Illinois Text Messaging and Cell Phone Laws
In school zones, it is a statewide law that
unless the vehicle is parked in a parking
space, or a handsfree device is used, drivers
may not operate cell phones. This applies to
buses as well as any other vehicles operating within the
school zone. Fines for violation of Illinois cell phone law
start at $75. Illinoisʼs cell phone and texting laws are
considered “primary” laws. A primary law means that an
officer can pull you over for the offense without having to
witness some other violation. PLEASE DO NOT TALK
OR TEXT IN THE GLEN GROVE SCHOOL ZONE. IT
IS FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS.

Low Lunch Balance Reminders
•In order to ensure your child has access to the school lunch choices, it is
important to maintain a healthy lunch balance.
•Please know that you can check your childʼs balance at anytime by logging
into PowerSchool.
•In order to help parents keep track of those balances, automated email
reminders are sent when balances begin to get low. Letters are also sent
home with students with negative lunch balances on a daily basis.
•Those messages can sometimes go into your junk folder as they are seen
by many email systems as spam.
• Please keep an eye out for these reminders and if one does go into your junk folder, mark it as
safe to ensure future delivery of the messages.

From The Principal’s Desk
Dear Glen Grove Families,
Springtime is here, and besides warmer weather, beautiful blooms, and baseball’s first pitch, the season brings
those of us who work in schools a frenzied pace as we begin to formally plan for next year while continuing to
engage children in the important learning that must be mastered this year. As we look ahead to this final stretch –
hard to believe we’ve only nine weeks left – here are some things on which we will be focusing.
One of our most important responsibilities at the end of the school year is the important work of assigning students
to classes. It is the belief of Glenview District 34 and Glen Grove School that children receive the most benefit from
their educational experience when in a balanced classroom setting. The following criteria is influential in creating
this setting:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Classes will be balanced by gender across a grade level
Class size will be balanced across a grade level
Classes will be balanced by program needs
Classes will be balanced by academic abilities and achievement
Classes will be balanced by social-emotional needs
Classes will be balanced by student leadership skills, work habits, and general behavior
Part of the placement process entails eliciting parental input, as well. You will soon have the opportunity to provide
us with information that can inform classroom assignments by completing a Parent Input Form. Please use this
form to indicate factors you wish the Placement Team to consider when determining class assignments for your
child. Completing the input form is optional, as you may feel your child’s current teacher has enough information to
determine the best placement for your child. All students, with or without written parent input, will be given equal
time and consideration in the placement process. So, please look for detailed information regarding all
aspects of our placement process. This information, along with the Parent Input Form, will be going home
to second and third grade families on April 24. Creating smooth transitions for our students is one of our
primary goals, and careful, thoughtful attention to placement is one way to accomplish this.
We will also be gearing up for a second round of PARCC, the new State accountability assessment that replaces
the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT). As you may recall, PARCC designed its system to include multipart testing, with two required components: the Performance Based Assessment (PBA) and the End of Year
Assessment (EOY). The PBA was given in March, and the EOY must be administered in late spring, once 90% of
the school year has been completed. The EOY will be focused on “innovative, short-answer questions and items
to measure concepts and skills. Students will demonstrate comprehension of literary and informational texts and
give definitions of words based on their reading of texts, rather than on memorization. They will also show
understanding of mathematical concepts, procedures and short applications.” We will be administering the
PARCC to all of our third, fourth, and fifth graders between the dates of April 27 and May 1. Students will be taking
three separate assessments – two in mathematics and one in English language arts. Your child will only be testing
on specific dates and times during this window, so look for communications from teachers and/or teams for your
child’s testing schedule.
Spring assessments also include the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) measure of academic progress
that will occur between May 19 and May 29. This computerized assessment tool provides an individualized look at
your child’s development in reading, mathematics, and language usage. Please note that NWEA reports will be
sent home at the end of the school year, whereas PARCC results are not expected until the fall on next year.
Please remember that although academic assessment results are important to all of us, this data alone does not
capture all that makes up our school environment. Besides math and reading goals, we strive to nurture social and
emotional awareness and skills, as well. As the school year gets closer to ending, we will take some time to reflect
on the effectiveness of the Glen Grove Student Handbook in making behavior expectations explicit to all, and on
the self-reflection and problem-solving strategies we’ve used to help students make responsible decisions. Finally,
teachers piloting the Second Steps Program will evaluate its effectiveness in teaching students how to understand
and manage their emotions, control their reactions, and be aware of the feelings of others – aspects of children’s
development we try to foster as carefully and intentionally as their academic development.
Finally, I hope the themes of renewal, new beginnings, and optimism that characterize springtime surround you this
season and always!
Respectfully,
!

