Principal's Message
What a wonderful start to the school year! We have been busy learning routines and procedures over the past two weeks and are now so excited to jump further into academics.
Over the past two weeks, we have made sure all students are aware of the safety procedures in case of fire, evacuation, lockdown, etc. while also teaching them the daily routines of the school and the classroom. Your child(ren) has participated in community building activities with their teachers and peers and are ready for their academic journey that lies ahead.
As your principal for this school year, I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful start to the year. I know change can be difficult but I am confident we will see great growth here at Greenbrier together. A few things you can expect from me includes lots of communication and transparency. I am a stickler for the rules and will reinforce them daily.
For communication, I will be sending a monthly newsletter trough Blackboard with happenings and information as well as my weekly updates found on Class Dojo. I know Class Dojo has been a bit of a shift so take some time to review the Class Dojo info page linked below for more specifics on how I will be using it this year.
Finally, I am a very transparent person. I enjoy feedback and hearing what is working and what is not. Feel free to contact me anytime to share the great things or the things you need so we can work together to make this an incredible year.
Again, thank you for welcoming me in to the Greenbrier Family. I know we will accomplish some amazing things together this year. Have a wonderful rest of your August!
For the kids,
Principal Kane
