Principal's Message

We officially have one month of school left. This is the time of year when we are in the middle of state and district testing and have a number of end of the year events. I'm sending this newsletter with just a list of important dates to keep in mind as we head into summer break. Our students have a lot to look forward to this month but we still need to be prepared to do our best each day so our students continue to grow and end the year strong. Our teachers have worked hard to plan extended learning and fun activities for your children. Be sure to read through the information they send home so your children are prepared to participate.  

In honor of Staff and Bus driver appreciation week, thank you for all you do for our students. Our journey would not be a success without your hard work and dedication. 

Thanks for checking out our newsletter and remember you can follow us on twitter @glendeningelem and check out our website at  gocruisers.org/glendeningelementary_home.aspx   

Proud to be a Cruiser!
