Dear Greenwood Families,
Happy Monday! With the exception of a few makeups (which will be done early next week), we can move on from MCAS for another year! The 3rd and 4th graders worked so hard and really took the time to show what they know. And they’re happy to be done! I said this last year and will repeat it this year - I’ve heard more than a couple of people refer to the current flurry of events both in and out of school as “Maycember.” That is extremely fitting - lots of fun things, but also a lot to keep track of!
No School - Monday, May 25th
Monday, May 25th is Memorial Day. All WPS offices and schools will be closed in observance of the holiday.

FYI - First Day of School 2026-2027
I am in no way glossing over the rest of this school year AND the summer, but I thought it would be worth highlighting that the first day of school for students next year will be September 2, 2026 which is BEFORE Labor Day. This is different from previous years, so just take note!
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 LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! 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!

Principal, Greenwood School
