Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023!
Dear Greenfield Families and Friends,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope that you and your families enjoyed a restful and rejuvenating holiday break! I was hoping Mother Nature was going to bring us some snow instead of rain, but I did take advantage of the unusually warm temps and enjoyed lots of walks and hikes with my dogs all week, along with a trip to CT to visit family and friends.
As much as vacation was enjoyable, it was nice to be back to school this week and see everyone again! We are looking forward to a busy winter full of learning and growing together. Our students are such hard workers and I'm so impressed with all that they are learning! We will be administering Winter Benchmark Assessments in Reading and Math at the end of January. Results from these tests help us to identify any gaps students may have and provide additional support if needed. We will send these results home prior to the February Break.
With temperatures dropping and snow on the horizon (someday....) please be sure to send in cold weather gear for outdoor learning and recess. We do have a supply of extra jackets and gloves available, but it's helpful for students to have their own gear to wear. Please label jackets, snow pants and boots in order to avoid any confusion! Many children have black or blue snow pants and it can be hard to figure out who things belong to sometimes!
