Valentine’s Day at Glenbrook School 💗
At Glenbrook School, Valentine’s Day is approached as a celebration of kindness, friendship, and inclusivity. Our focus is on helping students feel a sense of belonging and care for one another, rather than on gifts or treats.
To support this message, we ask families to keep the following guidelines in mind:
💌 Valentines and Cards
- If students choose to bring Valentine cards, they must be for the entire class, not just a small group of friends.
- This helps ensure that all students feel included and valued.
🌟 Participation Is Optional
- Students are not required to participate in Valentine’s Day activities.
- Choosing not to bring or exchange Valentine's is completely okay and will be respected.
🚫 No Food or Treats
- Please note that no food or snack items are permitted for Valentine’s Day sharing.
- This helps us maintain a safe and equitable environment for all students.
We appreciate your support in helping us reinforce the importance of kindness, empathy, and respect within our school community. Thank you for partnering with us to make Valentine’s Day a positive and inclusive experience for everyone at Glenbrook School.

Dear Families,
Tomorrow we will be holding our school conferences. Thank you to all the parents who have already signed up—I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your child’s progress.
Next week, we will be beginning a few new learning topics in our classroom. In writing, students will start focusing on using more descriptive language in their daily writing practice. In science, we will begin our computer science unit, which includes an introduction to coding.
We will continue exploring ancient civilizations in social studies, while in math, we remain focused on strengthening students’ basic facts.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your continued support!

Dear Families,
Please remember that our Fall Break starts today! There will be no school on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
In Math, we’re starting a new unit on Basic Facts. Over the break, please take a few minutes each day to review addition and subtraction facts with your student. Consistent practice helps build speed and confidence with numbers!
Here are a couple of great websites you can use for practice:
