Save the Dates!

Letters are being mailed home to those students invited to Night of the Stars! Night of the Stars is an annual event at Glenview where we have previously honored students for their academic achievements throughout the school year. This tradition will continue for our 7th and 8th graders as they are still on a traditional grading scale.

However, with EMSD's transition to Standards Based Grading these nights will look a little bit different for our 5th and 6th grade students. Rather than giving awards solely based on traditional grades, our teachers have nominated students for various awards. Students in 5th and 6th grade who have been nominated for an award will receive a letter home inviting them to the evening. We look forward to seeing many of you at these special nights!
