Looking for some fun engineering activities for the family? Check out the idea below! Every month you will find something fun for all ages. Some challenges are easy and some are more complex, but most require materials you will find around your home. If your family completes activities, send pictures and/or videos to kfarruggia@greeleyschools.org to get them posted on our social media!

Reminder! Any medications administered at school must have health care provider orders and a plan for administration. This includes daily medications, inhalers, EpiPens, cold medicine, pain relievers, cough drops, special ointments or lotions, etc. If you have a medication your child needs to take at school, please get in touch with the health office, and we can help complete the correct paperwork.

Health is an important part of every student’s education. Healthy students make better learners. The Health Office team supports your student’s healthcare needs and helps them stay healthy, safe, and present in school so they are ready to learn. If your student has a health concern, is ill, or needs health resources or a health care provider, the Health Office team can help! Give us a call!
