Green Meadows Climate Corner
The purpose of the Green Meadows Climate team is to support social-emotional learning at Green Meadows through a positive school climate that reflects our CARES values-cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control. An update from the Climate Team is provided each month in this newsletter. Our climate team meets monthly and includes the following staff members: Sharon Moberg, Principal, Andy Villamaino, Assistant Principal, Karyn Shaw, School Psychologist (Co-chair), Karen Gelinas, School Adjustment Counselor (Co-chair), Emily Shimansky, Special Education Teacher, Alex Baker, Physical Education Teacher, Amanda Shute, Kindergarten Teacher, Chris Jackman, First Grade Teacher, Laurie Sullivan, Third Grade Teacher, Beth Richards, Reading Specialist, and Donna Benard, School Adjustment Counselor.
This month, we will be including student representatives from our Student Council at our meeting. We are also interested in getting parent input and would like to begin this process by asking you to complete the survey below. Look for results in the December newsletter!
