Hello, Families!
We are in the home-stretch of our 2020 - 2021 school year; and what a year it has been! Both students and teachers have come such a long way, and we have learned so much through all the challenges we have faced this year. We have loved getting to know every one of our students, and we are very excited about the progress they have made – through both in-person and remote learning. The month of May is incredibly busy as we are wrapping up the curriculum, doing final testing, and working with our teachers to prepare for next year. The students will also be busy finishing projects, participating in assessments, and having a lot of fun with end-of-the-year activities.
Outdoor DANCE PARTY & KONA ICE TRUCK! On May 20th (rain date of May 27th), we will be hosting this outdoor event for each grade level throughout the day. This time outside will look much like a grade-level recess on a normal school day. During the dance party, each student will receive a Kona Ice treat, sponsored by our awesome PTA. Sorry, parents, this is a student-only event.
FIELD DAY! On June 1st (rain date of June 2nd), we will be hosting Field Day as a PBIS reward for grades K – 4. Unfortunately, like last year, we will not be able to accommodate parents due to numbers regulation. Students will receive specific instructions for field day from their teachers prior to the event. All students should bring a water bottle and dress appropriately for the event with shorts, tee shirts and gym shoes. If you would like sunscreen to be applied, please do this at home prior to the event.
Kindergarten Registration If you have not yet completed Kindergarten Registration, please do so as soon as possible as we are making class lists now!
Pre-school Registration Don’t forget to register your child for pre-school at one of our local agencies. While Greenville does not have its own pre-school, we work with local pre-schools to help students and families make the transition to Kindergarten each year. Pre-school is a very important step in a child’s development. We have found that children who attend pre-school are more ready – both emotionally and academically – for Kindergarten. This makes a HUGE difference in their ability to adjust to the school environment and to the academics that they will be expected to master by the end of the Kindergarten year.
We want to thank everyone for their help and encouragement this year. It has not been easy! But we have come together as a team and we’re making it happen. Thank you as well to our PTA for their undying support! They have contributed to so many things this year that we cannot possibly mention them all; however, we are extremely grateful for their contributions and participation to help support our students and staff.
Have a Safe and Happy Summer!
