Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are 25% of our way through the school year. Much work is

being done to educate and prepare our students for being col-

lege and career-ready. In order to maintain this success and

momentum, we need your continued support. The connection

between home and school is essential and the key ingredient to

ensuring our students do well.

Parent-Teacher Conference are just around the corner and this

is a great time to speak with your child's teacher(s) to discuss

matters concerning your child's academic and behavioral stand-

ing. If you have not scheduled a time to meet with your child's teacher(s),

please contact him/her by calling the school at (419) 671-4600. Additional-

ly, as we continue to move forward this year, I want to encourage more

parents/guardians to participate in PTO and other volunteering opportuni-

ties. There are some great events coming up and parent/family nights

which could benefit all.

In closing, if you have any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesi-

tate to contact me. I may not always be available to speak to you immedi-

ately; however, I will do my best to return your phone call at my earliest

convenience.

Educationally Yours,

Dr. Michael Carr, Principal

This is a wonderful program that we have coming to Glenwood in November. If you have

not already signed a consent form for you 2nd or 6th grader, please do. The consent is

attached to this newsletter, and please return ASAP.

TLCHD Mobile School Based Eye Care Program Coming SOON!

Each year Glenwood is fortunate to be one of the schools chosen to host this vision

program again. An entire Vision Clinic with an Optometrist and an Optician needed, they

will bring them right to the school, and fix them or replace them if needed. They also have

a clinic Friday afternoons at the TLCHD, as well. The clinic would like to see all 4th graders,

this year. If your student has seen them before, or you think your child may be having vi-

sion problems, please fill out the consent form. All grades can be seen. Also, if your stu-

dent has been seen by them at a different school, they should continue on getting services

at Glenwood. The program is FREE TO YOU, but Insurance will be billed.

Medical Releases/Doctors Notes

If your child has been seen by a Dr/Specialist, Emergency Dept, etc., PLEASE bring

those reports to school. In order to help better care for your child, we need current medi-

cal info on diagnosis, treatment, and any restrictions; such as not able to play sports, etc.

Since P.E. is a graded class, students unable to participate need a written note of some

type by a Doctor. We also need Medical Releases, or written info from Dr. stating they are

OK to be in school, or OK to participate in P.E., etc. Also if your student has missed school

for a medical visit, that absence will be excused if you bring, (or have Dr. FAX) school an ex-

cuse. If your child will require medications, event over- the- counter meds, TPS requires a

signed Med Authorization Form from your Md.
