Thank you to Ryan Cundall and his family for designing, arranging and installing this new stainless steel counter top with backsplash.

It is so nice and shiny and it was easy to say goodbye to the grimy old sink and paint covered counter top. Glenwood Art teacher, Dawn King

Glenwood students who took the MAP test last spring will be bringing home a copy of their individual results today! The 2018 MAP test was totally new to the state of Missouri and will not translate well for year over year comparison. State-wide scores are not yet available. Annual Performance Report (APR) scores will likely not be made available by the state until February 2019. We are cautiously optimistic that our overall scores are improved over the past few years! If you have questions about your student's scores, feel free to contact us!
