GLOW GAZETTE
WEEK OF APRIL 15, 2024
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
GLOW Students & Families,
We hope you've had a great weekend! We are looking forward to our spring Spirit Week this week! Each day that students participate can also be considered a Dress Down day for those students. The designated Spirit Days are outlined below, along with a reminder of our GLOW Dress Down Day expectations. In addition to our final Senior Spotlight this Friday afternoon, we are looking forward to our 1st Annual Seniors vs. Staff Kickball game on Friday, as well. All students will be spectators at this fun event. While Friday is designated as "College Day" for Spirit Week, students can also show their spirit on Friday by wearing purple to cheer on our staff, or orange to cheer on our seniors.
While this week promises to be a lot of fun, it is also a week that requires intensive academic learning as we head into our final weeks of preparation before End of Grade/Course tests and exams. Please ensure that your child is present and on time for school each day.
Wishing you all a great week ahead!
Kate B. Tayloe
Principal

24-25 Intent to Return
6th-11th Grade Parents,
If you have not yet completed the "Intent to Return" survey for your student(s), please do so as soon as possible to let us know your student's intent to return to GLOW for the 24-25 school year. This data is vitally important to us as we plan for the upcoming school year. If you are undecided, you can select that option in the survey. Also, if you need to change your response at a later date, you can let us know that as well.
You can access the survey using the link above. Once we have received responses from 100% of our families, then students will earn "Dress Down Fridays" for the remainder of the year. Currently 57% of our families have responded.
Thank you!
COOKIES!
