Nurse Suzy is at it again—teaching our front office team how to keep our Gators safe here at the Swamp!
We had a refresher on CPR and how to assist students during allergic reactions or health emergencies. We’re so grateful for these trainings that help us stay prepared and ready to support our students.

Thank you, Nurse Suzy! We appreciate you!

Parent Pick-Up Reminder:
For the safety and efficiency of our pick-up process, parents should remain in their vehicles while in the parent pick-up line.

Getting out of cars causes significant delays in the traffic flow.

If you need to meet your Gator in person, please park and use the Main Gate for pick-up. Please make sure to let your teacher know if you decide to change your pick up method.

We appreciate your cooperation and support — thank you!

Vital Reason to Complete the Annual Update:

Keeping your contact information up-to-date is essential to staying connected with Greenfield Elementary school. The Annual Update allows parents and legal guardians to verify or update:

• Home address

• Phone numbers

• Email addresses

• Student health information (e.g., food allergies)

• Emergency contacts

Why This Matters:

🔴 Emergency Situations
In the event of an accident, illness, or other urgent situation, schools must be able to reach parents or guardians immediately. Outdated contact information can delay critical medical attention or support.

📢 Important School Updates
Schools regularly send updates via phone, text, or email. This includes alerts about closures, schedule changes, or special events. Without current contact details, you may miss important announcements that directly impact your child.

📘 Academic Progress
Contact information is used to share report cards, progress updates, and parent-teacher conference details. Staying informed allows you to support your child’s learning and development effectively.

In summary: Completing the Annual Update ensures your school can reach you quickly in an emergency and helps you stay informed about your child’s education.

We Thank you for your support on getting this important information!

Hey parents,

Just a quick note to remind 6h grade parents to please turn in your child's vaccine record if they have had the Tdap and Meningitis vaccine and you have not previously turned it in. This is a required vaccine for school when your child turns 12 but most Dr's give it at age 11.

I am starting to do some vision and hearing screening and if you DO NOT want your child screened please email me at the email listed below.

Going around the health office:

The stomach Flu

Sore throats

Please send water to school with your child. It's been very hot out there!

Thank you,

Nurse Suzy
