Good evening, Marlow families!

We are one week away from the first day of school! Who’s excited? I am, that’s for sure. I hope everyone takes advantage of the last week of summer, gets lots of rest, and get prepared for a great first week. Our teachers and staff will be working hard all this week to prepare their classrooms, lesson plans, and activities. We are looking forward to a great year!

In this week’s Marlow Monday Edition:

  • Kindergarten Orientation and Meet the Teacher

    • Kindergarten Orientation and Meet the Teacher will begin at 1pm for Thursday, August 25th.
    • Kindergarten Orientation for all our newest KI Buckaroos will begin at 1 pm in the Media Center. There, parents will learn about “A Day in the Life” of a Marlow Kindergarten student, be able to meet their child’s teacher and see their room, get a tour of the school, have a Q & A with school administration, get bus information, and PSAM/PSPM information. There will be a whole group session first with a presentation from our KI teachers, and then we will break into smaller groups for the remaining parts.
    • “Meet the Teacher” for Grades 1-5 will be from 4pm – 6pm on Thursday, August 25th.
    • Just like our KI families, bus information, PSAM/PSPM information, as well as some community outreach information will be available.
    • “Blaze,” our beloved mascot, will also be in attendance! Catch up with Blaze for quick pic!
    • To top it off, Pelican’s SnoBalls will be on site, located at our new picnic shelter down by the cafeteria, selling snow cones! After visiting your classroom, come on down to get a sweet treat from Pelicans!
  • How do you find out your child’s teacher for 2022-2023?

    • Class lists will be sent via email to parents on Tuesday, August 23rd @ 6:30pm. Please be sure to check your Spam folder if it does not originally appear in your Inbox. If you do not receive an email on Tuesday evening, please call the school Wednesday morning, and we will let you know. We want to be sure we have everyone’s correct information in our PowerSchool system.
  • A Message from our Marlow PTO

    • The Glenn C. Marlow PTO welcomes all kindergarten and other new parents to the BooHoo/Yahoo! Breakfast on Wednesday August 31st, starting at approximately 8:15am in the cafeteria. Sign in at the office and then join us for coffee and treats (and tissues if needed), learn about the PTO, meet other kindergarten and new parents, ask questions you may have about PTO or general questions about the school/kindergarten. We hope to see you there!

  • 2022 – 2023 Breakfast/Lunch Prices

    • As you may know, the Universal Free School Lunch program ended in August 2022, and for the 2022 – 2023 school year, school lunch prices will be the following:
      • K-5 Lunch: $3.50
      • K-12 Breakfast: $1.75
    • All students will be receiving a paper copy of the meal benefits application the first week of school. Families can also apply online at the Free Lunch Application website.
    • I encourage all of our families to apply for meal benefits, as your acceptance into this program helps you and provides federal dollars directly to Glenn Marlow Elementary School to help pay for teachers, tutors, and additional resources. If you have any questions, please contact the HCPS Child Nutrition Dept at (828) 891-6310
  • Morning Car Rider Line Help!

    • We are always in need of volunteers (both Moms and Dads) to help us with morning car rider line, ensuring that students get out of their car in a safe and timely manner, keeping the line running smoothly.
    • If you are interested in helping out, send me an email at jehart@hcpsnc.org, or, just show up and help out. We have a lot of fun!
