhope is closed to visitors so please keep that in mind. Additionally, we would appreciate you not scheduling any appointments on these days, as students will have to miss class time during the testing window to make up the STAAR testing they missed. If they miss a STAAR exam, they will have to spend an entire day of school when they return to make that test up.

All students need to have a personal set of headphones or ear buds. They are used in class daily, and will be needed for each student for the STAAR test next Wednesday, April 9th.
Please check to make sure your child has a working pair, as a lot have broken or gotten lost.
One snack will be provided by the school during STAAR Testing, but most kids could use an extra snack (that is not messy) and a water bottle sent from home to help sustain focus throughout the testing.
Glow Day has been a great opportunity to enjoy a fun day of learning. Thank you to the PTA for setting up and celebrating Glow Day activities in the Gym with all grade levels. Thank you also to all the parents who sent in supplies from our wish lists to make the day a big success!

Please remember to pack one nut free snack for your child every day in their backpacks. We have snack at 10:00, as we do not go to lunch until 12:00 every day.
Teachers are allowed to have pre-packaged Veggie Straws or Skinny Pop (original flavors) on hand for students who may forget a snack. If you are able, and would like to sign up to provide any extra snacks to your homeroom teachers, we would be very appreciative.
