PTO Directory
Last week this school year’s PTO Directory was updated on Directory Spot, our online directory app. All families should have received notification about how to access. This year the data came from Final Forms, specifically the new Student School Directory (Opt-In) form. All families have access to Directory Spot and the EH Greene School Directory through October 1, and it is recommended that you log on to review the directory information for your student and make any updates. After October 1, the directory will only be open to those families who have joined the PTO. If you have not yet joined the PTO you can find information on how to on this webpage - https://www.sycamoreschools.org/Page/2908. Please direct any questions about the Directory to ehgreenedirectory@gmail.com. Thank you for supporting the PTO.
COGAT TESTING
Parents,

If your child IS currently in Accelerated Math and has scored in the 98th percentile or above on the MAP Test in math, you can register your child for the upcoming CogAT Test for possible placement into Double Accelerated Math in 6th grade.

Greene gifted requirements can be found here.
PBIS for Parents
This week’s video focuses on the playground. This is a very important video to watch and talk about with your child. Not only is following the rules of the playground important so that all students are safe, but how to play fairly and resolve conflicts are also important skills to ensure a great recess experience for all students. Talk with your child about the activities he does at recess. Ask what
issues she may have experienced or seen at recess and talk through some ways of resolving those issues. Please know that the recess monitors are always willing to work through any issues and walk the children through that difficult problem solving process. We appreciate your support in making sure that recess is a fun and relaxing break in our students’ day. Enjoy!
Box Tops for Education
Please begin clipping and mark your calendars for our fall Box Tops collection, October 1-5. The wing in each grade that collects the most box tops will receive an extra recess! Students should please turn Box Tops in to their homeroom teacher.
Consider that your child may also ask other special people in their lives (grandparents, aunts/uncles, friends/neighbors) to clip/save their box tops for them too. This is a great way to boost their collection and an easy way for loved ones to support our school!
