Transition Timeline
The Junior High has begun the process of transitioning your son/daughter as a seventh grader! We are confident that the outstanding academic foundation Greene has established will carry on here at the Junior High. In addition, the Junior High has a dynamic after school life with many athletic opportunities and clubs. We look forward to your family joining our Junior High community. While the transition process is in the early planning stages, we are very excited to think about your son/daughter joining us in August!
Below are some important dates regarding the scheduling and transition process:

Junior High Choir Auditions
Don’t miss an awesome opportunity to be in choir at the Junior High next year! They are looking to add many amazing 6th graders to their choirs. Students do not have to have singing experience to participate in choir at the Junior High. Deborah Stein and Jesse Callahan, SJH choir directors, will be visiting our 6th grade choirs and General Music classes in the next couple of weeks to provide more information and audition the students. Interested 6th grade students who are NOT in general music/choir this year should audition on Thursday, February 10th from 3:00-3:30 in the choir room at EH Greene. Students should have transportation to pick them up at 3:30. Please join our Google Classroom for other important announcements and information about enrolling in choir.

They are also building the catalog of lost items. Each item will have a number. So far, students have cataloged about 100 items! You can view the items HERE. If you recognize something, HERE is a form you can use to claim it.
