The Glenbrook Academy for International Studies is holding an Open House for 8th-grade students and their families in October. May I ask you to include this information in your newsletters? Thank you!

The Glenbrook Academy of International Studies housed at Glenbrook South High School is designed for academically talented students in District 225. The Academy curriculum links foreign language instruction with social studies and literature and offers an outstanding opportunity for students to learn a world language.

Selection of eighth-grade applicants for placement into The Academy is based on:

1. standardized reading and language test scores
2. middle or junior high school placement information, including grades earned, study habits ratings, and three teacher recommendations
3. application form, including personal essay
4. impromptu writing derived from a brief reading on a current global topic
5. personal interview with Academy faculty and students
6. 
   

The Academy is hosting an Open House for all interested 8th-grade students and their families.

Date: Tuesday, October 8, 2024

Location: Glenbrook South High School Auditorium, 4000 West Lake Ave
Time: 7 p.m.

For more information, please visit the District 225 website.

To help support the safety and security of athletic events held at both Glenbrook High Schools, any student who is middle school-aged or younger should be accompanied by a parent/guardian who must stay with them and be responsible for their supervision during the entire event. Students will not be allowed to enter the event unless a parent/guardian is with them.

District 225 appreciates your cooperation in maintaining a safe environment for all our guests.

Date: October 8th

Pictures will be distributed this week. Take a look and if you would like a retake or missed the first picture day... no worries! On October 8th we will host our retake day. If you purchased pictures please bring your packet back to provide to the photography company. If not, no worries! Just listen for your grade level and head to the WCC for your picture.

No worries! We just ask that you call ahead to the attendance line (847-998-5020 ---> press 1) with date/time of needed dismissal. Students are required to stop by the main office to pick up their early dismissal pass/ensure the digital pass has been assigned and also to sign out at the time requested. No need to come into the building as our front office staff will monitor and dismiss students directly to parent/guardian.
