Important Message from PTO

 

We have been able to accommodate late orders and add-ons to registrations considering it is the beginning of the school year and everyone is just getting back into the swing of things, but please be advised that in the future we cannot extend sales and registrations past the initial deadline.

 

It adds a significant amount of work for our volunteers and is unsustainable.  Deadlines are communicated via the weekly Monday morning newsletter, additional eblasts and are posted on the Glenwood PTO homepage.  We thank you for your understanding and consideration in this matter.
