Sunday Greetings!
The last week of 2024 is going to be the best week of the year! Thank you for ensuring your child is at school and on time to be part of this magical experience. This week is filled with joy, creativity, and lasting memories that your child won’t want to miss.
Congratulations
Huge congratulations to Mrs. Earl, Mr. Miles, and Mrs. Barlett on completing their National Board Certification! This incredible accomplishment reflects their unwavering dedication to personal and professional growth. The magic at Greenwood happens because of our amazing staff, who continuously strive for excellence to inspire and support our students every day. Let’s celebrate their hard work and commitment to making a difference!
Winter Party Reminders
Thank you, room parents, for sending your communications to your homerooms last week. We’ve noticed many classrooms are planning fun crafts, rotating through games, or even enjoying a cozy winter movie. Thank you, families, for supporting the room parents by sending in snacks and drinks to make this occasion extra special for our students. If you have any questions about how you can support your child’s winter party on December 20, please contact your child’s teacher directly.
Holiday Thanks
We wanted to take a moment to thank our families for using this week to show appreciation for our incredible staff, who pour their hard work and love into every student. A heartfelt note or small token of gratitude can go a long way in reminding our team how much their dedication means to our community. By encouraging this tradition of appreciation, we teach our children the value of kindness and gratitude, creating a positive and uplifting school culture.
Home Connection Glow Report
Your partnership is essential in helping us reach our academic goals for the school year. We appreciate you taking the time to complete the 2nd Quarter Glow Report with your child and returning it to school before December 19. These Glow Reports will be a key part of your child’s Student-Led Conference portfolio at the end of the year, showcasing their growth and achievements. Completing this together also allows you to have meaningful conversations about their progress, fostering a deeper connection to their learning journey.
