Hello everyone,
It is hard to believe, but there is only one month left in the school year! June is always a very busy month at Glenwood, so please scroll to the bottom of this post for some upcoming important dates.
Ms. Zhu’s Last day – Friday June 7th
Julie Zhu, the teacher-candidate from UBC, has successfully completed her short and long-term practicums with Division 2 this school year. Her last day at Glenwood will be on Friday, June 7th. We are so very happy for her and will miss her presence at our school. We wish Julie all the best in her future.
Bike to School Week – June 4-7
June 4-7 is Bike to School week! Students, parents, and staff are invited to participate this year by biking, scootering, or walking to school. This is a great time to explore different ways to actively travel to school. Students who ride their bikes or scooters to school can meet Ms. Pook at the exterior gym doors between 8:45 – 8:55 am. Ms. Pook will supervise as students place their bikes / scooters in the gym for safe storage during the school day. Students can retrieve their items from the school gym doors from 3:00 – 3:10 after school each afternoon.
*Please note, to accommodate the safe arrival and departure of students / staff to school this week, there will be some changes to the parking lot entrance / exit procedures. All changes will be communicated by Ms. Skuse via email.
June is Pride Month
Burnaby Schools celebrate diversity. We are proud to be a leader in creating inclusive, welcoming environments in our schools. We strive to provide engaging learning opportunities to inspire each child to reach their potential. We want all students to flourish and we have policies that support inclusivity. One of the ways we do this is by celebrating Pride Month.
As staff, its our job to ensure Burnaby Schools are friendly and safe learning environments, and the SOGI policy is a part of that. The District follows the curriculum for each grade level provided by the BC Ministry of Education. Throughout the school year, students experience lessons that promote understanding of the diverse society in which we live, and they learn to treat each other with dignity and respect, regardless of our differences.
