We have a busy semester ahead, so we appreciate your help in ensuring students are present, on time, and ready to learn every day, ALL day. Please continue to stay connected by asking your children about their day and keeping an eye on backpacks, emails, and calls for school updates. Your partnership with our teachers makes a world of difference. A special thank you to our Guardian, Parent & Teacher Organization(GPTO) for the holiday gifts! The staff had so much fun with the prize wheel. If you haven't joined the GPTO yet, I highly encourage you to do so—it’s a great way to support our school community.

Hello Glenwood Families! I hope you're all enjoying the beautiful Midwestern fall weather! I know I have no complaints—these last few warm days here in Illinois have been absolutely perfect, especially for someone like me who loves warm weather. The students are loving it too! They’ve been able to go outside every day without jackets, and it's such a joy to see them playing, laughing, and enjoying time together. We all know the colder days are ahead, so we’re soaking up every moment of sunshine while we can.

Hello Families I hope that your spring break with your children at home was fun and relaxing for you. I want to take this time to remind you that the online registration process for next year has begun. The only thing that you will need to do is log-in and verify that the current information on file is correct. Please take this time to update phone numbers and emergency contact information as needed. If you have your log-in information, go ahead and get your child registered. If you need your portal letter again, email or call the school and the secretaries will get the information to you.
