------------------------Carline Reminders------------------------

Now that the weather is getting colder and our kindergartners have more experience with our end-of-school procedures, all students including kindergartners are welcome to use the carline at pick up.

 

 

Please help us keep everyone safe by following all the carline rules. The rules most commonly violated: 

  • Parents/caregivers should never exit the car. Teachers and staff will help students open and close doors.
  • Do not park across the street from the school or attempt to pick up students from the far side of the street. All carline traffic should run along the curb of the school.
  • Display your child's car tag in your passenger-side window. If you need a new tag printed out, please let the front office know. They are happy to make you a new one.

Thanksgiving Food Drive

 

Now through November 18th, Glenwood will be working together with all Millburn Schools to collect, assemble, and distribute Thanksgiving meals to those in need in our community. Please join us by donating canned and boxed food according to this list.

 

In addition to your donation of food, we are asking for a minimum cash donation of $5 per student so that we can provide each family with a ShopRite gift certificate to purchase a turkey, produce and other perishable food items.  

 

There will be collection boxes outside of the classrooms and a collection table just outside the main office. We will also organize car line collections during the event! Details provided on the food drive web page.
