4th Grade News

Wishing all of our Glenhope families a safe, happy, and restful Spring Break!!

STAAR Testing

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.

Please remember to pack a snack or two each day in case we have none to offer.

If you would like, we could use more Veggie Straws and/or Skinny Pop Original and Red/Green Peppermints!!

Only YOU can prevent HANGRY 4th Graders!!

Glow Day - Supplies Needed

Thanks to everyone who has donated materials for our 4th grade Glow Day on April 4th. We sincerely appreciate it. There are still materials on our list that are very much needed, which we have noted with a "highest" or "high" priority. For example, every classroom will need 3-4 blacklight bars for the day to really be "Glow Day." The 4th grade wish list is below. We are very excited to provide this day of learning for students!
