Open house information for Glen Avenue Elementary, our partner school, Charles H. Chipman Elementary, and Wicomico County Public Schools:
Glen Avenue Elementary: Glen Avenue Elementary staff members are excited to welcome our scholars and families to the start of a wonderful school year. Based on parent and guardian feedback, we are again partnering with Charles H. Chipman Elementary to host a joint Open House Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 5-7 p.m. at the Lake Street Park (across from Chipman). Glen Avenue families should contact Mrs. Beebe (kbeebe@mywcps.org) about the Open House. Scholars will enjoy socializing with peers and meeting their teachers, as well as the returning leadership team of Principal Michele McGoogan, Assistant Principal Twynette Binns and Dean of Students Hannah Parr. We are looking forward to seeing you and your scholar. There is no school supply list; thanks to Title 1 funds, we will once again be providing our scholars with all school supplies so parents can focus on preparing their students with school clothing as we did for the past two years.
