New D34 Medication Administration and Emergency Action forms need to be completed for the 2024-2025 School year. The medication forms are valid if dated after June 8,2024.

You may drop-off medications at Glen Grove on or after August 22, 2024. Please be sure you have the D34 Medication Administration form completed and provide the medication in its original container. The medication should not expire before the end of the school year, June 3, 2025. If you have medication Administration questions please contact Jennifer Hastings, Glen Grove School Nurse.

If your student has a food allergy or asthma please provide a Food Allergy Action Plan or an Asthma Action Plan along with the D34 medication Administration Form.

Ronald McDonald Care Van is coming to Glenview District 34 and offering a flu vaccine Clinic.

The flu Vaccine is free( no cost) to any student who has Medicaid health Insurance or no

Health Insurance.

If you would like to register your student for the flu clinic, Please contact Jennifer Hastings RN

Glen Grove School Nurse jhastings@glenview34.org 847-657-2394.

When: November 11,2024

Where: Glenview District 34 School determined a few days before the vaccine clinic (A parent

will need to bring the child to the designated school for the vaccine appointment.)

You will be notified of the appointment time and school location a few days before your

student’s scheduled appointment.

We will continue with the procedures put in place last year as a result of improvements made to all D34 buildings. The outer door to the vestibule will be locked throughout the school day. While this is great for safety and security, it will make it a bit more challenging to receive forgotten student items during the school day. While we understand that students forget things from time to time, we also want to minimize classroom disruptions and traffic in the office.

If you are dropping something off for your child in the middle of the school day, please leave it labeled on the cart in the vestibule. Our office staff will do a morning and afternoon check of the cart and notify teachers. We will also do a student delivery of materials before lunchtime to ensure everyone has what they need for lunch and recess.

Congratulations!

First, a big thank you to all the students and staff that participated in this year's Pumpkin Character contest. All of the entries were amazing! Everyone is so creative with their ideas. Check them out on @GlenGroveFineArts Instagram page.

Second, I would like to thank the student volunteers who created the winning ribbons for our contest: Seneca in Ms. Gonzalez, Natalie and Liam in Ms. Parrish’s class, Anastasiia in Mr. Roy’s class, and Aiden in Ms. Margolis’ class. Each ribbon was beautifully made by hand and I know our winners appreciated receiving their prize.

Finally, the winners of the Pumpkin Character Contest:

1. Most Creative Use of Materials- Dogman by Jacob Z. in Margolis

2. Best Representation of a Book Character- Roz from the Wild Robot- Avery in Dahmer

3. Best Representation of a Hero/Villain- The Grinch by Lars and Jackson in Shapiro

4. Most Unusual Book Character- Bad Kitty by Anatasiia S. in Roy

Special Thank You!

The Glen Grove Community Project members would like to thank all the volunteers that helped make Friday’s event, Remembering Loved Ones, an exceptional evening filled with fun, food, friends and family. We would like to spotlight our Student Leaders for taking the time to help at the event: Tselmuun, Setsen, Bayamir, and Anastasiia U. in Mrs. Champney’s class and Anastasiia S. in Mr. Roy’s class. This year I asked if any students would like to help prepare materials for the GGCP events. There was an overwhelming response from 4th graders. We were well prepared for the event thanks to them and the small band of dedicated 5th graders.

Looking to Help in the Library?

We are always on the lookout for volunteers to shelve books throughout the day. If you have time, we are happy to show you the ins and outs of shelving. Make your own schedule, it can be once a week or once a month, we gladly accept any help.

Our 3rd grade scientists are getting closer to the end of their first unit by exploring the invisible forces of static electricity and magnetism. We know we can easily push and pull on things with our hands and feet, but we've recently learned how we can do the same thing without actually touching an object. It's not magic, it's science!!! If you would like to explore these invisible forces with your young budding scientists, try out some fun, easy to do at home activities here and here!

Between the Pancake Caper lab and exploring evidence for chemical change, the 5th graders have been hard at work with chemistry! They are doing a great job making observations as they follow step by step experimental procedures. This is all good practice for what awaits them in middle school in combination with the note-taking practice and writing like scientists their teachers are reinforcing when they aren't experimenting. And since cooking is chemistry, have them join in during meal prep time if they don't already do. It's helpful for them to see that the recipes we use at home are just like the steps they need to follow during a chemistry lab activity to make sure everything turns out as expected.

And here's a quick candy-related chemistry activity you can do at home to explore a physical property of M&Ms. Enjoy!
