From Mr. G's Desk
We've wrapped up another great week of school and hope that all students and families enjoy the long, 4-day weekend. Our teachers are working hard today to continuously improve the learning for all of their students. Thanks to all of the parents and families who attended Curriculum Night this week both in-person and virtually. It was great to see everyone!
All students 1st-5th grade will be completing our fall NWEA MAP testing in both reading and math over the next week or two. Please be on the lookout for those results at the end of the trimester with student report cards.
Please remember to fill out the green certification cards each day and send your student(s) with extra masks.
As a reminder, due to our COVID-19 protocols, our water fountains are still shut down. We do have water bottle fillers and students should bring a water bottle to school every day. They can keep it at school or bring it home each day. If for some reason you cannot provide a water bottle for your student(s), please let their teacher know.
If you have any questions, please call the Greenbrook school office at 630-894-4544.
