Happy Sunday Grizzly Parents,

Our first full week of school was AHHHH-MAZZING! Grizzlies are already demonstrating a strong sense of PRIDE and they are making strong connections with learning expectations in all of their classes.

Parents, I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for your warm welcome and support. We were able to get into gear with a smooth transition to the start of the year because of you. Thank you for the positivity you brought the first week of school and your patience with our dismissal process.

KINDER TX-KEA: Provides teachers with a comprehensive understanding of students’ learning, enabling them to design differentiated instruction to better meet students’ unique needs.

GFE's PTO is the best! Our parent/guardian volunteers work extremely hard to raise money and support every student and teacher. From classroom items, to helping beautify the campus, bringing in performers, providing lunch or readers, and much more, the PTO does it all.

We are grateful for the unwavering love and support from our PTO and encourage you to join this incredible group of volunteers!

As a school we are committed to supporting and caring for all of our learners throughout their elementary school years. Our students learn and grow academically and socially during their time at Greenwood Forest through individualized academic goal setting and a continuous focus on character education.
