Glasgow Spelling Bee
 After 19 rounds of competition and 32 overall participants, congrats to Alex Price, winner of the Glasgow Spelling Bee and Aseil Ibrahim, who earned second place! The championship word was, “larboard.” However, to get to that level, students tackled words such as: klystron, cascabel, pinon, miscreant and chlorofluorocarbon. Special thanks to Dr. Anderson for coordinating the event, our Pronouncer, Kim Lanoue PTSA president at Justice HS, and our judges, Megan Vroman, Region 2 Assistant Superintendent, Leah Richardson, PTA president at Sleepy Hollow, and Tia Kminek, PTSA president at Poe Middle School. The winner of the Glasgow MS competition will participate in the Fairfax County Regional Spelling Bee Competition scheduled for Sunday, March 23, 2025, at 2:00 pm.

Mentoring at Glasgow!
We are excited to share this FCPS Mentoring Story featuring Glasgow Middle School!
All District X Middle School Band
Please join us in celebrating our 35 Glasgow students who participated in the All District X Middle School Band this past weekend! The students worked with acclaimed composer, JaRod Hall, to prepare a full concert in just 48 hours, receiving their music on Thursday night, performing it on Saturday. This event is a testament and celebration of their hard work and dedication.
Glasgow Course Selection
The course selection process for the 2025-2026 school year is underway! Counselors have started to meet with Rising 7th and 8th grade students to select courses for next year. Once students meet with counselors for advising, courses will be available for your preview in SIS ParentVue as well as SIS StudentVue by selecting “Course Request”. If changes need to be made after their academic advising meeting, please contact your child’s counselor. Students have until March 15th to make any requests for changes for the 2025-2026 school year.
Second Semester Schedules
The third quarter began on January 30th. This is the beginning of a new semester as well. Some students changed electives courses for the second semester. Students received new schedules on January 30th. Due to scheduling and staffing constraints, we are unable to accommodate change requests for second semester courses. If there is an error on your child’s schedule or you have questions about their schedule, please reach out to your child’s counselor. Thank you so much for your support.
