Field Day will be on Friday, May 29th, 2026 in the afternoon. If weather does not cooperate, it will take place on Monday, June 1st. Please make sure your child wears gym shoes and socks for Field Day, as they will be involved in physical activity all afternoon. Also, you may want to send your child with a hat and sunscreen if you please. Please DO NOT allow your child to wear sandals, flip flops, or Crocs. Water bottles will not be provided so please send your child with one. Thank you.

The Greenbrier Elementary PTA Garden Committee would like to express our sincerest THANK YOU to the Rotary Club of Arlington Heights and its District (6440) for providing additional funding to create a Pollinator Garden in our school courtyard. Funding went to the purchase of zinnia and cosmos seeds, bee water stations to keep our pollinators hydrated, and a wooden insect house. The zinnas and cosmos are already beginning to sprout! We look for to seeing this garden flourish, bringing even more beauty and pollinators to our courtyard for teachers and students to enjoy. Thank you again, Rotary Club of Arlington Heights and its District (6440).

As we wrap up another school year, all medications and supplies must be picked up from the health office by the end of the school day on Thursday, June 4, 2026

• If you have medications in the health office, you will receive an email from the school nurse with detailed instructions regarding pick up.

• We do not store any medications over the summer. Any medication remaining after June 4, 2026 will be properly disposed in accordance with Food and Drug Administration Safe Disposal of Medications guidance at the Arlington Heights Police Department.

For any questions, please contact your school nurse.

It's always a sad day for our Gator pond when families leave our community, but lives change and some families need to move away. Please let our office staff know if you have one or more Kindergarten - 5th grade students not attending Greenbrier or Thomas Middle School next year.

Remember once a Gator, always a Gator

• Our new Greenbrier Spirit Wear shop is open! Order whenever you'd like, especially if you know of an incoming kindergartner family or you want to upgrade your child's Greenbrier Gators gear. Orders are accepted year round, and new items include flannel pants, backpacks, blankets, stickers, bomber jackets, and more!
