GATOR BYTE - VOLUME 1 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2022
WELCOME TO THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR!

To Our Glenville Families, 

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! We hope that everyone had a terrific summer break and a successful first week of school. We are very excited to welcome so many new families to our community and thrilled to see our returning students!

We would also like to extend a giant thank you to Principal Monaco, Assistant Principal Oxer, and our incredible front office and custodial staff for their leadership and expertise in opening the school up safely and smoothly. We are very lucky to have you.

The PTA has already been hard at work planning your favorite fundraisers, exciting enrichment programs for your kids, and so many opportunities to gather our Glenville community together! None of this is possible without you!

Asking you to join the PTA isn’t just something we do every year, it is something we depend on, encourage, and don’t take for granted. We are continuously amazed by the level of Gator pride our community has. We invite you to visit our website at glenvilleschoolpta.org, where you can become a member of the PTA and have access to our online directory which is only available to PTA members. You can also purchase awesome Gator Gear, subscribe to the PTA calendars, and so much more.

Be sure to check out the Glenville PTA Executive Board here to see who your leadership team is this year. We are all here to help, so please feel free to reach out to the applicable department or email us at glenvillepta@gmail.com with any questions. 

Looking forward to an exciting year together!


Your PTA Co-Presidents,

Cate Elliott-Bocassi & Katie Bacon
