Parents of students in extended day:
With the increase in snowfall and the worsening of road conditions, we are asking parents to pick students up as early as possible from extended day. Our goal is to try to get as many of our employees on the road home by 5:00.

Comment here, call the office or message the teacher and we will get the item to your child. All items will be donated after Christmas break.

Thank you Glenpool IHop for treating our staff to your wonderful pancakes!! We appreciate your support !!
We have our first OkMEA All-State band member in quite a few years so he deserves some recognition! Raul Peña made 6th chair trumpet in the top OkMEA All-State band, the Wind Symphony.
This is out of all schools in Oklahoma, and we are super proud of him for that!
Hello Lower Elementary Families,
We want to shower our teachers with love over the Holiday season with special snack days. If you can sign up for an item, we would appreciate it. Please bring the item to the front office at the lower elementary school before December 12th. If you would like to bring it in the morning and give it to the administration team at the front doors, that would be great, too. You can also stick it in your child's bag, but please let the teacher know what it is for. Thank you so much for always supporting our school.

Mrs. Smith's kindergarten class read "Balloons Over Broadway" this week and learned about the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Then, they made balloons of their own and had an amazing parade!
Thanksgiving Break Nov 25-29. There are no classes, and all offices are closed. Enjoy your time.
Master Gardners visited our kindergarten classes today to present "Worms' to the Wise." The students loved the hands on experience while learning why earthworms are important in the garden. They also learned about the worm's body parts and how to handle the worms in safe manner. Thank you Tulsa Master Gardners.

Glenpool's Support Employee of the Month is Logan Harris. Mr. Harris works at the Lower Elementary as a paraprofessional with our special education students.
His colleagues nominated him with these comments: Logan has become a valuable part of the Lower Elementary SPED department. His patience with students with special needs is commendable, and he truly has a heart for the students he serves. He has an amazing way of forming relationships with the students he serves, and the students genuinely love him.
The District's Elementary Teacher of the Month is Rachel Welch. Ms. Welch teaches in our STEM program.
A note from her colleagues: Rachel is always willing to take on any project and help in any way possible. She usually stays behind the scenes but does so much to provide support. She deserves some recognition for all of her endurance and fortitude. We always love it when she comes for STEM down at the lower for a nice break. The kids love to have that time, too, and always appreciate "Ms. Stem."
Help us congratulate Megan Moore as our District Secondary Teacher of the Month! Ms. Moore works with our high school special education students.
A comment from her colleagues: Megan has gone above and beyond in setting up the high school special education classroom. She has created a welcoming space for her students to feel safe. Her new teaching techniques have been fun, and the students love her style!!! Megan has worked extremely hard to make this start of the school year run smoothly with our students. We are blessed to have her at the high school.
Today GLE celebrated our top earners. Paxton and Cole got to be principal and assistant principal for the day. They did a great job and we are very proud of them. Way to go boys!
