We hope to see everyone tonight from 6-8pm for our Harvest Fest and Trunk or Treat. Thanks to all who volunteered to help, host trunks, and donated candy & raffle prizes! Please check the lost and found tonight - our collection of sweatshirts continues to grow. At the end of next week, we will be donating items that are still in the lost & found that have not been claimed.

Please note that the sign up for conferences will close tonight. After this, you will need to schedule your conference with your teacher directly. Greenwood is so excited to share the amazing things your students have been doing in school and provide information for how to help your student at home. Also, remember that next week we will have half days on Thursday & Friday for conferences.

Have a wonderful weekend!

In partnership,

Reba McNally, Greenwood Principal

Our brand new media center is up and running! We are thrilled to host our first book fair in the new space. Flyers went home last week in student folders with more information about shopping times from Ms. Beth who has been working hard to get things ready. The link below is another way you can preview what they might find interesting for purchase at our book fair. The book fair will be open to students during their class shopping time and during conferences for families to shop. Please do not send your student to shop during their conference but instead go before or after your conference to supervise and shop with them.

Help Mrs. Lutomski and Mrs. Sobczyk win their teacher grants to help our Greenwood students grow through getting new books! You can vote up to 5x per day! See flyer below and use buttons to vote. Vote for both and as many times as you can. Thanks!

Please help us find the homes of all of these items! Sweatshirts, water bottles, and more! You can remind your student to look during their lunch or come in before or after school.

I’m excited to share that students can now apply to be the "masked mascot"! This opportunity is for students who demonstrate exemplary behavior reflecting our values of safety, responsibility, and respect. Those selected will dress as our mascot, with this fun event taking place monthly at the start of the school day.

To apply, students will need references from both a parent and a teacher. Applications will be available in the main office or in your child’s classroom beginning next week. Please remember that if your child applies and is not selected, I will keep their application on file for future consideration.

The selected student each month will be revealed on our broadcast, where we will also share the reasons for their selection. Attached is the application so you can see the process.

Thank you for encouraging your child to embody our core values, and I look forward to seeing who will take on this exciting role!

This calendar has all of the fun things your donations to the Fun Run sponsor! We are ready for a fun year. Also note the PTO meeting dates that are held here at Greenwood. Every parent is welcome!

Below is an outline of our new entry procedures for the all Lakeview buildings districtwide, which will take effect on the first day of school (August 26th). These updates are being implemented to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

New Procedures:

• Entry: To maintain security, no adult can enter the main office without an appointment or scheduled event. Families must remain outside and show their IDs to the camera for the secretaries to verify via PowerSchool records.

• QR Code: A QR code will be posted with information about specific situations or scenarios. When scanned, the QR code will direct you to a form, which will be reviewed promptly, and an appointment will be created if needed.

• Student Early Pick-Up: If you need to pick up your student(s) early, please come to the main office and show your ID through the camera at the entrance. You’ll then wait outside for your student to be dismissed. The secretaries will document the pick-up, including the reason and time.

• Dropping Off Items: If you need to drop off something for your student(s), a green cart will be available in the vestibule. This is where you can leave items like lunches, gym shoes, etc. We will provide markers and masking tape so you can label the item.

• Scheduled Meetings: If you have a scheduled meeting, Mrs. Dani will confirm your appointment via our speaker system and check that it is on the schedule. Feel free to call ahead to confirm or schedule an appointment.

As we implement these new procedures, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding. Our priority is to keep the building safe while ensuring you have a positive experience at Greenwood. These measures are designed to minimize variables and enhance the security of our school community. Thank you for your cooperation!

All students have access to free breakfast and lunch, every day! Breakfast will open at 7:45am in the cafeteria before school begins each day. Please have your student in line by 7:55 if they are having school breakfast. Students should enter through the 5th grade entrance on the above map for breakfast.

Our PTO at Greenwood hosts many amazing events throughout the year! If you think that you will ever be interested in volunteering, please fill out the volunteer consent form below and return to the main office at the start of the school year. This consents a background check. A cleared background check is required to volunteer for events, field trips, assemblies, etc. It is best to have one on file just in case! This must be completed every school year.
