(Updated 10/11/22) From GHS PTSA
The letter portion of our PTSA fundraiser is underway and we are kindly asking for your support here at Glendale. Our PTSA raises money to meet the needs of our teachers, staff and students that are not met through the regular school budget. Some examples of things PTSA has provided in the past are student seating, books, safety googles and music stands; funding for special student entrepreneur and spirit projects; and meals and gifts of appreciation for our teachers and staff. You should have received a mailing recently from the PTSA outlining two ways to give, either personally or as a business. Please consider giving what you can and show your support of our wonderful teachers, staff and students here at Glendale.
(Updated 10/05/22) Duel Credit/Dual Enrollment Scholarship Is Now Open
This program was changed significantly during the 2022 legislative session. It is no longer associated with the A+ Scholarship and financial need is now required for eligibility rather than being used to determine award ranking.
Beginning with the fall 2022 semester, high school students may be eligible to receive a scholarship that covers the tuition and fees for their dual credit or dual enrollment courses. To qualify, students must demonstrate financial need and be taking dual credit or dual enrollment courses from a Missouri college or university in addition to meeting the program’s eligibility criteria.
The application is available electronically through the State Financial Aid Portal for the 2022-2023 academic year. Students will be required to create an account in MDHEWD’s Student Portal to access the application. Information about the Student Portal is available here.

Student breakfasts and lunches have returned to our previous, before pandemic, pricing guidelines. All meals must be paid for according to your students’ status. Current prices are $1.60 full price breakfast, $.30 reduced, $3.20 lunch, $.40 reduced. We encourage all guardians to complete a free/reduced price application, if not already done so this year. Your student can request one at the main office, or at the cash registers during meal services. You can also apply online on the sps.org website following a link on the right side of the page entitled “free reduced meal application”. To prepay the meals, you can either send cash or check with your student, bring it in yourself, or add online on the mypaymentsplus.com website. Be aware the online option does charge a percentage fee based on the amount you add. You should have received a packet of information regarding all this before school started. There is a new policy in place, requiring Cafeteria managers to reach out via phone call daily to accounts that exceed charges of $5.00. We ask you either apply, or make payments on the delinquencies as soon as possible. If you have any more questions, you may call our Cafeteria Manager at (417) 523-8990.
