WEEK OF APRIL 29, 2024
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
GLOW Students & Families,
It's hard to believe, but ONLY 19 school days remain in the 23-24 school year, and they are going to be BUSY! Please ensure that your student is present and on time for school each day!
While there are so many things happening every day, here are some highlights of special events on our calendar over the next 4 weeks:

- May 11 - Junior/Senior Prom
- May 15 - Senior Decision Day & Awards (9-11 AM)

- May 23 - Last Day of School (1 PM Dismissal) and Graduation
Additionally, AP Exams, End of Grade and End of Course Tests, and High School Teacher Made Exams are all right around the corner. Please ensure that your student is on time for school on each testing day so they are not making up tests/exams on the last day of school or during our Teacher Workdays.

Wishing you all a great week ahead!
