Greystone News

The PTA is gearing up for their biggest fundraiser of the year. Leave a Legacy is an opportunity for your family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, etc. to make a donation to the Greystone PTA. This donation contributes to all of the wonderful things that our PTA does to support our school, our students, and our teachers. We could not do all the amazing things that we do without this support.

I encourage you to involve your student in this by not only participating in the dress up days, but by giving your student a chance to do some chores to earn money that can be donated. We want our students invested in helping the school and are rewarded by the grade level prizes.

Click here for details about prizes, ways to donate, and information about purchasing tickets for a chance to play a game of skill to win a special prize.

Be on the lookout Monday - Thursday night as there will be a special story posted in your student's Google Classroom. Your student's teacher will provide more information about this.

Thank you for helping make Greystone Elementary the "GREATEST SCHOOL ON EARTH"!!!

Parents, please note the following...

1. TRANSPORTATION CHANGES are only accepted with a written note! We do not accept changes via email or Parent Square. In case of an emergency change, please call the school and speak to an administrator or her designee.

2. EXCUSE NOTES must include a parent signature that is NOT electronic as well as the date and reason of the absence. A reply to the Parent Square notice is NOT an acceptable means of turning in an excuse. You may hand write a note, take a picture of the note, and email it to the teacher OR send a hand written note when your child returns. ALL absences are considered unexcused until we receive the proper documentation within 3 days.

Thanks for helping us with these items.
