Welcoming Students Back from Spring Break
We look forward to welcoming back our students on Tuesday, April 7th! We hope your family had a wonderful and restful spring break.
This month, Glen Forest is focusing on the character trait of cooperation. Students will be learning the importance of working together, listening to one another, and supporting their peers to achieve shared goals. It is a wonderful way to build strong classroom communities and help every child feel valued and included.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us each day. It is a privilege to work with them, and we are grateful for the partnership we share with our Glen Forest families.
