We cannot allow food from Taco Bell, Hardees, Wendy's, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Subwav, etc. to be brought to school at lunchtime by
parents for their child. This activity causes too many disruptions.as well as hurt feelings among students.
Parents may pick-up their children and take them out for lunch, as long as the child returns before the end of the recess period. ~

- Holiday Party Policy
The staff at Glenns Valley would like to express our gratitude to the parents and volunteers for the excellent classroom parties. The students
enjoy the games, activities, and most of all, the food! We want to continue these parties in the years to come.
How you can help with successful classroom parties:
l. If you want to help sign up to volunteer with the head room parent or classroom teacher.
2. If you cannot attend, give at least a day or two notice so your spot can be filled.
3. Please arrange child care for younger siblings. Do not bring olderlvounger siblings to the parties.
4. Sign in at the front office. This allows the school to know who is in the building in case of an emergency. Always wear
your visitor sticker while in the building.
5. Always sign out at front office. If you are taking your child home from school with you, make the appropriate
arrangements with the classroom teacher. ~;-o. 1

Dress Code for Cooler Weather
As weather turns cooler, please remember our dress code. Solid color sweaters and sweatshirts may be worn, but must be worn over a solid color,
collared or turtleneck shirt. Spirit wear t-shirts may be worn over collared shirt any day. Hooded sweaters and sweatshirts or other outerwear may not
be worn in the building. Shorts and Capri pants may not be worn after Fall Break.
Notes from the Clinic
Weather Reminder-Weather permitting students will be going outside to recess as long as the temperature is 25 degrees or above (this includes the
wind chill factor). Please dress your child in winter coats, hats and gloves so they will be warm.
Lice- With hats and coats for colder weather comes the potential for students to transmit head lice to lach other: We stress to students that they should
not share any items that come in contact with the head or hair (hats, coats, scarves, pony tail holders, brushes, combs, etc.). If you find that your child
has head lice please let us know as soon as possible. We make every attempt to minimize the spread of lice but we need your help to do this.
