🏀⚾️ Staff Appreciation Week was a HOME RUN at Glenn! 🏈🎉

Last week, the Glenn PTO had so much fun celebrating our all-star teachers and staff with a sports-themed week full of food, treats, games, raffles, and fun! 💙

From Papa John’s pizza, Moe’s nacho catering, Krispy Kreme donuts, popcorn snack bars, dirty soda bars, concession snacks, raffles, games, and more - we loved spoiling the amazing team that supports our students every single day.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated, volunteered, decorated, and helped make the week possible. We truly have a championship staff at Glenn, and we are so grateful for all they do! 🏆✨

Unit 5 students will have a full day of school on Monday, April 27. This decision was made after consulting with the National Weather Service and local emergency management officials.
The expected weather forecast for today is as follows, according to information provided by the NWS in Lincoln:
First round of showers and storms expected to occur from about 10 a.m. through 1 p.m., producing scattered damaging winds and hail.
Second round of storms expected to begin developing near the Illinois River about 4 through 6 p.m., before moving east.
All severe weather threats for our area currently end by 9 p.m.
All field trips and outings for today are canceled.
There will be after-school care in the buildings, including Scribbles, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club @ PJHS, and Normal Parks and Recreation.
All other afternoon and evening activities are canceled, including practices, games, events, and building rentals.

Unit 5 is keeping a close eye on the weather and is aware of the potential for storms on Monday. Right now, it is still too early to know what, if anything, will impact our area.

We want to make families aware that an early dismissal is a possibility if conditions warrant. Nothing has been decided, but we want you to be prepared just in case.

We want to stress, no dismissal decisions have been made at this time; we will notify families in the morning, by 8:30 am.

We are canceling all elementary and junior high school field trips for Monday.

If Unit 5 were to release early, it would look different from our traditional early dismissal schedule.

Dismissal times would be:
Elementary schools: 1 p.m.
High schools: 1:48 p.m. (after sixth hour) / 2 p.m. (buses will depart)
Junior high schools: 2:15 p.m.
Early learning - Morning: 10:15 am (regular time)
Early learning - Afternoon: would not attend in person. Log into Teaching Strategies My Family portal.
Early learning - Full-day: 12:45 p.m.
There would be no after-school care in the buildings, including Scribbles, YMCA, and Normal Parks and Recreation. All afternoon activities would also be canceled, including practices, games, events, and building rentals.

Secondary schools will not have seventh and eighth hour classes. Staff members should stay through bus departure and then they can head home.

We’ll continue to monitor the forecast and will share updates as soon as we have them.
