Utah Studies and US History

Welcome to Back to School Night at Glendale Middle School!  Students and parents can both use this website to see what happened in Mr. Shake's class each day.  Also, you can see what is coming up due in his class.  Finally, certain select assignments can be downloaded to your home computer and printed from your home (paper copies will also be provided in class).  This is useful in case a student forgets his/her homework at school and needs to work on it at home!
