🎉 Exciting News! 🎉
We're thrilled to announce that Northeast Elementary has received the prestigious national model school status from Solution Tree! 🌟 Just over a month after being recognized as part of a national model PLC district award, Northeast Elementary has now added another prestigious milestone.
Northeast Elementary is one of only 16 elementary schools in Iowa to ever earn this incredible honor. But that’s not all – they are believed to be the ONLY PK-2 school in the state to receive this recognition! 🏅
To garner such an award, the school must have sustained academic growth in all grade levels for three consecutive years while demonstrating the principles of designing and implementing priority learning outcomes, common assessments, intervention, and enrichment for all students. 📈📚
A huge congratulations to Principal Salazar, Assistant Principal McMullen, the Building Guiding Coalition Team, and all the teachers and staff at Northeast for their dedication and hard work. This achievement reflects their unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and the exceptional dedication of our entire community. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
💙📚✨
This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember

Glenwood is a National Model PLC At Work District! Wanna know more about what that means? Yesterday we dropped an episode of the Podcast that focuses on just that. Check out why it is good to be a Glenwood Ram!
Earlier this Spring, several of our Instructional Coaches, ESP Teachers (Education Support Professionals), and Administrators participated in the CEC- Council for Exceptional Children National Convention in San Antonio, Texas. At the convention, our Glenwood Team, comprised of Megan Wake, Julie Mullen, Tami Bertini, and Cindy Menendez, delivered a presentation titled "Better Together: Fostering Collective Efficacy in Special Education Through Instructional Coaching." The conference primarily focused on two key areas: inclusive leadership and mental health. Each year, the CEC Convention & Expo brings together thousands of special education professionals from across the globe for learning, sharing, and networking. With an extensive array of sessions covering various topics in the field, this event stands out as the premier professional development opportunity for special educators seeking practical research, tips, and strategies applicable to supporting students with disabilities and/or exceptional talents. The convention boasted over 4,000 attendees, including teachers, administrators, professors, students, and para-educators, all eager to engage with the 500+ sessions and 2 keynote presentations offered.
🌟 Happy National Principals Day to our Glenwood leaders who inspire, guide, and shape our schools every day! 🏫✨ Thank you for your dedication to education and for creating environments where students thrive. #NationalPrincipalsDay #LeadershipMatters 🎓
