Welcome Back!
Welcome Back!
Thank you, Eagles, for a successful start to the school year.
Over the next few weeks, we will emphasize important safety rules and expectations and include reminders in the Family Newsletter.
Still a thing: DRESS CODE
Thank you to our students who did not need reminders about the dress code. Thank you for coming to school dressed ready to learn! Reminder that students who are wearing inappropriate attire will be sent to the Student Services office to either change into their PE clothes, a loaner shirt/shorts/pants, or sent home in order to change.
Again, Thank you all for a wonderful start to the school year. We Are Glenn. We Are Southeast. We Are In-Sync for Success.
Your Proud Principal,
Jennifer Padilla, Ed.D.
