PTO and School Events
PTO FACT: The PTO spent over $4,000 on buses for field trips last year! That is money that teachers did not have to charge parents for the wonderful experiences.
New Fundraising Event
After School Activities through Greenfield Park and Rec Begin Next Week!
https://www.ci.greenfield.wi.us/283/Parks-Recreation
You can also contact them directly at (414)329-5370.
Greenfield Park and Rec will provide us with a list of students who are enrolled in these activities. We will make sure those students whose activity begins at 3:30 p.m. meet with their coaches in the cafeteria when school is dismissed at 3:26 p.m. PLEASE NOTE: Arrangements must be made for students whose activities begin at 4:30 p.m. as they cannot stay in the school building after school hours. In the event you need childcare, please contact Laura at Kids Connection at (414)758-5071.
Where is the Homework?
Homework here at Glenwood comes in many forms and varying frequencies depending on grade level, but there are a few things that are true of all things students are asked to do at home:
Purposeful: it’s not just busy work
Additional practice: not asked to do something that hasn’t been taught
Communication tool: it’s a way for families to see what we’re working on
Focuses on strategy applications instead of memorization
Homework may not always be you expect...with different learning approaches and strategies traditional homework may look completely different than what you’re used to.
Please remember: If your child becomes frustrated at home with something, just let the teacher know and they can help your child at school.
