Dear Glenwood Families,

Welcome to Glenwood Elementary School! 

It is my honor and privilege to serve as the principal of such a vibrant, caring, and dedicated learning community. At Glenwood, we believe that every child has the potential to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, and we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where all students can succeed.

Our passionate staff works collaboratively to inspire a love of learning, foster creativity, and build strong character. We value partnerships with families and the wider community, knowing that together we can support our students to reach their highest potential.

Whether you're a new family joining us for the first time or a long-time member of our school community, we are excited to partner with you on this journey. I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, events, and the many opportunities available to students at Glenwood.