Physical Education News
Wow! We can’t believe that we are already in the third trimester. Just a few months of school left.
Our Jump Rope for Heart was a huge success. This year we raised a grand total of $18,201. This is the highest amount
that Glen Grove has ever donated to the American Heart Association, and we have been doing the Jump Rope for
Heart event since 2004. Thank you to all the families that donated and the students that participated in the Jump Rope
for Heart event.
In Physical Education class, we just finished up our gymnastics unit. Students used the skills they learned to put
together a routine that they performed for the teacher. Students’ gymnastics sheets are located on the student’s iPads,
if you are interested in seeing what skills they learned, what was in their routine, or what grade they received on their
routine.
After spring break, our upcoming units in PE will be Bowling and Dance. Students will work on the underhand
throwing/rolling motion while aiming at a target (bowling pins) in the bowling unit. In the Dance unit, students will be
working on following steps in rhythm while learning some line and folk dances. Weather permitting, we plan on going
outside for the following units: Ultimate Frisbee, Track and Field, Golf, and Kickball/Softball.
The American Heart Association offers information for living a healthy life. It is a program called My Life Check.
There are seven steps to living a healthy life. They are: get active, check your cholesterol, eat better, manage your

NEWS FROM THE LRC
We are getting ready for author Dan
Gutman’s visit on May 19th with some
exciting activities for the school. Each
Gutman book a student reads (any time
during this school year) earns him or her a
Gutman Gator Greenback. A Greenback allows the student
to enter a raffle. There is no limit to the number of times a
student can enter (unless he/she has read every book Dan
Gutman has written). Each grade level has a raffle box.
Students will be given the Greenback from their classroom
teacher and asked to deposit them in the grade level boxes
in the library. On Friday, May 16th Mrs. Funke will be
pulling the Gutman Gator Greenbacks at lunchtime in the
cafeteria for each grade level. Students whose names are
pulled will win signed books and posters.
The library is also having two essay contests. The
first is lunch with the author. Nine lucky students (three
from each grade level) will have the opportunity to eat
their lunch with Dan Gutman, the day he is visiting. The
second opportunity is a writers’ workshop with the author.
30 budding writers (10 from each grade level) will get to
learn from the New York best-seller author! Anyone can
write and submit an essay. All winning entries will be
chosen randomly. I am so excited about these special
events for our students.
We have two order forms: one for Mr. Gutman’s
books and the second for our t-shirt design contest. The
book order form is included in this newsletter (or with the
link above). It is due in the library by April 27th. The Book
Stall will be processing orders the day of the visit (May
19th) and students will take home the books then. Please
make sure to fill out the personalization line on the form.
If it is not filled out, books will just be signed. The second
order for the t-shirt design celebrating the visit will be due
by Friday, April 24th. It will be online at Custom Ink.
There will be a separate note coming home with the
details. If you don’t have Internet at home or want to pay
cash, please contact the library for a paper order form.
They are also due on April 24th.
A special thanks to Beth Engleman for designing
our Greenback slip and the wonderful display windows
next to both of the library doors; one celebrating Spring
and the other for our upcoming author visit. Come by at
open house and admire both!

