Grizzly Gazette
August 29th, 2024
Welcome back, Greenwood, to the 2024-2025 school year!
As a partner in your student's education here at Greenwood, it is important that you always read the Grizzly Gazette to stay informed!
It has been a great first week to be a Greenwood Grizzly! Our classrooms, halls, playgrounds, and more were filled with so many smiles. Greenwood feels whole again now that our students are back in action. Thank you to our families for preparing students with routines to get them to school ready to learn and have fun!
This week's Gazette has some action items for you! See below for a link to select a t-shirt size for your student's FREE PTO provided shirt. There is also a link to their "for purchase" spirit shop.
Reminder: We have NO SCHOOL FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH AND MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND. We will see our grizzlies back here on Tuesday, September 3rd.
In partnership,
Reba McNally, Greenwood Principal

Safety & Security
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!
Free Lunch & Breakfast
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.

Volunteering & PTO
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.
