Tuesday, August 13: Greensview Meet the Teacher (4:00-5:30 - Stop in during the 90 min window whenever it works for your family. You do not have to arrive at 4:00; there are no presentations)

• As we do each year before school begins, we want to allow our students to meet their teachers. This is an opportunity for you and your child to see the classroom, familiarize yourself with our building, and meet your child’s teacher. It is also an excellent time to discuss pick-up and drop-off locations with your child so they know the plan before and after school. You can also drop off your school supplies on this day to avoid carrying too much to school on the first day.

1. Pick-Up and Drop-Off locations

1. “Stop-Drop and Go” Map, Information, procedures (Please read)

• Do not park anywhere on the North Side of Langston Drive; this is a moving line of cars, and parking here will cause congestion and safety issues.

1. Please talk with your children before school and have a “PLAN” for daily pick-up and drop-off. Teachers do not consistently check email during the day, and changing pick-up plans is very stressful for our children. To the best of your ability, create plans and be as consistent as possible.

With the new USB-C iPads, traditional headphone jacks do not work, but USB-C headphones on the market might be a good option. Here is one example: https://a.co/d/0fUkocjn

We are looking forward to the start of a safe and healthy new school year! If your child has allergies, asthma, or any other health concern, please complete and return your forms and their medication to be kept at school during the Meet the Teacher on August 13 from 4-5:30 pm. We need new forms and new medication dropped off at the start of each school year. Some students received forms at the end of last school year to return, or you can find them online under the Health Office page if needed. Please reach out with any questions to greensviewhealthclinic@uaschools.org

Each student will return their old iPad and receive a new 10th-generation iPad as the 2024-25 school year begins. These new devices include a keyboard case plus increased storage, processor speed, and a USB-C charging cable and power adapter.

Elementary Students:

Elementary Student devices will be automatically configured and ready for use when they are delivered to classrooms prior to the first day of school.

META Columbus, our PowerSchool host, has planned maintenance that requires everything to be powered down on August 10th. During the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. maintenance window, you will not be able to access any of our PowerSchool portals. Please plan accordingly.

While we love seeing our students' furry friends, we also want to remind families that dogs are prohibited on school property for everyone's safety. If you choose to walk your dog to pick-up/drop-off, please wait for your student off the school grounds (perimeter sidewalks), and they can meet you there.
