Elementary Edition
June 2024
Dear Elementary Families,
Thank you to our parent volunteers for Field Day on June 20th! You should receive a description and map of events for your volunteer location on that day. We look forward to seeing you then!
My knee recovery process has gone well, and I anticipate returning to work on June 12th. I look forward to ending the year with our students, families, staff, Mrs. Manning, and Miss Herbst. We are fortunate to have a supportive school and community!
Sincerely,
Jennie Mueller
The Greenwich Elementary School is excited to announce its upcoming Flag Day ceremony. Flag Day is an important day to celebrate what makes our country great. The students will be singing patriotic songs and wearing red, white, and blue. The winner of the 6th Grade essay contest will be sharing the winning essay on the importance of honoring our country’s flag. Several area groups have been invited to participate in our ceremony including the VFW, the American Legion, and the Ladies Auxiliary. We encourage all area veterans to attend so that we may thank them for their service to our country. The ceremony will take place outside in the Primary circle at 9:00 am on Friday, June 14th. It is going to be a wonderful ceremony. We look forward to seeing you there!

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s)of incoming Pre-K, CURRENT Pre-K, K, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th graders
New York State law requires a health examination for all students entering the school district for the first time and when entering Pre-K or K, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th grades. The examination must be completed by a New York State licensed physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner on the NYS-approved physical form. Health record forms can be accepted by schools for student physicals conducted on or after September 5, 2023.
The school will provide you with a list of dentists and registered dental hygienists who offer dental services on a free or reduced-cost basis if you ask for it.
A copy of the health examination must be provided to the school within 30 days from when your child first starts at the school, and when your child starts Pre-K or K, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th grades. If a copy is not given to the school within 30 days, the school will contact you.
If your child has an appointment for an exam during this school year that is after the first 30 days of school, please notify the Health Office of the date.
For your convenience, a physical exam form and dental certificate for your healthcare providers are enclosed.
Communication between private and school health staff is important for safe and effective care at school. Your healthcare provider may not share health information with school health staff without your signed permission. Please talk to your provider about signing their consent form for the school at the time of your child’s appointment for the examination.
We suggest you make copies of the completed forms for your own records before sending them to the school Health Office. Forms may also be faxed to the number below.
IT’S NOT TOO EARLY. If your child is going into a mandated physical NEXT YEAR, please send their physical to their current building nurse as they are getting them done now

If your child has a change in his/her dismissal plans, please send in a note with your child’s name, teacher’s name, what his/her dismissal plans are including the name and address of where your child is going and the date.
