Spring is finally here, and as we move into April, we look forward to spending even more time exploring the outdoors. Embracing the beautiful weather allows children to learn, grow, and make exciting discoveries in their environment. To celebrate the season, we have planned engaging activities that connect with our recycling and gardening units, fostering hands-on learning, and a deeper appreciation for nature.

☔ Autism Awareness Day- Autism Awareness Day is on April 2nd, and to show our unity, we encourage everyone to wear blue on that day. We will commemorate the occasion on Friday, April 4th, with engaging activities designed to raise awareness and promote kindness as our students learn about the unique characteristics of individuals with Autism. Our staff is excited to lead a meaningful day of learning, awareness, and fun!

☔ Ridgewood Board Of Health Handwashing Program- The Village of Ridgewood Health Department will join us on April 8th & April 9th to facilitate a fun, educational activity on how germs spread and the importance of handwashing.

☔ Earth Day- As Earth Day approaches on April 22nd, we will celebrate and honor our planet with activities planned to raise awareness about environmental conservation such as recycling, outdoor clean-up, and planting. We encourage all students and staff to wear green to show their support.

☔ Book Fair- The HSA sponsored spring book fair will be held on Thursday, April 24th.

Hello Glen School Families,

As we welcome Spring and the warmer weather, please keep in mind that a lot of children will experience seasonal allergies. Sometimes, for the first time. If your child suffers from known allergy symptoms, and/or takes medication for allergies, please inform myself and your child's teacher. This helps us differentiate allergies vs illness since red/itchy eyes, sore throat, runny nose and fatigue can be symptoms of both. Feel free to call me with any health related questions or concerns.

Finally, the Glen HSA Board is looking for volunteers to fill Board seats for the 2025/2026 school year! Please email contact@glenhsa.org by Friday June 13 if you would like to volunteer or nominate someone. It’s a great way to get involved with student life and meet other parents and faculty at the school. We’ve had such fun serving as your Board this year (and a couple of us will still be on the Board next year!) and are happy to chat more about what the roles entail.
