Students cannot have attached keychains, plush toys, or other hanging accessories to the outside of their backpacks. Students will receive a verbal warning and be asked to place the item inside their backpack. If there are continued Issues the item will be collected and held in the front office for a parent or guardian to pick up. We want to reassure you that every student will continue to have full access to tools for focus and self-regulation. ‘Calm down boxes’ stocked with sensory tools and fidgets remain available in every classroom and booster area. Please talk with your child about leaving these extra items at home. Thank you for your continued partnership! |

Upcoming Grandparents Lunch: Glacier Hills would like to invite Grandparent’s to join us for lunch during parent teacher conference week.

The Grandparent’s lunch will be held on both Monday September 21st and Wednesday September 23rd. We will be giving each grandparent a visitor sticker to identify adults in the building. Due to new security policies from the legislature, grandparents will only be able to go to lunch and visit the book fair. We cannot have grandparents or adults walking students back to their classrooms or pods. Thank you for helping with safety.Grandparents are invited to bring their own lunch (NO school lunch provided for visiting adults). They may bring a lunch for their student as well if they would like. Grandparents and students will eat in the gym anytime between 11:00 and 1:15. Please come to the school lobby NO Earlier than 11:00 to check in, and a member of our AVID Ambassadors will bring your student to meet you. Below are the recommended days by last name.
