Sunday Greetings!
Bring it on—Week 6 is here! This week will be filled with rigorous lessons, innovative activities, and collaborative projects. We are also hoping that all 700+ Greenwood families will join our PTA and support our one and only fundraiser, the Greenwood Unity Drive. Your contributions make a huge impact by providing tutoring, enrichment opportunities, teacher support, school supplies, scholarships, school events, and so much more.

ParentSquare Reminders
Thank you, families, for using ParentSquare to read your child’s Friday communication. Please remember to respect our teachers’ office hours of 7 AM – 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Keep in mind that it is very difficult for teachers to respond to ParentSquare messages during the instructional day (7 AM – 2 PM), as their time is devoted to teaching, planning with teammates, or engaging in professional development with our instructional coaches. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as our teachers prioritize students during the school day. By working together, we can ensure strong communication and a balanced workload for our staff.
Field Trip Reminders
Thank you for sending in field trip money during the collection window. Processing payments on the day of a trip is very difficult for both teachers and the front office. We truly appreciate your help in meeting deadlines so our trips can run smoothly.
Early Dismissals
This past week, we noticed a high increase in early dismissals. Please remember that students are engaged in meaningful learning up until 2:00 PM, and leaving early causes them to miss valuable instruction.
Parents Eating Lunch with Students
Parents and family members are always welcome to attend lunch and eat with their child at the designated parent tables in the hallway. As a reminder, parents may not eat in the cafeteria with classmates, invite friends to the parent table, or accompany students back to the classroom after lunch, as teachers are actively engaged in instruction.
