Glenpool Upper Elementary
Tuesday will be a distance learning day.
Work packets were sent home last week. Please have students complete day #1 and return work to school the first day back. All work from day #1 must be completed to be counted “present" for Tuesday, Jan 27.
Glenpool Schools will be on a Distance Learning Day on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Students are responsible for work assigned by teachers. Participation (completion) equals attendance. Students, please complete every assignment.
Glenpool Schools will be out on a SNOW DAY Monday, Jan 25, 2026. This is not Distant Learning. Enjoy the day but be safe! Updates for Tuesday will be made when available.
Glenpool Upper Elementary Families,
Monday, January 26th will be a SNOW DAY, not a distance learning day. Keep those distance learning packets in the backpacks. No school work on Monday! Go enjoy the snow.
We ARE in session today -- normal hours, normal schedules, normal buses. (Friday, Jan 23, 2026)
Dear Upper Elementary Parents and Guardians,
As we head into the winter season, we want to ensure that our students’ learning remains consistent, even when the weather doesn't cooperate. To stay prepared for potential distance learning days for inclement weather, we are sending home Winter Weather Distance Learning Packets. Packets will come home with your student either today or tomorrow (Wednesday or Thursday). Winter Weather Distance Learning Packets are designed to keep our students engaged and learning from the safety of their homes if we are unable to meet in person and the district decides to move to distance learning for the day.
How it Works
Each student (Grades 1–4) will receive a packet containing 5 days of academic work. Teachers will add more days to the packet if needed through out the winter weather season. Please follow these guidelines to ensure your child is ready should a weather event cause us to move to distance learning:
* Please keep this packet in your child’s backpack. You will only need to take it out if there is a distance learning day due to inclement weather.
*A decision to move to distance learning will be made by the district office and communicated through social media, the district website, local television stations, and by sending out a notification through the school app.
*Your child will only complete a distance learning day from their packet if distance learning is called by the district.
* Attendance Matters: To be counted as "Present" for the distance learning day, students must return the completed assignments to their teacher when school resumes. Attendance will not be updated until we return from any winter weather event.
A Special Incentive
We hope for clear skies, but we want to reward those who stay prepared! If we do not use all of the days, any student who returns their unused packet pages (in clean, usable condition) just before Spring Break will receive a special prize for their responsibility and care. Keep these packets in backpacks, we may not need all of them for this round of weather, but may need them if another round of winter weather occurs.
Our goal is to make these transitions as smooth as possible for your family. If you have any questions regarding the assignments, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher.
Stay warm and stay safe!
Warm regards,
Kristy Roberts

Congratulations to Hollie Koehn, Glenpool School's Elementary Teacher of the Month for January 2026.
One of her colleagues writes, "Hollie is such a phenomenal colleague. She goes above and beyond to jump in wherever help is needed. She has subbed for classes during the first weeks of school, which are crucial for establishing routines and procedures. She is always willing to model effective mathematical strategies to new staff and works tirelessly to ensure that our students know that they can all be a "math person."
