Principal's Message
E.O. Green Junior High School Families,
We hope this new month brings continued success and growth for all of our students. This Friday, we will be sending home progress reports, so please keep an eye out for those. We kindly ask that students return a signed copy of the report to school on Monday. Your ongoing support is truly appreciated, and it makes a difference in the success of our students.
We also want to extend a big thank you to all the families who attended Back to School Night. Your involvement is vital, and we truly appreciate your time and commitment to our school community.
In addition, October is Respect month as part of our Character Counts program. We will focus on the importance of respect in our school community and encourage students to treat others with kindness and consideration.
Please note that early release dates, nonschool days for students, athletic competitions, and other important school events are listed on the school calendar, which is also available on our website. Be sure to stay informed by checking both the calendar and ParentSquare.
Thank you for being such an important part of our school community!
Warm regards,
D. Topi Sanchez
