Greetings from our Principal
Dear Glencoe Community,
It's hard to believe that summer is already upon us! I want to thank all of you for the warm welcome and tremendous support you have shown for me in my first year at Glencoe. I have really enjoyed getting to know all of you and your amazing kids! I am looking forward to a fantastic 2013-2014 school year.
I also want to give another big thank you to our amazing volunteers. We recognized Grandma Amy in our final newsletter and she is just one of the amazing people that make this school the great place that it is for kids. Our kids and community are so lucky to have all of your loyal support.
Finally, our staffing process will extend into the summer. The district has applied for a grant to support the new teacher mentor program and that will impact whether Anna Connors will be returning in 5th grade. Additionally, I am screening candidates for the temporary position (Sept.-Dec.) to cover in Ms. Bernt's 4th grade. There will also likely be a couple of teachers changing grade level assignments. I will keep you posted.
The warmer summer months bring great opportunites for additional time and activites with family. Please remember to stay safe.
See you soon,
Ewan
