DROP OFF/PICK UP REMINDERS
Do not park or wait in Monty Lane.
Use the crosswalks. Do not walk across the street through Monty Lane. This is UNSAFE for you and your children.
Remain in Monty Lane and drive forward within the cones. Do not cut through the cones.
Do not make a U-turn or block driveways of our neighbors, even “for just a minute!”
Do not use a cellphone while trying to navigate through Monty Lane - it is against the law. Concentrate on your driving and where you are going.
Seat belts—WEAR THEM. It’s the LAW!
Due to the CVWD construction on Orange Ave., there will be intermittent street closures until mid October. Please follow the traffic pattern shown on this Detour map during street closures.
LIBRARY GUIDELINES
Last week you received an email from Glendale Unified School District explaining our elementary library guidelines. The district email also provides an opt-out form for parents who do not want their child to borrow books or materials from our school library. This information can also be found on our website under the "For Students" tab. You only need to complete the opt-out form if you DO NOT want your child to borrow library books.Thank you and happy reading!

VIRTUAL KOREAN CLASSES FOR PARENTS:
We are happy to announce that King Sejong Institute Center will be offering Korean language online classes for GUSD parents. This virtual program is designed to help GUSD families learn the basic Korean alphabet, sounds, and develop basic Korean language skills. Families with students in the Korean dual language program may consider learning Korean to help support students in the target language at home. Many shared that learning the same target language as their children has positively motivated their young kids to speak in Korean at home.
