SEPTEMBER ESSENTIAL 2-- MAKE EYE CONTACT AND RESPOND RESPECTFULLY WHEN INTERACTING WITH OTHERS
Make eye contact. When someone is speaking, keep your eyes on him or her at all times. If someone makes a comment, turn and face that person.
During discussions, respect other students’ comments, opinions, and ideas. When possible, make statements like, “I agree with John, and I also feel that…” or “I disagree with Sara. She made a good point, but I feel that…”
If you are asked a question in a conversation, as a question in return. It is only polite to show others that you are just as interested in them as they are in you.
Do not smack your lips, tsk, roll your eyes, or show disrespect with gestures.
Always say thank you when given something. There is no excuse for not showing appreciation.
When you are given something from someone, never insult that person by making negative comments about the gift or by insinuating that it wasn’t appreciated.
In conversations with others, it is important to use complete sentences. For example, if a person asks, “How are you?" instead of just responding “Fine,” you should say, “I’m doing fine, thank you. How about yourself?”

Ms. McGill
This is my first year of teaching 2nd grade in my own classroom at Green Tree. I student taught in 3rd grade in 2021 and I am so excited to be back. I am currently getting my masters in elementary education and I will be done this spring! In my spare time I love to be outside, travel, go boating, shopping at TJ Maxx, reading, and most of all spend time with my family and friends.
Ms. Zeitz
Hello! My name is Amy Zeitz and I am SO excited to join the GTE family as the new 4th grade teacher! I can't wait to meet you all soon and begin a wonderful year together! I was born and raised in O’Fallon, Missouri. I am the youngest in my family with one brother and two sisters! I love to travel, sing, play guitar, and spend time with my family and friends!
RAPTOR VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Part of keeping students and staff safe is knowing who is in our building at all times, so we are rolling out a system to allow us to do just that. Starting Jan. 24, 2022, WSD visitors will check in to our buildings using Raptor, a new visitor management system designed to assist with building security.
What does that mean for you?
When you arrive in a WSD building as a visitor, you will be asked to scan your ID, take a photo and complete the management system’s check-in process.
Raptor will screen the information against sex offender databases and locally customized lists of banned or potentially threatening individuals, instantly alert school officials to a threatening presence, and maintain a searchable log of all visitors.
Once approved, you will get a customized visitor badge to wear while in the building.
Thank you for your support as we roll this out and enhance school safety protocols!
Parents or guardians who are only picking up a child for the day will not need to use the visitor management system.
