Principal's Message
E.O. Green Junior High School Families,
We recently celebrated our third Professional Development Day, which was a wonderful opportunity for our dedicated staff to enhance their skills and strategies, ensuring that we continue to provide a high-quality education for all of our students.
November 8th marks the end of the first trimester, and report cards will be sent home on November 15. This is a significant milestone, as it gives us a chance to reflect on students' achievements and identify areas for continued growth as we move forward in the school year.
On November 11, we observe Veterans Day—a day dedicated to honoring the extraordinary sacrifices made by those who have served in our armed forces. Veterans have protected our freedoms, often facing incredible personal challenges, and this day gives our school community a chance to express our respect and gratitude to them.
November is also Military Family Month, which allows us to recognize and support the families of those who serve. Military families endure long separations, frequent relocations, and many sacrifices, all in support of our country. This month, we extend our appreciation to them, acknowledging the resilience and strength they demonstrate daily. It is a time to honor not just those in uniform but also the spouses, children, and families who stand alongside them.
Finally, as Thanksgiving approaches, please remember that our Thanksgiving break will be from November 25 through November 29. We hope this break provides time for all to relax, reflect, and spend meaningful time with loved ones.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support. We are grateful for the wonderful community we have and wish everyone a peaceful and restful holiday season ahead.
Warm regards,
Principal Sanchez
E.O. Green Junior High School
