Glenbrook South's School Resource Officer, Officer Uscicki, has an important reminder for all drivers on the GBS campus. As the weather gets warmer, we want all of our student drivers to be safe by slowing down and watching for pedestrians. Many of our students walk or bike to and from school, and that number will only increase as the summer approaches. Slow down and be aware! Take care of your fellow classmates and community members. Thank you!
