Good evening Gator Families. This is your Dean of Students, Mrs. Parr.
The weather is starting to cool off and students are wearing jackets and coats more often. Please consider putting your child’s name inside their coats or jackets so that if it is left at school, we can help return it to the proper owner. There is a lost and found in the cafeteria that students can check for their missing items during lunch time.
A few reminders about the WCPS Dress Code. Hats and hoods should not be worn in the building. Shoes must be worn at all times and must have a strap on the back. Slides, flip flops, and any variation of slippers are not appropriate for school and should not be worn.

Attention families of bus rider students. Riding a bus is a privilege and should be treated as such. Any time a driver deems it necessary, a driver may suspend a student’s riding privilege for 1 day without approval from the school. The contractor/driver must contact the parent/guardian, stating the reason for removal and the day the student may not ride the school bus. The driver will also notify administration and administration will also follow up with the parent. More information regarding bus expectations and procedures, as well as the bus tracker app, can be found in our monthly newsletter at https://secure.smore.com/n/dtpgvk
When picking up one of our little Gators, please have your ID ready as we will be checking before the student will be allowed to leave the building. If someone other than the parent/guardian is picking up the child, a note from the parent/guardian is required.
As a reminder, please do not drop students off or allow them to walk to school prior to 8:30 am as we do not have staff on site to ensure their safety.
Please make sure you are checking our Facebook, Website, and Monthly Newsletter for the latest information about things happening at Glen Avenue. We look forward to seeing your scholars at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Thank you and have a great evening.
