Greenwood Families!
The official first day of school has been a HUGE success! We were so excited to finally have all of our Gators in the building today!
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
On-Time Arrival
Please plan for your student to arrive at school by 7:40 AM. We begin unloading cars in our car drop-off area at 7:10 AM. Arriving on time gives your student time to get settled, connect with classmates, and participate in important morning routines, community-building activities, and learning experiences. We want every Gator to have a positive start to their day!
Student IDs
Please make sure your student brings their ID to school every day. We had many students arrive without their IDs today, which caused our breakfast process to take much longer than expected. Having an ID allows us to move students through breakfast and other school processes efficiently so they can be in their classrooms with their classmates for morning announcements and our social-emotional learning from 7:45–8:00 AM.
Early Dismissal & Transportation Changes
As a reminder, we do not process early dismissals after 1:00 PM. This allows us to ensure every child gets home safely and helps our dismissal process run smoothly. If there are any changes to your child’s transportation, please contact the main office directly.
Please do not rely on your child’s teacher to receive the message. Teachers are teaching throughout the day and may not have immediate access to their computers or ParentSquare. The main office must be notified directly of all transportation changes.
Calling ALL Cheerleaders, Advanced Drummers, ORFF Musicians & Advanced Dancers!
We are excited to host tryouts for several of our Greenwood performance groups next week! These groups provide our Gators with opportunities to build confidence, develop their talents, work as a team, and represent Greenwood throughout the school year. These groups continue throughout the entire school year, so this is your opportunity to join now!

Friday, August 28: Morning Club Virtual Meeting @ 9:00 AM
Morning Clubs at Greenwood are a huge hit, and we want your family to be ready when club registration opens on Sunday, August 30 at 6:00 PM! Join us for a virtual morning chat to learn more about our
philosophy and how we have transformed morning arrival into an incredible experience for our students and staff. We’ll share more about our clubs, how they work, and how your family can make the most of this exciting Greenwood tradition!
Safety Drills
Now that we are fully back in school, we will be conducting several different safety drills over the next week and a half. These drills are an important part of keeping our students and staff prepared and safe. Be on the lookout for more information from our Associate Principal, Ms. Eberhard.
Supply Check
Our teachers and/or administration will reach out by the end of the week if your child still needs headphones and/or a green take-home folder. These items are important tools that help students stay organized and engaged throughout the school year.
We also hope you have sent in your family photo for the Belong Bulletin Board outside your child’s classroom! We love seeing our Greenwood families represented throughout our school.
Spirit Rock Reservations
We hope you have enjoyed seeing the Greenwood Spirit Rock! We still have many spots available for families to reserve and showcase their creativity. This is a great opportunity to send a special message to your child as they arrive at and/or leave campus. CLICK HERE to reserve the Spirit Rock
Thank you for helping us Win the Morning! When students arrive on time, come prepared, and know what to expect, we are able to create the positive, safe, and connected start to the day that every Gator deserves. We are off to a great start, and we are excited for an incredible year together!
