Fun Lunch on Monday is Subway
This is just a reminder that there is no school from Friday, April 7 - 16. School resumes on April 17.
April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day
Every April, Autism Speaks celebrates World Autism Month, beginning with the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April 2. This year marks the 16th annual World Autism Awareness Day.
Throughout the month, all are encouraged to increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism.
Whether you have autism, love someone who does or are looking to support a diverse, accepting and kind community – let’s stand together and pledge our support to make a world of difference by helping all people with autism reach their full potential.
Spring Photo Day is on April 6th. This is also the day we will be doing our class photos.
Grade 1 is in need of newspaper!
Our grade 1 classes have embarked on a building adventure and require newspaper. If you have any flyers or newspapers around the house, please send them in with your child. They can drop them off in the office and we will pass them along to our grade 1 classes.
E-waste collection at Glenbow
Mark your calendar! On April 25-26 during Earth Week, Grade 4 Leadership is organizing a school wide electronics collection event. The purpose is to learn how to properly recycle e-waste. We will collect and record only small personal devices such as iPads, phones, laptops, small monitors.
Please send in your old/unused small devices to school and we will recycle them with the help from Quantum Lifecycle Partners LP.
Happy e-waste recycling!
Glenbow School Playground Fundraising
Glenbow School Council and Friends of Glenbow Education Society are in the process of raising the funds to build a new, fully inclusive and accessible, state of the art playground and outdoor classroom/learning space at Glenbow School.
Our goal is to raise $500,000 through fundraising, grants and donations by 2025. We are asking for the help of parents of Glenbow to spread the word and help us make this playground a success. If you work for a company or know of a company who would be interested in donating please send me an email at glenbow-schoolcouncil@rvschools.ab.ca. Glenbow School is an amazing community and we are grateful for all your support.

Are you interested in being a volunteer reader?
We are looking for reading volunteers at Glenbow School! If you or a family member are interested in helping children to develop a love of reading, please reach out to our Assistant Principal, Mme Sarah, at scaldwell@rockyview.ab.ca. Volunteering to read with students is a great way to connect with our community and get to know our school outside of your child’s classroom.
We are a Nut Aware and Scent Free school. This means we want to ensure that all lunch and snacks do not contain nuts. We have a number of students with life threatening allergies. This includes things like Nutella and Peanut Butter. We also have students and staff with severe allergies to scents. Please do not wear any perfumes or colognes if you are volunteering in the school. Thanks for your understanding.
Please Drive Slowly in the School Zone!
As we get back to school, please ensure you are driving slowly through the school zone around Glenbow. We want to ensure all students get to and from school safely each day!
No Parking or Walking in the Staff Parking Lot
This is a reminder that there is no parking in the staff parking lot before/after school.
We also ask that you do not walk through the parking lot at anytime. It is a busy spot and we do not want anyone getting hurt.
Thanks for you cooperation.
