    Chicago Wolves

    Our students have the chance to participate in a reading incentive to receive a ticket to a Wolves hockey game! Students need to reach their reading goal 10 times between now and January 31st. The reading goals are as follows by grade:

    K-1: 15 minutes

    2: 20 minutes

    3-4: 30 minutes

    Any type of reading counts: in school, after school, reading to a stuffed animal, reading with a sibling, reading with an adult, comic books magazines, graphic novels, newspapers, books, online offline- whatever! The students just need to record how many times they met their goal, get a parent signature, and return the log to the library. Then they get a free ticket to a game of their choice!

    Winter Weather

    As the weather begins to get colder, please send your student to school with a coat, hat, gloves, etc. If there is snow, students should also have snow gear such as boots and snow pants to enjoy the snow during recess. We will go outside unless the Real Feel temperature is below 19 degrees.

     

    Lost & Found

    We have many items piling up in our lost and found. If your student is missing something, please have them check the bin outside of the office. Anyt important items, such as jewelry or glasses are kept in the office.

     
     
     

    Coming Into the Building

    Safety is our number one priority at Glen Hill. For this reason, we need to limit the amount of people that are in our vestibule at one time. When coming to the school, please ring the bell and wait for one of our office staff members to let you into the building. If you are in the building, please do not open the door for visitors. Following this protocol will help to ensure the safety of everyone visiting the building.

     
     

    Morning Arrival Procedures

    It is important for all students to arrive on time and ready to learn every morning. In order to ensure students are safely in the building and ready to begin their day, we ask families to be here before the 8:15 bell rings. In the event that your student arrives later, we have procedures in place in make sure they get the information they need to start the day. Any students arriving after the 8:20 bell are officially tardy to school. Families MUST sign them in for the day. We have all students waiting until after our daily announcements to get to their classrooms. Thank you for your support in getting your students to school on time!

     
     

    Absences, Early Dismissals, or Late Arrivals?

    Please contact the office for any changes to your student's day.

    Severe Weather Dismissal

    When we have inclement weather, we do not want to send students outside to wait for their rides home. We will hold students in the building and call them out to the cars once a family arrives. If there is enough time, we will send out an email blast notifying families of the dismissal process as it occurs.

    For walkers, please pick up your student at the back of the new gym. We will dismiss all walkers out the back door (Door 12)

    Car riders will exit Door 13. Please do not stand close to Door 13, since that slows down our ability to safely get students from the building.
