Greenfield Elementary Gator Bite

We have an exciting Friday ahead!
Join us for Grandparents Day and the Book Fair during the day, and don’t miss our Back to School Bingo hosted by the PTSO and Dad’s Club at 5:30 PM in the evening!

We hope you enjoy the three-day weekend, and we’ll see everyone back on Tuesday, September 2!

Grandparents Day is just around the corner – September 5th!
It's one of our favorite days of the year, and we can’t wait to see you there!

Please remember to RSVP if you plan to attend.
If you’ll be taking one of our Gators home, make sure you're listed on their emergency contact form—we won’t be able to release students to anyone not on the list.

📚 The Book Fair will also be open, so feel free to take a stroll through with your Gator and check out some great reads!

Have a few minutes? Consider leaving a review on GreatSchools!
Your experience can really help other families get a feel for our school beyond just the numbers. Whether it’s something you love, a teacher who’s made a difference, or what makes our community special — every review adds value. 😊

We’ve received some concerns about parents parking along Poinciana Road and in designated handicap spaces during student dismissal. Please note that this area is not intended for pick-up. It is reserved to ensure:

• Safe exit for our bike riders

• Access for students and community members who require the handicap spaces

To help keep all students safe and traffic flowing smoothly, we kindly ask all families to use the parent pick-up loop during dismissal.

Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this important matter!

Know Your Ride

The Gilbert Police Department is introducing a new public education initiative: Know Your Ride, a campaign designed to help residents understand the important differences between electric bicycles and electric motorcycles and the laws that apply to each.

As electric two-wheelers become more popular, so can the confusion about how they’re classified and regulated. While electric bicycles and electric motorcycles may look alike, they are treated very differently under Arizona law.
