What Makes Our School Unique?
Our excellent faculty and facilities provide every opportunity for all students to learn in a safe and orderly environment. The staff of Glenn is committed to helping all students achieve high levels of academic performance while fostering positive growth in social and emotional behaviors and attitudes. We readily accept the responsibility to teach all students to read, write and do math at grade level while building lifelong learning skills. From our library, computer technology center, fine arts classes, Encore and classrooms, children will be guided through rich and varied educational opportunities.
Parents play a vital and important role in helping Glenn achieve success for students. We believe parents are the child’s first and most important teachers. Parents are always welcomed and encouraged to become actively involved in the Glenn learning experience by understanding and supporting the school’s mission and school goals. Working together, we will make a difference for our children as the school and family become active partners in education.
