On Monday night, the registration link will appear on the web site (link above) and on our Facebook page.  Classes start Monday, September 21st. Registration instructions can be found here.

WE ALSO NEED NEW VOLUNTEERS ASAP!   Several of our amazing enrichment volunteers will be leaving us this year, so we are looking for and absolutely need several parents to join our team. If you are interested in joining our enrichment team and helping our robust program, please contact Glebe Enrichment at GlebeEnrichment@gmail.com.

We hope you enjoy the classes we have organized for you!

Glebe Directory Update

The Glebe PTA knows that being able to connect with other Glebe families will be particularly important

this year. We hope to be able to launch our 2020-2021 online directory during the first week of school. ParentVUE is now open for parents to complete the Annual Online Verification Process (AOVP). You must check your ParentVUE preferences and opt your children in to the Glebe PTA directory, if you would like to have access to the directory and have your children appear in it.

Questions? Email glebedirectory@gmail.com
