Transition to the Junior High
Hello 6th grade families!
The Junior High counselors enjoyed getting to meet all your wonderful children before spring break. We met to finish selecting courses for next year and will now be uploading Verification Sheets to everyone’s “My eBackpack” this Friday evening. The Verification Sheet is a simple list of the courses planned for next school year. Please take a moment to review your child’s courses and if you have any questions, you can reach out to the Junior High counselors for assistance.
In addition, any Course Adjustment Request (CAR) forms are due no later than April 8th. If needed, the form can be found here, and is also available on the District website: Junior High → Counseling → Course Adjustment
Thank you,
The JH counseling team

The PTO is excited to start the Greene Walking Program back up this spring. The program is a great opportunity for you to get some exercise, burn off some energy during recess, and earn prizes at the same time. The program will be available every Tuesday and Thursday during recess, starting on March 1st.
All you have to do to participate is add your name to the google doc that was included in the email you received about the program.
There is no obligation to walk each week, but that is how we will keep track of the laps you have walked. 7 times around the track is 1 mile. For the first mile you walk, you will receive a sneaker keychain. Different prizes will be given out for each mile after that.
There will be a parent volunteer at recess keeping track of your laps so make sure you check in with him/her after each lap. Simply give them your name each time you pass and start earning prizes!
So grab a few friends, enjoy some fresh air and exercise and have fun!
Greene Walking Program - Parent Volunteers Needed
We are looking for parent volunteers to help with the Walking Program to take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays during recess, starting March 1st. Volunteers will help tally laps walked and hand out prizes during 5th and 6th grade recesses. Please see sign up genius below or contact Erica Armstrong ericaarmstrong3@gmail.com or Melissa Moeddel melissamoeddel@gmail.com for more information.
Walkathon - New Date!
The PTO announced that the Walk-a-thon fundraiser will take place on April 14th this year at the March PTO General Meeting. However, after careful consideration and taking Spring Break into account, we have decided to move the date to Friday, May 13th. We want to make sure this is a successful fundraiser for our school but most importantly a FUN day for our students.
Please be on the lookout after Spring Break for more information!
