Greenwood Elementary School

Morning club sign-up will open on Sunday, August 25 at 6 PM, and we anticipate that clubs will fill up quickly. To help you make an informed choice, a virtual morning club information meeting will be held at 6 PM on Wednesday, August 21. Morning clubs will run from September 3 to October 22, taking place from 7:20 - 7:45 AM. Students will have the option of getting breakfast after their club; however, it is highly recommended that students have breakfast at home before coming to school if they are participating in a club. Many clubs will feature competitions or performances, so be sure to read each description carefully. All clubs are free, with the exception of Advanced Dance and Advanced Drumline.

Starting your morning with a club is a great way to engage in fun, build skills, and connect with peers, setting a positive tone for the rest of the day. Please note that students will be removed from a morning club if they receive 6 or more X's on their Daily Report or one Tier 2/3 discipline referral. The purpose of our clubs is to foster a supportive and enriching environment where students can thrive both academically and socially.
