Student Withdrawal: As we prepare for the end of the 2009-2010 school year, we would like to remind you of the required procedure should your child not be returning to Glendale Prep next year. If you are planning on having your children attend a different school next year, you must complete a Withdrawal Form this Friday, May 28th (the last day of school) in the front office of the school. We need to have a withdrawal form on hand in order to provide the necessary paperwork, e.g. transcripts, to your children’s new schools. Unfortunately, we will not be able to have you fill out a Withdrawal Form before May 28th if your child is finishing this school year with us. If you have any questions please contact the front office at 623-889-0822.
Textbook Return: Students will be turning in their GP-issued textbooks after each final exam next week (Tuesday, May 25 – Thursday, May 27). Teachers will be assessing the condition of the returned books and submitting this information to the administration to determine the amount of credit owed to each family. Credit owed will be determined based on the book’s returned condition in comparison to its issued condition. Please see your Textbook Deposit receipt that you received at the Bookstore at the beginning of the year for more information or contact the office with any questions.
Families have three options in terms of processing their credit:
- Roll their credit over to next year’s textbook deposit
- Receive a check for the credit owed for their returned books
- Donate their credit to the school
If you would like to receive a check (option 2) or donate the credit to the school (option 3), please inform Mrs. Asuncion no later than 12:30 p.m. this Thursday (5/27) by phone (623-889-0822) or email (lasuncion@glendaleprep.org). Each family’s credit will be rolled over to their textbook deposit for next year unless requested otherwise by May 27.
Awards Ceremony & 8th Grade Promotion: We would like to invite all of our students and families to our closing assembly this Friday, May 28 to celebrate our students’ accomplishments this year and our 8th graders’ promotion into 9th grade. Due to space limitations in our facility, we will be holding two separate assemblies again this year. The first assembly will be for 6th and 7th grade students and their families at 6:00 p.m. and the second assembly will be for 8th through 10th grade students and their families at 7:00 p.m. Both assemblies will be held in the Sanctuary on campus.
To Note:
1. Awards – We will be honoring students with three types of awards again this year: the Griffin Award (for Athletics), the Sapientia Award (for Academics, awarded in each subject), and the Animus Magnus Award (for Character).
- Student Dress Code – The school’s semi-formal dress code will be in effect for the evening:
Ladies: Young ladies are to be in modest-length skirts or dresses (no shorter than the uniform skirt) and dress shoes. Bare midriffs are not acceptable; ladies may not wear strapless, spaghetti-strap, or tank tops.
Men: Young men are to be in dress slacks (no jeans or patched pocket pants), a dress shirt, tie, dress socks, and dress shoes.
Spirit Day: On the last day of school, this Friday, May 28, we will be holding a “Spirit Shirt Day” to celebrate all of the wonderful events, programs, and athletics from this year. In lieu of their uniforms, students may wear a purchased Glendale Prep T-shirt and jeans.
Next Year’s Books: We are close to finalizing our textbook and “Classics to Keep” booklists for each grade for the 2010-2011 school year. Our projected date for opening our online bookstore (through ESCO) and posting the booklists online (with ISBNs) is June 15. Check our website, www.glendaleprep.org, for more information at this time.

Griffin Goodbye: The PO will be hosting the 2nd Annual Griffin Goodbye – All students are invited to stay after school on Thursday, May 27th. We will be offering lunch and passing out the pre-purchased Yearbooks so the students can have their friends and teachers autograph. ***If you would like to help on this day, please contact Kendra Gould at president@glendalepreppo.org
Summer PO Meeting: We will be having a PO meeting June 10th (Thursday) evening at 7:00pm. We will be at the school in room 17. This will be an informal meeting as we discuss our plans for next year and begin getting organized for the year. Bring a snack to share if you would like and plan to meet some of the new families also.
Box Tops: We want to encourage you to continue collecting your “box tops” through the summer. It is amazing how these add up and we will be sending them in again in September. Don’t forget they aren’t just on food items, check the bottom of your “Kleenex” boxes and other sundry items. Thank you for supporting the PO and School in this way.
Used Uniforms: You can turn in your used uniforms on Thursday, May 27 or Friday, May 28 to receive credit for next years sale. See Mrs. Schollmeyer for details and questions.
8th Grade Promotion Dinner: Thank you to all the parents and student volunteers that made this an event to remember. These students will be practicing proper etiquette everywhere they go and making a great first impression at every meal.
Remember our website is updated weekly so check it often for changes and information.
Thanks for making our second year a great year,
