GLOW GAZETTE
WEEK OF MARCH 20, 2023
Message from the Principal
GLOW Students & Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We are a full week in to the 4th quarter and hope you had an opportunity to review your student's progress from 3rd quarter as it was reflected on their Report Card last week.
As the days warm up and grow longer, it can be difficult to focus on the matters of school, but these are important weeks at GLOW. Ensuring your child is present and on time for school each day is as vital as ever. We only have 14 school days remaining before Spring Break, and we look forward to maximizing every one!
Please check out the latest newsletter, as it is filled with news and updates from GLOW Academy.
Wishing you all a great week!
Kate B. Tayloe
Principal
🚍 BUSES ON WEDNESDAY 🚍
Our 8th graders will be utilizing two of our GLOW buses for a field trip to Raleigh on Wednesday. 8th graders will be leaving before the school day begins and will be returning after the school day ends. As a result, we will split the Cougars riders between the Seahawks and the Wildcats buses on Wednesday morning and afternoon, as we have done several times this year when we've had a bus in the shop, etc. We wanted you to be aware that the Cougars, Seahawks, and Wildcats stops may be running a few minutes later on Wednesday morning and afternoon as a result.
We appreciate your understanding and wish our 8th graders safe travels and a Wednesday filled with learning and fun!
