Dear Glenbrook Families,
As we settle into the rhythm of October, our school continues to be filled with energy, learning, and opportunities for students to connect, grow, and shine. Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support in helping make our school community such a positive and welcoming place.
Our classrooms have been busy with engaging learning experiences, collaborative activities, and opportunities for students to demonstrate their growth. We encourage families to take a few moments each day to ask their child about what they learned, a success they experienced, or something they are looking forward to.
Regular school attendance is one of the greatest contributors to student success. Thank you for ensuring your child arrives at school on time and ready to learn each day. Every day counts!
A few reminders for families:
- Please ensure students come dressed appropriately for the changing fall weather. Outdoor learning and recess will continue.
- Check our school website and emails regularly for important information from teachers and the school.
- Label jackets, water bottles, lunch kits, and other personal belongings to help us return misplaced items to their owners.
- Please check our Lost and Found table, as it is filling up with student items!
We are excited about the learning opportunities planned for the coming weeks and look forward to continuing to build strong connections between home and school. Keep an eye on upcoming communications for information about school events, activities, and important dates.
Thank you for being an important part of our school community. Together, we are creating a supportive environment where every student can learn, grow, and succeed.
Wishing all our Glenbrook families a wonderful week ahead.
Sincerely,
Diana & Cindy
