Student SEL Climate & Culture Survey
Between now and October 18th, we will be asking our students to take a survey to see how they are feeling at this time and their thoughts about our school. This information is essential to us so we can plan around the needs of our students and school culture. A copy of the survey questions will be available for you to view on our district website. Please contact Dr. Mendoza or Dr. Padilla if you have any questions.

September was Suicide Awareness and Prevention month in schools across the US. At Glenn, we want you to know that YOU Matter!
