(Updated 12/15/21) TSA/FBLA
In the last couple of weeks, TSA/FBLA has had an exciting week! On Thursday, December 2nd, TSA/FBLA members and other GHS students took a field trip to Convoy of Hope and helped volunteer to help those in need during the holiday season. We helped hundreds of people with the help of Glendale students and we could not thank each and every one of them enough for their community service! Also, this last week was the last week to register for any FBLA events of your choice, so we hope that all who were interested and wanted to compete were able to contact us and be registered. If anyone is interested in what TSA/FBLA is up to now and in the future, they are more than welcome to join us at our weekly meeting Thursday, after school, from 2:30-3:25 p.m. or join the zoom meeting they are more than welcome to. Here is our website to check us out anytime https://tinyurl.com/visitghstsafbla.

A+ Program Updates
The A+ Program provides scholarship funds for eligible graduates to attend most Missouri community colleges and technical schools. In addition, several four-year Missouri colleges and universities offer their own scholarship for A+ qualified students. Last year our A+ graduates could earn as much as $10,000 towards their college tuition and general fees.
Glendale makes the A+ program fun by providing promotional activities and events each school year. Each year we have around 50% of graduates qualify for the A+ program. For more information about the Glendale A+ Program, students can check out their A+ CANVAS course which lists A+ Program Resources, visit the A+ website or follow us on Twitter @glendaleAplus.

Students needing free food, hygiene and/or clothing supplies… GHS is proud to have The Branch Hygiene, Clothing, and Food Outreach Program inventory available to our students at no cost! Please see Mr. Faucher or Mrs. Patton for any needs.
Please check your student's grades for seated courses in eSchool. We will continue to post student grades in eSchool. It is vital that students start strong. Please check your student's grades online, and communicate with your student's teachers. Our goal is that all students are academically successful, please encourage your student to submit all assignments.
If your student is taking a LAUNCH course or is fully virtual, their grades will be kept updated in Canvas.
eSchool is where you see your students' grades (completed assignments) and Canvas is where you see what they are doing, and what they will be doing (current and future assignments and learning).
Grades & D/F Phone Calls
Grades in eSchool are the official grades for seated students. GHS will continue sending phone messages to the homes of students who have a D or F in any of their classes. If you haven't started checking eSchool grades please do so. If you receive the phone call please check eSchool to see what class(es) your student has the D/F. We also recommend you contact the teacher with questions, concerns, or you feel an error has been made.
For clarification, the report used to determine who receives these calls runs at 4:30 a.m.
the day you receive the call. It is possible teachers update grades during the course of the
day. Again, please check eSchool on a regular basis and direct questions to the teacher(s).
Academies Information
Glendale High School is in the fourth year of College and Career Academies. Three years ago we implemented the Freshman Academy Model. This year, the Freshman Academy work continues, and our sophomore, junior, and senior students are engaged in an Upper Academy. Glendale has three Academies, STEM Academy, Business and Law Academy, and Technology and Design Academy.
