Happy Fall Break, Eagles!


It’s hard to believe we have officially reached Fall Break! We hope all of our GV families enjoy these next two weeks to rest, recharge, spend time together, and make some special memories. We are so proud of all that our students and staff have accomplished during the first part of the school year, and we look forward to returning refreshed and ready to SOAR into the remaining weeks of our second nine weeks!


Today during lunches, we were also honored to celebrate our SOARing Eagles of the Month for September! These students were recognized for demonstrating what it means to be Safe, take Ownership, Achieve, and show Respect each day at Glenns Valley.


Take a look at the pictures below to see our September SOARing Eagles! We are so proud of each of them and the positive example they set for our GV family.


👕 Uniform Reminder


As we head into the cooler months, please remember that after Fall Break, uniform shorts and dresses/skirts (without solid-color leggins underneath) may no longer be worn per the district dress code policy. Thank you for helping us maintain our uniform expectations as we transition into the fall and winter seasons.


Have a wonderful and restful Fall Break, Eagles! 🦅🍂 We can’t wait to see everyone back and ready to SOAR!
