Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District

Guest Reader and lunch guests for Star of the Week!

Gladbrook-Reinbeck CSD will be Closed Wednesday, March 5th, 2025. With an early out already scheduled for State Basketball and the impending weather that we are likely to receive tonight and into tomorrow morning, we have made the decision to cancel school and have a Virtual Learning Day. Based on the latest projection from the National Weather Service, the impact of this storm could last through the afternoon tomorrow with the possibility of still getting snow at 3:00 PM. The range of snow totals is anywhere from 1 to 4 inches depending on when the precipitation switches over from rain to snow throughout the night. The biggest issue that we will face is the wind. We are supposed to have wind gusts up to 60 mph (highest non-thunderstorm winds projected since December 15, 2021). The wind will lead to low visibility with potential white outs while the snow is falling. If you are planning to travel to Des Moines for the game, please use caution and be safe. From what I am gathering, once the snow stops, the blizzard warning will likely be lifted and winds are projected to start to taper off around 3:00 when they will start to drop to below 50 mph wind gusts. With school being canceled tomorrow, there will be no practices or youth activities. Looking forward to next week we will not have school on the 12th due to the Boys playing at 10:30 AM at Wells Fargo Event Center.

We had "GLOW" much fun, here's a few more pictures to share! ✨🎉

Rebel Nation, We have an update on the pep rally and departure time for girls state basketball. Due to the forecasted weather late Tuesday night into Wednesday, the Rebel girls basketball team and Rebel cheer will be departing for Des Moines at 3:30 PM on Tuesday. There will be a pep rally in the HS gym that staff, students, and fans are inviting to attend that will begin at 3:15 PM. Once the pep rally has concluded, our student-athletes will be leaving from the back of the HS and will be traveling the routes through Reinbeck and Gladbrook as previously mentioned while be escorted via firetruck. Come out and show your support tomorrow before the departure and let's go Rebels!

Do you have any stories about being told how awesome G-R is? Share in the comments below, I'll go first. This weekend, while getting gas in Waterloo, a man saw my husband had a G-R shirt on. He asked if he was from the G-R area. He informed us that he has been a ref for some of our basketball games and wanted to wish us luck at state, but on top of that he said, "G-R has some really great kids, they are nice to work with." Let's keep this going and share some GReat stories about our students and communities 💙 Share yours! 👇👇👇👇👇👇

RPOs: what a great offseason of workouts for our 40 kids who put in the extra work! We will have RPOs one time this week on Tuesday morning as HS track starts after school this week. The extra time off is well deserved to support our State Basketball Teams! #rebelnation
