Dear Glendale Prep Parents,

These are the upcoming events for the week of August 25th:

Restaurant Night: Thank you to so many families and teachers who made our first restaurant night at Paradise Bakery night a huge success!   The management told me several times that Glendale Prep has a great group of kids.  It was wonderful to see so many families mingling and supporting the school.  As the time passed, students could even be found grouped together in the back working together to complete their homework assignments.  In the end, the 10th grade tip jar contained the most money by a mere 10 cents!  They celebrated today with a cookie party, courtesy of Paradise Bakery, during their lunch time.

Curriculum Night: This Friday, August 28th is Glendale Preparatory Academy’s Curriculum Night for the 2009-2010 school year.  The event begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Narthex, where our lunch vendors will be serving samples of our new yummy food options that are available to our students for Hot Lunch.  After a brief opening presentation of the educational vision and curriculum of the school, the remainder of the evening will be devoted to you following your child’s schedule and meeting all of their teachers. See   you there!

Calendar Reminder: This Friday, August 28th is a full day of school.  Next Friday, September 4, is a half day (8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) and also the start of the students’ first “R & R” weekend (rest & relaxation with no homework).

Directory:
If you would like to be included in the school directory or have your business advertised with other Glendale Prep businesses, the deadline for turning in the gold directory permission forms and directory advertising forms is Monday, August 31st. Forms are attached to this email and can be found on the website. Please place completed forms in the blue P.O. Box in the main office in the slot marked “All Other Forms.” Advertising checks can be attached, as well as any artwork.

Traffic: Thank you to our very dedicated traffic volunteers!  They have been working hard every morning and afternoon to enforce the drop off and pick up procedures set forth by Glendale Prep’s administration.  Keep up the great work parents; remember, our kids’ safety is the priority.

Booster Booth: On our next Half Day, Friday, September 4, Dusty Schollmeyer will be selling GP PO booster items on the lawn under the pop up tent.  If you would like to pick up some school spirit items, see her there.

Don’t forget to check our website regularly for notices and forms at: http://www.gpapo.org . This site is updated regularly and is a great place to gather information.  Copies of all forms can also be found in the school’s main office.

Sincerely,
Kendra Gould

***Please note the corrected date below for curriculum night, previously stated as the 24th, Curriculum Night will be Friday, August 28th. ****

Dear Glendale Prep Parents,

These are the upcoming events for the week of August 18th:

Restaurant Night: TONIGHT is our first restaurant night at Paradise Bakery Night from 5-9 p.m. Don’t forget: The grade that raises the most tips will earn a cookie party from Paradise Bakery! Come have dinner and get to know some of the other Glendale Prep families and teachers.

Calendar: It has come to our attention that some of the dates on the PO calendar (on the back of the welcome packet folders) are incorrect. One key discrepancy to note is that Curriculum Night will be held Friday, August 28, not September. 4. We have uploaded a revised version of the calendar onto the PO website. We apologize for any confusion.

Lunch Orders: The next lunch menu and order form is attached. You can also find it on the website. It is due with payment no later than Wednesday, August 26th.

Booster Booth: The PO will have booster items available after school on the next half-day, Friday, September 4th (note the revised date).

Carpooling: We are still collecting carpool interest forms, which can be found on the website.

Directory: The deadline for turning in directory permission forms and directory advertising forms is Monday, August 31st. Forms can be found on the website or at the PO area in the school office.

Traffic: Thank you to all our drivers for your patience this last week in the drop off/pick up lane as well as parking. Thank you also for your cooperation and patience with the traffic volunteers as they are directing traffic in a safe and efficient manner. Remember, they are there for the safety of your student and your vehicle and will try to move each of us through the line as quickly as possible.

Please check our website regularly for notices and forms. www.Gpapo.org. Information will be updated on Wednesdays.
