A Message from the Principal
This week, I wanted to provide a special thank you to our Parent Teacher Organization. From last Friday's Dance Night to this week's Teacher Appreciation Week festivities and 2nd Grade Bike Rodeo, the PTO has consistently provided a high level of love and support for our students and staff throughout the year.
Thank you PTO, and all families, for your continued engagement and contributions to the Greeley School Community!
Sincerely,
Joshua Swanner
Principal
2nd Grade Bike Rodeo - THIS WEDNESDAY
This event will be held in partnership with the Greeley PTO, Green Bay Cycles, and Local Scout Troop 20. Students will learn principles of bike safety, navigate a simple course, and have their safety equipment checked.

MAP Testing- Grades 3-8
Our third testing window for the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) test is between May 9- May 20th. Your child’s school or teacher will inform you of his or her specific testing dates. Make up tests will occur as needed.
All students in Grades 3 - 8 will take one Reading Test and one Math test. MAP is a computer-adaptive test, which means every student receives a unique set of test questions based on responses to previous questions. This provides a personalized assessment experience by adapting to each student’s learning level. The purpose of the third testing session is to provide an overview of a student’s growth and achievement for the school year. Your child’s MAP Progress Report will be sent out on Friday, June 3rd.
Information regarding MAP can also be found on the District website at winnetka36.org/Page/334. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact your principal or ITL Director Barry Rodgers.

Bike Safety Initiatives
As we enjoy more spring-like weather, more students will be riding bikes and walking to school. The District and Winnetka Police Department recently sent this letter to our school community on Bike Safety efforts.
In the letter, we shared information on safety pledges for students, safe route maps for each elementary school, and noted we are reintroducing the elementary “Bike Rodeo” event for second grade, hosted collaboratively with Scout Troop 20, Green Bay Cycles, and our school PTOs on the following dates:
Greeley: Wed, 5/4, 4:00pm (5/5 rain date)
Hubbard Woods: Wed, 5/11, 4:00pm (5/12 rain date)
Crow Island: Wed, 5/18, 4:00pm (5/19 rain date). The Winnetka Police will be present at this particular event for community engagement and photo opportunities.
At this event, second grade students will learn basic guidance about proper bike and helmet use. If your family is unable to attend the event at your child(ren)’s home school, you are welcome to attend another event.
