Open House - August 29th, 2013

Parents/Students,

Two important events are happening on August 29, 2013.

First, our "6th Grade and New Student Orientation" will occur from 8:30-10:30 am.  This is for all the new 6th grade students as well as any new 7th and 8th grade students that are new to Glasgow this year.  The teachers will be on hand to help direct the students to their classes, and where they need to be in the building.  This is very beneficial, as it will help the students become familiar on where they will find their classes when school starts Tuesday, September 3, 2013.

Later that day, in the afternoon from 3 pm to 6 pm, we will hold our Glasgow Middle School "Open House."  This will give all students (and their parents), new and returning, the opportunity to come pick up their packets (which will contain important information, and important forms to complete) and tour the building.

We will also be selling Physical Education Uniforms at that time.  They will only be sold from 3-5 pm. The uniforms will be sold inside the gym.  Check and cash will be accepted.  Sorry, no credit or debit cards.  The Physical Education department will start selling uniforms at 3 pm.  You will find an order form for uniforms inside of the packet you will receive. The uniform will be a cotton t-shirt and mini-mesh shorts. Furthermore, should you need any more uniforms at any time during the school year, the order form is posted in the Health & Physical Education section of the school website.  If you have any questions regarding uniforms or any other concerns, the Physical Education department will be there, and will have teachers from all grades on hand.

We hope you've enjoyed your summer, and look forward to seeing you on Thursday, and then again to start school on September 3rd!

Thank You!
