 CURRENT REGISTRATIONS

GASA Registration Now Open
 

For those new to GASA, the 3:30-4:30pm program provides in-person after-school enrichment classes. Students will be escorted directly from their classrooms to their activities. It’s a great way to extend your child's school day while having fun and learning. 

 

***New class alert*** An additional section of sold out class Best Stories and Basic Movie Making has been added on Thursdays due to popular demand. In addition to the newly added section, there are still openings in several wonderful classes! Click HERE for more info. Click HERE to access the registration. Check out our fall flyer here

 

Please email gasa@glenwoodpto.net with any questions.

 
Fall Family Picnic
 

Save the date for the Fall Family Picnic: September 17! Pack a picnic and join other Glenwood families on the back field for the annual Fall Picnic. It's a great time to catch-up with old friends, meet new families and let the kids run around.

 

Wednesday September 17, 5:30-7:00pm  

 

The ice cream truck will be there serving frozen treats - compliments of the PTO!
