Glenburnie Public School – September Newsletter
Dear Glenburnie Families,
What a wonderful beginning to the year! Thank you to our students, staff, families, and community partners for making the start-up so positive.
Communication is important to us—please connect with us anytime about your child’s learning and progress. Strong home-school partnerships help students thrive.
Welcome to Mrs. Crawford
Following our recent reorganization and the addition of a new classroom, we are very pleased to welcome Mrs. Emily Crawford to the Glenburnie team. Mrs. Crawford will be teaching our new Grade 5/6 class, and we know she will be a wonderful addition to our school community.
Focus on Learning
Our school improvement focus this year is Mathematics and Literacy (Language), aligned with Limestone’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan (2024–2028) and the Student Achievement Plan priorities:
- Achievement in core academic skills (literacy & math)
- Preparation for future success
- Student engagement & well-being—including belonging, consistent attendance/engagement, and time focused on learning
These priorities will guide instruction, assessment, and supports across our school.
Parking Lot & Student Safety
We kindly ask all families to use extra caution during arrival and dismissal. Please prioritize bus traffic and students/families walking in the lot. Only park in designated areas, avoid blocking bus lanes, and ensure children are accompanied while walking. Together, we can keep our school safe.
Safety Protocols
Over the next few weeks, we will be holding practice fire drills and lockdown procedures to ensure all students and staff are well prepared. These routines are an important part of maintaining a safe school environment.
School Advisory Council (SAC)
We would like to invite all parents and guardians to join us for our September SAC meeting on Monday, September 22nd at 6:00 pm in the school library. This is a great opportunity to get involved and contribute to the school community.
