• Hello Glennwood Families,

    Welcome to Glennwood Elementary, home of the Eagles! We are excited that you are joining us for the 2024-2025 school year. Please read over this newsletter carefully as there are many important details to help you and your child successfully prepare for the school year.

    Glennwood Elementary is proud to be an EL Education school. We believe that students should be leaders of their own learning and that we are Crew, not passengers, where all in our school community work together to achieve more. You will see and hear many references to Crew. We will provide opportunities throughout the year for families to learn more about what it means to be part of an EL school community!

    Intentional teaching/learning practices, shared school governance, as well as personal and collective accountability will be our continued focus this school year. Our Crew is sure to achieve success in our academic and social-emotional pursuits!

    We have a phenomenal team of teachers and staff here at Glennwood. Supporting them are Summer Clayton, Assistant Principal; Jill Tolsma, Instructional Coach; Michelle Reynolds, School Manager; Jonathan Blase, School Counselor; and Dee Anna Rittenhouse, Library Media Specialist. All are available to help with any questions or concerns you might have.

    We are looking forward to welcoming our new and returning students and families to Glennwood. We hope to see you at the Meet and Greet on Friday, July 26.

    It is going to be the best school year yet! Get ready to SOAR!
