Principal's Corner

Dear Glenridge Middle School Students, Families, and Staff,
Welcome back, Glenridge Lions! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful summer break and is ready for another year of learning, growth, and achievement.
This newsletter includes important information to help navigate the upcoming year and stay connected with the school community. You can find details about important dates, school policies, and exciting programs and events.
Glenridge Middle School has once again earned an "A" rating from the state of Florida! This accomplishment reflects the hard work and dedication of the students, teachers, staff, and the supportive parent community.
We are excited to welcome new members to the leadership team. Please welcome Mr. O'Donal, the new Dean, and Ms. Burchins, the new Testing Coordinator. Their expertise and passion for education are expected to be valuable assets to the school.
Glenridge Middle School is a place where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. The school is committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment, and values the strong partnership between the school and families. Let's work together to make this the most successful year yet for the Glenridge Lions!
Sincerely,
Principal Kempinger
