GLENDORA DROPOFF/PICKUP TRAFFIC SAFETY REMINDER
This week on our inclement weather days, we have had an increase in the number of cars traveling the wrong direction on Huntington Ave. We are reminding all families that for the safety of our Glendora School Community, all vehicle traffic should proceed down Huntington Ave. from Austin Ave. heading towards Station Ave. for dropoff and pickup. Please do not enter Huntington Ave. from the opposite direction and park or attempt a U-turn to go the correct direction. The goal of this traffic pattern is to keep everyone safe in the morning and afternoon during high volume traffic times. It also keeps the flow of traffic moving in the same direction which allows for vehicles to depart faster. Please make any family members who may drive your child to or from school aware of this expectation. Thank you for your support in ensuring the safety of our Glendora Family.

Tech-Tastic Tips for the Holiday Season
The holiday season sees many young people creating wishlists filled with tech-related gifts like smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles; however, it's still important to maintain their online safety and digital wellness despite the festive excitement.
Use relaxed holiday downtime to bond with your child over tech activities, understand their online experiences, and balance screen time with tech-free activities.
