Hello Glenbrook Families!
Reconnect, Refocus, Refine...
Inspiration
“Refine: /rəˈfīn/ improve (something) by making small changes, in particular make (an idea, theory, or method) more subtle and accurate.
When faced with a challenge, what helps you bounce back stronger rather than stay stuck?
Last week, our staff took intentional time to reconnect, reflect, and refocus on our shared commitment to your children. With that renewed clarity, we are now moving forward and refining our timelines, strengthening our plans, and sharpening the work that supports every student’s growth.
We are grateful for the partnership we share with each of you. As we continue this important work, we look ahead with excitement and purpose.
“We are continually shaped by what we do, and what we choose to refine becomes what we become.” — Unknown
We look forward to meeting with all of you during Parent–Teacher Conferences on November 28 where we can celebrate progress, discuss goals, and continue supporting your child’s journey together.
Thank you for your ongoing trust and collaboration
Take care,
Cindy & Tracey
Weekly Wonder
