From the Principal's Desk
Please be sure to sign up for your Parent-Teacher Conference! Our school/home partnership is vital to student success, and our teachers are gearing up for great conversations focused on your students and their learning.
Pairing your expertise on your child with our teachers' expertise in teaching/learning can produce powerful results!
We're looking forward to seeing you at conferences,
Rachel
Welcome, Mrs. Ketteman!
With Mrs. Harlow moving into the Library Clerk role, we welcomed Mrs. Kim Ketteman to the Administrative Assistant position at GWE! Her first day was this past Monday, and she has already gotten to visit many of our students' classrooms.
As you call or come by the office, please join us in welcoming Mrs. Ketteman to our Wildcat family!
It's Red Ribbon Week! See Below for Daily Themes!
Drive Thru Trunk or Treat = This Friday! 10/29, 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
We still need candy!! If you are willing and able to donate, please consider dropping candy by the school or ordering from this Amazon Wish List. All donations are due Thursday, 10/28, so we can get everything prepped for the event on the 29th.
Final Days to Sign Up for Conferences!
Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on November 3-4, from 8:00 a.m. - 7:40 p.m.
E-Scheduler is open now through your PowerSchool Parent Portal, and it closes at Midnight on the 29th.
You have the option to choose between an In-Person conference or a Virtual conference. As a reminder, if you choose a virtual conference, you must have a Google account to participate. If you already have a Gmail address, there is nothing more you will need to do. If you do not have a personal Google account, you may use your child's Google account to access the meeting.
GWE Book Fair
Guess what?! We're having a book fair! The Scholastic book fair is finally returning to Greenwood Elementary November 15th-19th. What a fun time for our students to select a new book to read. You can also shop online beginning Monday, November 15th and have the books delivered straight to your home for a holiday surprise.
Below is a link to the homepage for our fair. If you want to create a virtual wallet for your child to spend, you can begin setting that up on Monday, October 25th.
