Hello Glennwood Families,
It has been wonderful to have all of our young Eagles back in the building this week! The energy and smiles at arrival after the Thanksgiving break have been absolutely fantastic—it's great to see everyone recharged and ready for the final push before the holidays.
I would like to extend a sincere thank you to every single family for your prompt response and patience on Monday following our unexpected water main break. We are incredibly grateful for your partnership, which ensured the safety and smooth early dismissal of all our students.
Our students have been hard at work this week, focusing on the STAR testing! They are doing an incredible job showing us all the amazing progress and learning they’ve accomplished since the beginning of the year. We look forward to analyzing these results and will be sharing your student's specific progress with you in the upcoming weeks.
Please take a look at the special invite later in this edition of the Eagle Edition for our upcoming Coffee Chat. This session is focused on supporting the whole child and is a valuable opportunity for parents to connect with our administrative team and learn about key initiatives. The presentation will take place next Friday, December 12th, immediately following the Community Circle. We look forward to seeing you there!
Important: Your Voice Shapes Glennwood's Future
Now, I need your help with an essential task: the GaDOE School Climate Survey.
This survey is one of the most important tools we have to understand our school environment from your perspective. The data collected directly informs our School Improvement Plan, helping us refine our processes and procedures to better serve every student. Your voice and opinion truly matter!
We have an ambitious but achievable goal this year: 100% participation from our Glennwood families! Please take 5 to 10 minutes to thoughtfully complete the survey and help us make Glennwood the best possible environment for our Eagles. Click here for the link to the survey. Let's show the district the strength of our Glennwood Crew by hitting 100%!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and commitment to making Glennwood soar.
In partnership,
Bill Howard
Proud Principal, Glennwood Elementary

Spotlight on Spanish Classes with Sra. Ramos
Hola!
-In Kindergarten we have been learning the names of family members and pets. As a fun project, we made and labeled one of the pets that we like: dog (perro), cat (gato) or bunny (conejo). -In First Grade we have been learning the names of body parts. Students were able to use their imagination to create a “monstruo” with as many feet (pies), hands(manos), eyes (ojos) and mouths (bocas) as they wanted. -In Second Grade we have been learning about family, pets, and parts of the house. During our last project, students wrote about their favorite part of their house. For most of them it was el dormitorio (bedroom).
