5th Grade Baby Photos Needed For Yearbook

Each year, we have a special section in our Glenhope yearbook dedicated to our 5th graders and their baby pictures. If you would like your child’s baby picture to be featured in the yearbook, please send us their picture no later than Wednesday, December 10th. You can visit the link below and submit it digitally or send in a physical picture (to Mrs. Robertson) that will be returned. Thank you!

Fall Parent / Teacher Conferences

Our goal is to meet with each of you this semester to discuss your child, whether they are struggling at school or not! We have created a Sign Up Genius (linked below) for you to sign up for a conference. We have been given half-day subs on Wednesday, October 22nd, to schedule meetings during the school day. The rest of the available conferences are mostly on Wednesdays and Thursdays during our conference time (11:20-11:55) until December.

Each of us will meet with the families of our homeroom students. If you need to speak with a teacher who is not your child's homeroom teacher, please sign up under that teacher's link. If would like to meet with all 5th grade teachers, please send us an email noting that after you sign up. Before meeting with you, we will speak to your child's other 5th-grade teachers to obtain notes they would like us to share with you during the conference. All conferences will be held on Web-ex, but if you prefer to meet in person please let that teacher know. 

Please The sign-up for conferences is below:

5th Grade Community Service Initiative

We have a goal this year for 5th-grade students to complete 8 hours of community service outside of the school day by the end of the year (4 hours per semester). Students who achieve 4 hours by December 5, 2025, and an additional 4 hours by May 1, 2026, will receive a party to celebrate their achievements. When your child completes community service, please be sure they are logging their time in the Google Form linked below. We have hung a tracker poster (pictured here to the left) we plan to hang in the 5th-grade hallway to track the hours completed as the school year progresses. We cannot wait to see the tracker fill up! This is an optional opportunity for students, but we hope to see several participate!

Also, if you snap photos of your child during their community service, please send them our way! We would love to see the work they are doing.
