Yeti Yell 4.14.24

THE YETI YELL

April 14, 2024

Glacier Hills is a united community where all learners are awakened to their possibilities.

Hello Glacier Hills Community,

It is that time of year that we have a lot of activities happening.  The end of the year brings field trips and fun experiences for the students.  Please make sure you read the Yeti Yell as well as the classroom communication so you are up to date on what happening at Glacier Hills. 

This is just a reminder that the parking lot is not a drop off zone. If you want to use the parking lot, parents need to get out of the car and walk students to the crosswalk. Please make sure your students wait for the crossing guard, Ms. Gretchen, to cross them to and from the parking lot. 

Our Kindergarten Orientation for the 2024-2025 school year is this Friday at 2:15 in the gym.  If you know of any neighborhood students that are entering Kindergarten, please help us get the word out.  If a student is already enrolled, the parents got an email. If we do not know about the Kindergartener then we need your help to let the family know. Thank you for your help!

Reminders from last week:

As the temperatures begin to warm up, we would like to remind parents and students of our dress code. You will see below a simple illustration of what follows the dress code.  Please help your students pick outfits that follow this illustration.   If a student comes to school and does not meet dress code, we will call home and ask parents to bring appropriate clothing. 

Our end of the year testing season is quickly approaching. We will start our end of the year testing on April 29th.    Please build healthy sleep routines to help your child be successful. We are excited for our students to be able to show what they have learned this year!
