Dear Greenwood Families,
Happy Monday! Believe it or not, we are five school days away from February break - time flies! We’re looking forward to a busy week as we (finally) hit the 100th day of school on Thursday. Thank goodness we didn’t have enough snow days to push that to after the break!
February Break - No School
I’m sure this is a reminder that probably doesn’t need stating, but just in case…there will be no school from Monday, February 16th through Friday, February 20th for February break. I will be working limited hours during this week but will respond to messages when I’m in!
100th Day of School
Thanks to the two snow days, the 100th day of school falls on Thursday, February 12th. We are up and over the halfway point of the school year!
Report Cards
Report cards will be emailed out to families on the afternoon of Thursday, February 12th. In order to open the document, you will need your child’s student ID number. A School Messenger email with more information about the report card indicators and a reminder of your child’s ID number will be sent home on Thursday morning.
Midyear DIBELS & i-Ready Reports
We have wrapped up our midyear assessment window, and we will be sending home paper copies of your child’s DIBELS report on Thursday afternoon, along with instructions on how to digitally access iReady reports. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
WEF Annual Adult Spelling Bee: March 13th!
It's time again to brush up on your spelling and trivia! And you can create clever costumes to compete for extra points! WEF is hosting its annual Adult Spelling Bee on Friday, March 13th. See linked flyer for more details and sign up early--tables max out at 12 at the West Side Social Club.
Lunchroom Volunteers
Do you have any free time between 12:00-1:15pm on school days? Looking for a way to help out at Greenwood? Come join us as a lunchroom volunteer! 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 up until the APRIL break! 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 week!
Tiffany Back
Principal, Greenwood School
