Greenbrook Elementary School
Principal's Newsletter: September 4, 2020
From The Principal: Jodi Mahoney
By now you should have been able to log into Genesis to see your child's teacher assignment. In addition, you probably already got a communication from that teacher! I hope that you and your child were able to attend the VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES to "meet" your teachers and test your technology connections.
In the near future (date and times TBD), we will be distributing some "Student Toolkits" with some materials needed for at-home learning that have been purchased for you by the district. More to come on this.
We are looking forward to starting the school year and getting back to some routines.
If you need school supplies or a tech device, please just reach out to me via email at jodi.mahoney@sbschools.org, so that I can see how we can help you.
The first day of school is Tuesday, September 8. The school year is starting remotely. Unless your child is registered for the Remote Learning Center, no students will be at school.
If you do not know who your child's teacher is, reach out to Ms. Carnevale at tina.carnevale@sbschools.org.
