CURRENT EVENTS & REGISTRATIONS


	EVENING CHAT WITH DR DISKIN In addition to hosting the "CommUNITY Connections" session, our superintendent, Dr. Diskin, is making the rounds to individual schools to connect with parents and help answer questions that you may have in the new school year. Join us this Tuesday October 27th at 7:30PM in the MPR. If you are unable to attend but would like to submit a question, please email info@glenwoodpto.net.
	HALLOWEEN AT GLENWOOD Our annual Halloween Parade will take place on Friday, October 30th at 2:45 p.m. (new this year: the parade will be AFTER the class parties). Families are warmly invited to join us for the parade; only parent volunteers may join the class parties. Students should bring their costumes to school in a bag. Costumes need to fit over their regular clothes so children can easily get ready before their class parties and the parade. Please remember that costumes must be school-appropriate (no toy weapons, guns, knives, swords, etc., and masks must allow children to see clearly).

	Parent-Teacher Conferences Parent-teacher conferences this year will be held Nov 9-12. You should have received a Sign Up Genius link from child's teacher via email to pick a conference time. Contact your child's teacher if you have not received it yet. Because of the conferences, Nov 9-12 are early dismissal days (school ends at 1PM). Bagel snack will be provided for those who signed up. There is no GASA on these days. There is no school Nov 5-6 for the NJEA convention. If you need child care on the early dismissal days or on the days off in Nov, consider the SAM program (trip calendar and sign up HERE).

Would you like to get more involved in the PTO? We have several volunteer opportunities this year, and we are looking for people to fill out the Exec Board and run some of our programs next year. Email info@glenwoodpto.net for more information on how you can get involved. We will find the right fit for you!

We can't do it without you! Thank you!

Yearbook Photo Submissions

Help us create a memorable yearbook by sharing your favorite photos from school events! This year, we’re excited to use a new yearbook company and software, Treering. Instead of submitting photos by email, families can now upload pictures directly through Treering’s online platform. The more photos we receive, the better we can capture all the fun, friendships, and memories that make Glenwood so special!
