Greensview News

Dear Greensview Families,

What a beautiful fall week at Greensview! We have certainly enjoyed the opportunity to get outside for recess and take in the wonderful fall weather with our students. There is something special about this time of year!

A big THANK YOU to all of our families who joined us for the Harvest Parade and helped make our celebrations so much fun for the children! We appreciate everyone who participated, volunteered, and helped create wonderful memories for our students.

As a reminder, there will be no school for students on Tuesday, November 3rd, as Greensview will serve as a polling location for Election Day.

Enjoy your weekend, and as always, thank you for your continued partnership, collaboration, and support. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful school community!

Go Lions!

Warm regards,
Jason Wulf
Principal, Greensview Elementary

As we approach Election Day, UA Schools wants to ensure our community has access to clear, factual information about Issue 7, the combined operating levy and bond issue on the November ballot. The school district’s role in this election is to share the facts, answer questions and help residents understand what is being proposed.

To help with that, we have put together a video version of the Issue 7 presentation that we have been sharing out in the community. The video provides an overview of the proposed issue and offers answers to common questions, with bookmarks to help you navigate directly to the topics most relevant to you.

To find additional factual information and answers to frequently asked questions, please visit the district website, www.uaschools.org/issue7.

Hello Greensview Families,

I hope you have been enjoying this GORGEOUS fall! I find myself frequently catching my breath in awe as I see the stunning fall leaves🍁 all around.

Lunch Bunches, an opportunity for me to work with groups of students with similar needs or interests, have started. Last year, I moved to the model of working with teachers for Lunch Bunch referrals rather than opening sign-ups to families. I am following the same practice this year. (There are only so many lunch times in the week, and there was a lot of parent interest in these small group opportunities!) If your child was not included in a lunch bunch this fall but you think it would be a helpful opportunity, please reach out to me so we can discuss how we can work together to support your child in other ways.

Classrooms continue through the month of November. This month, we will be learning about the following topics:

- Kindergarten and 1st: (1) Coping skills for when I am in the Blue Zone (2) Coping skills for when I am in the Yellow Zone

- 2nd and 3rd grade: Finishing our "feelings flipbooks," highlighting triggers, physical sensations, coping skills, and positive self-talk statements to help me handle uncomfortable feelings

- 4th grade: Relational aggression, specifically handling bragging and words that make me feel small

- 5th grade: Emotional regulation steps and coping skills review

Woven into each school counseling lesson this month is Upper Arlington's Profile of an Engaged Learner, specifically, how we can be "Well-Balanced" and live lives that balance academic, social, emotional, and physical wellness.

Please look for a paper take-home note after lessons highlighting our learning. You can also find a cumulative record of each month's parent notes here. I will update it as the year progresses.

Best,

Laura Kunkle, School Counselor

Upper Arlington Schools invites parents and guardians of students in grades K-12 to join internet safety expert Jesse Weinberger for an evening presentation on today’s digital environment and how families can support safe and responsible technology use. The presentation will build on age-appropriate digital safety presentations Weinberger will provide to students in grades 3-6, focused on digital citizenship, responsible technology use, online decision-making, and personal safety.

Wednesday, November 4, 2026
6:30–7:30 p.m.
Upper Arlington High School Performing Arts Center

In accordance with the presenter’s event requirements, this session is for adults only. Children and students ages 1–20 will not be admitted to the presentation space. Audio and video recording are also prohibited.

As the weather begins to change this fall, we encourage families to use our Stop, Drop and Go line instead of parking and walking students into school. If you do not use the line regularly, now is a great time to practice the process with your child while the weather is still pleasant.

The drive through line is the safest way for kids to come to school. Avoid crossing the street, or using crosswalks if you can. I suggest arriving at 8:00-8:05, the Stop, Drop and Go line is practically EMPTY!

Please help your child prepare for a quick and safe exit by having all backpacks, coats, instruments, and other belongings ready before reaching the drop-off area. Students should be able to exit the vehicle and close the car door independently.

Children should never exit a vehicle into the street or walk between or around cars. This is incredibly dangerous.

We also ask drivers to be courteous to our neighbors by avoiding parking or stopping in front of driveways. Please do not turn around in driveways near the school. We have young students and families walking on the sidewalks during arrival, which makes this especially dangerous. Please take an extra minute to continue driving safely around the block.

Thank you for helping us keep arrival safe and efficient for everyone!

To sign up to receive food for Thanksgiving and/or winter breaks, please complete this form by the end of the day on Monday, October 26, 2026. The school district will keep the information you provide in the form confidential unless you request otherwise.

It’s time to collect yearbook candid images for school. Every student will be featured with their school picture, but we are looking for group candid photos to include from various school sponsored events. These images could be from walking club, Walk for Greensview, Fall Family Fun night, field trips, and the Harvest/Winter parties. Please send your best 3-5 images from these events to greensviewyearbook@gmail.com

While we know many students enjoy seeing their furry friends, dogs are not permitted on school property at any time, including during arrival and dismissal. This policy is in place to ensure the safety and comfort of all students and staff.

If you're walking your dog to school for pick-up or drop-off, please wait on the perimeter sidewalks off school grounds. Your child can meet you there at the designated dismissal area.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school environment safe for everyone!
