Back-to-School Red Carpet Welcome
GLENDALE, CA – On Wednesday, August 21, Glendale Unified School District is literally rolling out the red carpet to create an unforgettable first day experience for students. Every school in Glendale Unified will have a red carpet at their main entrance to welcome students and families back for the 2019-20 school year.
Glendale Unified alumni and community leaders have been invited to join administrators, teachers, and staff at their back-to-school red carpet celebrations. School celebrations begin 30 minutes before each schools’ scheduled start time and end when the school bell rings.
“Learning is a celebration! Our students should feel motivated and inspired to achieve their aspirational goals from the moment they set foot on our campuses,” said Glendale Unified Superintendent Vivian Ekchian. “We want our students and graduates to know that our teachers, staff, and community leaders are celebrating and supporting them every step of the way."
