The Glacier Bear Gazette

Dear Families,

Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in a conference this year! Our school hit 92% participation and our teaching staff enjoyed having the opportunity to connect with your family and share about your child's progress! The end of trimester was on Friday, February 28th. Report cards and progress reports should be sent home by 3/7.

Spring Break

There is no school the week of March 24-28th due to Spring Break. If your child participates with RALLY, there is a seperate registration for this period. Please reach out directly to RALLY with your questions about registration.

JSD Budget Process

The district is still working through the budget process. There are two upcoming meetings this month - March 11 and March 13, both focused on the FY2026 Budget. This information will give us an idea about our classroom configurations for the next school year. Overall, the district predicts continued decline in enrollment estimated around 3%.

Have a Great Month!

Dana Wyatt, Principal

Please consider ordering some SES-GV Spirit Gear! Flyers went home recently with info about how to order online @ https://grpsvcs.link/BY6ssK Each Friday we wear our Spirit Gear at school.

Special thanks to Mr. Wyatt for leading the Cocoa & Books Event last month. We also had several staff members help support this event and we appreciate their time!

We had over 170 people in attendance where pajama-clad students were able to build 100s day necklaces, hunt for 100s, enjoy cocoa & cookies and take a book home! Join us for our next family engagement event!

We have an abundance of lost and found. We will be putting out a table with Lost & Found the week before Spring Break. Please ask your child to collect their belongings as we will be washing and donating all lost and found from 2024.
