Communication is the key to a positive partnership between the Glen Loch staff and our Gator families. We want to make you aware of a small change in how we relay information regarding behaviors that occur at school — specifically behaviors in the classroom that may impede your child’s learning or the learning of others.

Instead of writing notes in the daily folder, we will now contact you by phone. This will allow us to have a conversation about the behavior and work together to find solutions that help prevent the behavior from continuing.

Thank you for your support and partnership!

Best,

Kris Smith

5. When exiting, take a RIGHT HAND TURN out of Glen Loch onto Glen Loch Drive.

• Give yourself plenty of time and understand traffic can get heavy between 7:40AM and 7:55AM.

In 3rd and 4th grade, students are continuing to strengthen their cutting skills by designing positive and negative space paper collages. As a final step, they are enhancing their projects with paint.

Music- In music, Kindergarten and First are learning how to create musical patterns with singing and instruments. Second grade is preparing for their Spring Musical, and third and fourth are reviewing musical elements with instruments and games.

***Dates are subject to Change***

Regular attendance is essential for your child's academic growth, starting from preschool and kindergarten.

• Missing just 10% of school (about 2 days a month) can cause students to fall behind, particularly in key areas like reading.

• Missing one or two days every few weeks can quickly add up and make it harder to catch up on missed material.

• Being late or leaving early also disrupts the learning process and negatively impacts overall attendance.

• When students are absent, teachers may need to slow down the pace to help catch them up, which can affect the entire class.

By prioritizing consistent attendance, you’re giving your child the best chance to thrive academically and stay on track throughout the school year.

• Check-In: Please bring a government-issued ID to the front desk to sign in and receive a visitor’s badge. Be sure to wear it visibly throughout your time on campus.

• Seating: Once in the lunchroom, please sit at the designated visitors’ table with your child(ren), as space is limited at the student tables.

• Spending Time with Your Child: We understand this is a special moment, so we kindly ask that you only sit with your child during lunch.

• Sign-Out: After lunch, please return to the front office to sign out with our staff.

• Photos: We kindly request that if you take a picture, it is only of your child. No videos please.

Lunch times:

10:55 - 3rd/4th Grades

11:30 - 1st/2nd Grades

12:05 - PK/KG/ECSE 4s

"Great work from our 3rd and 4th graders this week! They’ve been learning ways to handle conflicts in positive, healthy ways. More lessons to come next week!"
