On Thursday, December 19, all K-8 students will bring home printed STAR reports. For students in grades 9-12, these reports were sent digitally. If your child completed both the STAR Early Literacy and STAR Reading assessments, you will receive two separate reports. These assessments measure different aspects of your child’s literacy development, which is why the reports will differ in content. To better understand the differences between these assessments and what the reports tell you about your child’s growth, please watch this STAR Assessment report explainer video.

The payments portion of Infinite Campus will be down from December 24 through January 4 for scheduled maintenance. Families are encouraged to clear any outstanding debt prior to this period.

Read-a-Thon is one of our biggest PTA fundraisers that encourages all students to get excited about reading while participating in a friendly competition and having fun!

Funds raised by PTA’s Read-a-Thon directly supports Glennwood, including supplies needed for teachers, staff, and students, innovation grants, school improvements, teacher appreciation, Kindergarten t-shirts, and much more!

Prizes for: top readers in each grade, Super Readers who read more than 570 minutes during Read-a-Thon, the class with the most minutes in each grade, and the class with the most minutes overall! Winners to be announced at Community Circle on January 24th.

Will your class be the one to win the coveted Regal Eagle Trophy?

How it works:

Raising funds and logging minutes is easy and can all be done virtually! Click here to learn more.

• Register your child

• Gather sponsors (flat fee donations are encouraged!)

• Set a minutes reading goal

• Ready! Set! Read! (and log minutes once we kick off on January 13th!)

• Any time spent reading (whether independently or with an adult) counts!

This is a new website so each child will need to be registered (even if your child has participated in a previous Read-a-Thon).

Thank you for your participation and support! Questions? Contact Karen Pearl at readathon@glennwoodespta.com

All 5K and Pup Trot participants who register before Saturday, January 11 will receive our iconic long-sleeved t-shirt designed by artist (and Decatur lacrosse coach) Adam Pinsley.
