Dear Greenfield Families and Friends,
Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year! We are excited to return on August 31st and can't wait to see all of you! To our returning families, welcome back and to our new Preschool and Kindergarten families, welcome to Greenfield Elementary! We are excited to have you and your children join the Greenfield Grey Wolf Pack this year!
All K-4 students and families are invited to pop in for a popsicle on Tuesday, August 30th from 2:00-3:00pm. Come visit classrooms and teachers, see your friends and enjoy a cool treat! We've done some re-arranging here, so classrooms are in new locations!
Preschool/First Friends families should expect to hear from Ms. Trish in the coming days about the first days of preschool. Preschool families can visit the classroom on Tuesday, August 30th from 1:00-2:00pm. GES is excited to welcome Colleen Sangster as our second Preschool teacher!

News from the Souhegan Valley Boys and Girls Club!
We regret to inform families that the SVBGC Before and After School program is not available at this time. The club is actively seeking staff for all their locations, including Greenfield and Antrim, but like many other employers in the region they have been unable to fill these positions. If you are interested in the program, you can place your child on a waitlist. If enough students enroll AND the club can secure staffing, the program may be able to reopen at the Greenfield location. Registration information can be found on the Club’s website www.svbgc.org If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Catherine Kendall at ckendall@svgbc.org.
