SchoolZone

This school year Glendale will be  on SchoolZone, an Edmonton Public School site to provide parents, students and teachers with secure access to school and student information.

SchoolZone allows students, parents and school staff to interact on a regular basis by sharing school news, assignments, attendance and homework via the Internet. Google Apps is now available to students and staff through SchoolZone.

Welcome to Glendale School for its 59^th year of educating the students of Edmonton’s west end.  I am excited to be working with the students and staff of Glendale.   I have been busy preparing for the school opening and new school year since I was appointed to the school back in June.  I am committed to working with teachers to provide the best education possible for all students.

Already staff have been working hard behind the scenes to prepare for the year.  Staff have developed a new vision statement for the year:

At Glendale school we foster positive relationships between students, parents and staff to help students be healthy and successful in their academic, social and emotional development.  Through the use of best practices in teaching and with the aid of technology, students will acquire the necessary skills to be 21^st century learners.

Staff will use this statement to guide their efforts and lessons for the year.  This will also provide a focal point for our professional development, as well as school resources.

In closing I would just like to thank you for entrusting us with your children this year.  We welcome the opportunity to teach your child(ren) and help them grow physically, emotionally, and academically.

Please feel free to contact me at the school should you have any questions or concerns regarding your child.

Regards,

Will Deys, Principal
