GLOW GAZETTE
WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2022
Message from the Principal
Students & Parents,
Thank you to our families who came out for Parent University on Thursday! We always appreciate an opportunity to engage with our families, and we are so proud of our student presenters who shared information and their perspectives on how our school wide expectations influence student interactions at GLOW.
Next month's Parent University will focus on Financial Literacy for students and parents, as well as how these skills promote preparation for college. Be on the lookout for more information coming soon. We hope you can join us in October!
Additionally there are many opportunities for students to get involved in extracurricular activities and leadership opportunities at GLOW! These are shared in this weekly newsletter, as well as in our daily morning announcement videos. We encourage all students to participate.
Wishing you all a great week ahead!
Kate B. Tayloe

🥪 Reminder: No Lunch Deliveries
Parents, we want to remind you that lunch deliveries from delivery services or from restaurants by parents are NOT allowed. If a student who packs her lunch forgets it at home a parent may drop off that lunch (in a lunch box/bag) to the front office. No other deliveries are permissible.
LUNCH (from Student Parent Handbook p. 9)
Just as students must be prepared daily with all instructional materials needed for school, they must also prepare in advance for lunch. GLOW Academy participates in the National School Lunch Program and offers all students FREE lunch daily. Students may choose to eat school lunch or bring lunch from home. Students may NOT have food delivered to school during the day, and students may not order lunch from a delivery service to be delivered to campus. Please note that food delivery orders delivered to students at school will NOT be given to the student; a school lunch will be offered instead.Beginning of Year Forms
Please ensure that your GLOW student's Beginning of Year forms are completed and returned to Leadership Advisory Teachers, as soon as possible! Once we receive 100% of our Beginning of Year Forms from ALL students returned with parent signature, we will designate the next Friday as a Dress Down Day for students. More information about Dress Down Day expectations will be coming soon.
COVID Testing Available
