Dear Greenwood Families,
Happy Monday! Because I usually write these on Friday afternoon, it’s always a little bit of a “seeing into the future” situation when it comes to commenting on the weekend weather. But I will say that according to what’s out there at the moment, it is perfectly appropriate to say, “I hope you found ways to stay dry and cozy over the weekend!” And that we don’t love it when it rains on school days because we miss out on outdoor recess!
School Picture Day
O’Connor Studios will be at Greenwood on Monday, October 5th to take individual student photos, class photos, and the 4th grade group photo. Your family should have received an email from O’Connor about photo ordering options. We will also be sending home paper copies with photo ordering information. On Monday, October 5th, the 4th grade photo will start organizing around 8:45am, so please make extra-sure your 4th grader is on time to school that morning!

Absences - Student Safety Line
If your child is going to be absent from school or tardy due to an appointment, it is important to leave a message on the Greenwood Child Safety Line so that we can reconcile our daily attendance appropriately. Sending a message to the teacher is always appreciated, but the office must be notified as well. The phone number is 781-245-6646. Thank you so much for your help with this!
Lunchroom Volunteers
We love, love, love having family members come in and help out during lunches! And we are so lucky to have so many folks who regularly sign up!
Do you have any free time between 12:00-1:15pm on school days? Looking for a way to help out at Greenwood? We are finally bringing back lunchroom volunteer opportunities! If you’d like to come in and help support students while they’re eating lunch, please see the linked Sign-Up Genius to select time slots through the end of OCTOBER. Single days, multiple days, one time slot, the whole lunch block…we welcome any and all helpers!
Lunchroom volunteers will help students with those tricky thermoses, hand out napkins and utensils, support students while they sort items into composting/food rescue/trash, and help clean tables at the end of each lunch. Oh, and the most important thing - bring smiles and laughter!
NOTE: You will need to have a CORI form completed before coming in for any lunch shifts - please contact Ms. Paiva about the process or to check if you have a current one on file
Greenwood School Social Media
We are on Facebook and Instagram, and one of my personal goals this year is to show off the fun we’re having throughout Greenwood! Check us out - @wpsgreenwood on both Instagram and Facebook!
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.
Thank you for everything you do to support your children and their learning! Let’s have a great start to the school year!
