Family Newsletter May 2024
Hello Greenwood Families,
As we close out an amazing year of growth and learning we have a number of activities for the whole family to enjoy. In addition, individual classes will be taking field trips, so continue to check your child's backpacks for permission slips and your communication devices for details.
Greenwood's SWOT Meeting
KPS has launched a new strategic planning process. The strategic plan will identify the district’s goals and objectives for the next several years and establish strategies for achieving those goals and objectives. Attendees will be asked to share their thoughts on the district’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. I encourage you to attend and come ready to share.
Greenwood's SWOT meeting will be held Wednesday, May 15th at 4:00pm.
