GLOW GAZETTE
WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 18, 2023
Message from the Principal
Students & Parents,
We hope you've had a great weekend!
Thank you for the great response to our Beginning of the Year Parent Survey, which provides great insight to our teachers & staff. We are keeping the form open to be sure all families have a chance to provide feedback. Please take a few minutes to complete this anonymous and confidential survey.
Last Thursday students brought Progress Reports home for each of their classes. We hope you've taken time to review your student's progress in each of their courses and signed each progress report to be returned to teachers.
This Thursday we are hosting Coffee with the Principal in Founders Hall beginning at 8 AM. If your schedule allows, we hope you'll join us for coffee, a bite of something sweet, and some good conversation.
Please check out other important and timely information in the newsletter below. Wishing you all a great week ahead!
