A Note From Headmaster

Hello Parents,

Today was an early release day for the students, and a faculty seminar day for teachers and staff. We shared a meal provided by the PSO and spent ninety minutes discussing My Name is Asher Lev. On Wednesday, when I was half-way through the assigned reading, I was discussing the story with Ms. Wegener. What became clear was her use of describing the work as “real”. My Name is Asher Lev tells the coming-of-age story of a young Jewish boy, who sees the world as it is but also as he imagines it to be. We see so much suffering in this story; I described it as “heavy”, but I do believe it is “real”. Our time in faculty seminar is life-giving; it is living out our calling as life-long learners. It is part of our culture and what makes our school truly wonderful. Again, thank you for partnering with us to provide a worthwhile experience for our students but also for our teachers.

Sincerely,

Mr. Navarrette

COVID Prevention
Please keep students home at the onset of anyone living in the home exhibiting COVID-like symptoms. This will help keep teachers and students in class and our campus running.

Call or email the attendance line, and students will be marked COVID Quarantine Excused Absence as long as details are left in the message so the office can excuse the absence. Email attendance@glendaleprep.org [10] or call 623-889-0822 ext. 4.

Quarter 3 Deficiency Notices
If your student receives a Deficiency Notice, please talk it over with your child so a plan of action can be put into place for future success. Students are encouraged to reach out to their teachers to follow up with a plan to improve. Teachers are always available to help students during tutoring hours [11].

Re-Enrollment
Re-enrollment is coming! This will be the time to indicate your intent to return to Glendale Prep and secure your child’s seat for the 2021-2022 school year. Emails for current 6th-11th graders will be sent out the week of March 1st from the Great Hearts’ lead office. More information coming soon!
