Things to Know:
GLO After-school at Sherman
GLO HISTORY -
In 1982, a group of working parents from West Portal
Elementary School who needed safe before and afterschool
programming established West Portal C.A.R.E., Inc. The
organization’s humble beginnings had less than 50
children enrolled. Over 20 years later, in August 2005,
the organization was renamed Growth & Learning
Opportunities (GLO). Growth & Learning Opportunities
maintains its private non-prot status and community
based family services. The organization operates six
licensed before and after-school programs located in San
Francisco public schools.
UNIQUE QUALITIES ABOUT GLO AT SHERMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL -
At all the schools GLO
is in partnership with, there is a long term commitment
from the organization. GLO’s partnership with Sherman
School has a goal to bring a quality afterschool program

provided by GLO in the Fall of 2010. For the next three
years, GLO will work diligently to create a strong
foundation for a sustainable program through joint
activities, special events, and partnership between the
GLO Director and SFUSD Excel Program Coordinator. The
process will ensure a respectful and culturally
competent program for children and families as well as

Pick up procedures on Union Street
If you pick your child up
on Union Street after school at 1:50pm, please
help the process along by following the rules
below:
The pick-up zone will now be about 100 feet past
the main entrance. Kids will be waiting along
the school wall. If you are driving to pick-up,
do not double park. If there is no space for you
to pull in and pick-up please go around the
block. If you do pull in and your child is not
yet outside, please go around the block so
another parent can pull in.
After pulling in to pick-up
your child do not check their homework or talk
to other parents. Seat belt your child and
leave.
If you walk to pick-up your
child and wish to talk to other parents after
picking up, please move to an uncongested area
of the sidewalk.
We have had complaints from
MUNI about double parking and our local police
officer has warned us as well. Following the
above process will help ensure that all of our
children are picked up in the fastest and safest
manner.
We apologize for any
inconvenience that circling around the block may
cause but that is the price we pay for having
our wonderful school on such a busy city street.
Other Safety Tips:
Please do not jaywalk with
your children across the street. Please cross the street at the proper crosswalks.
Please drop off your children at the curb.
If you are walking your child(ren) into the school, please do so via the Union Street entrance. Please avoid walking through the Green Street parking lots as it may not be safe with cars driving in and out of those lots.
Thank you!