Schools is 7:55 a.m.
That means that the buses will arrive at
school, for the most part, by 7:45 at which time
the bells ring and students will enter their

daily at this time about events during the day,
etc. It is very important for students to be on
time to facilitate the start of the day with the
knowledge and information to be successful.

Morning Arrival Procedures
Walkers coming from the
walking path west of the school
must follow the path around the
back of the building to the
playground area when arriving
prior to 7:45 a.m. Walkers arriving from the
neighborhoods to the east should proceed
directly to the playground using the paths on
the east side of the building, and walkers
should use the pathways on the west side of
the building. Bike rider must dismount their
bicycles once reaching school grounds and
walk their bicycles to the racks either in front of

may not arrive at school prior to 7:35 a.m.
There is no supervision before this time. At
7:35 a.m. Glen Grove Staff will supervise
children on the playground. Children should be
dressed appropriately to be outside if the wind
chill is above 10° F. Starting time at all
intermediate schools is 7:55 a.m. That means
that the buses will arrive at school, for the
most part, by 7:45 at which time the bells ring
and students will enter classes. Morning
announcements are made daily at this time
about events during the day, etc. It is very
important for students to be on time to facilitate
the start of the day with the knowledge and

Homework and Vacation
The following are the Extended Absence
Homework Policy guidelines that we have
put into place to provide the framework
for work that needs to be completed
because of an extended absence.
Strong school attendance is a critical
component to a student's success in school and
the importance of good attendance is constantly
stressed at Glen Grove. While we value the
experiences children receive from visiting other
places and spending time with family members
afar, it is strongly advised that families schedule
trips and vacations within school holiday periods,
so as not to impact a studentʼs attendance at
school.
If your child will be out of school for an extended
vacation, notify the teacher and the health office, in
writing, in advance of the absence. Homework or
make-up work is not provided in advance for
extended vacations. It is expected that your child
will keep a journal of the trip and complete an
independent reading log to be turned in upon his/
her return to school.
Please know that teachers will work to provide
some of the learning opportunities and work that
will be missed upon return. However, the teachers
are not able to recreate the classroom
environment, so please understand that there may
be experiences or learning situations that cannot
be recreated or adapted. Upon return, the
teachers will work to create manageable
assignments and deadlines for core assignments,
but it will be the studentʼs responsibility to make-up
the work.
Note: If a student experiences an extended
absence for medical reasons, there is the option to
pursue eligibility for homebound instruction during
that absence.
Important Car Pick-Up Information
If you are picking your student up in the car pick-up
lane, please remain in your vehicle until your child joins
you in your car. This lane is a designated pick-up/dropoff zone NOT to be used for long or short-term parking.
Consistently adhering to procedures for dropping-off
and picking-up children will help us meet our goal of
providing the safest most efficient environment during
Glen Grove Newsletter

Outdoor Recess Procedures
The benefits of an outdoor recess are many and
Glen Grove makes every effort to
see that all of our students go
outdoors every day. Children are
able to exercise, socialize and
experience a variety of activities
with friends and this all helps to
enhance their learning
experience. Starting the
afternoon after a time of fresh air
definitely improves learning, alertness and overall
productivity.
Please make sure your children are dressed
appropriately for outdoor play. In cold weather
boots, mittens or gloves, warm jackets, snow pants,
hats and scarves are a must. If your child wears
boots to school, please remember to send in shoes
for them to use during physical education. The wind
chill factor must be ten or below or it must be too
wet or raining before we cancel outdoor recess. The
children are out approximately 20 minutes. Please
note that children must wear coats if temperatures
are below 32°F.
We are often presented with requests for children to
remain indoors at recess, generally because of
allergies or as part of a recovery from illness. If it is
necessary for your child to be indoors at recess, a
note from the doctor will be required. We
appreciate your support and cooperation with our
recess procedure.
