Hello Glen Families,

Conference Scheduling Update:
For the November 13th parent-teacher conferences, if your child’s teacher requested two or more 10-minute time slots, please schedule them back-to-back by slightly modifying your child’s name on the second slot (for example: “Billy” and “Billy 2”).

Thank you,
Mr. Roth

Dear Glen Families,

As some of you may have seen, the HHS Pep Club and Howland Tiger Booster Club are teaming up to “Turn the Stadium Pink” for the Varsity Football Pink Out Game this Friday, October 24th. In a show of support, I am encouraging all staff and students to wear something pink this Friday! Let’s fill the halls with pink and show our support for breast cancer awareness. Thank you!

💰 Fiscal Friday💰

Rising property taxes aren’t just a local issue. They’re the result of state funding changes that shifted the burden onto communities like ours. Our new graphic breaks down school and community funding, what it means for our services, and how we can move forward together.
