Greenfield High Stuffy-Staff-Update

Happy Sunday, All!

Thank you so much for bringing such wonderful love, care, and positive energy to our first week of school. Seeing students and staff walk in every day with bright smiles and genuine excitement has been incredible.

I also want to thank you for your patience as we ironed out arrival, dismissal, and bus routines. Irene and I truly appreciate your partnership while we worked through those initial bumps. Things should run much smoother starting tomorrow!

Our first week was packed with learning. Everyone did a fantastic job learning new routines, getting to know one another, and setting up our classroom expectations. Every class jumped right into our math curriculum, building strong math communities and practicing how to speak like mathematicians. This week, we are building on that momentum as our literacy blocks take form and our IB units of inquiry begin across all classrooms and specials. The deep thinking happening in our spaces has been inspiring!

Important Notes for the Week

• Monday Guest Housing (9/7): We are looking for a host family to house Troy Wunderle on Monday evening, September 7th. Please let us know if you would love to host him!

• No School Friday: Enjoy the long weekend—there is no school this Friday.

• Dismissal Changes: Please keep reaching out early and often to the front office with any changes or questions.

• Learning Lab Starts Monday: If you filled out the interest form, you are in! Keep an eye out for an email tomorrow from Kate Cunningham with additional details.

As always, please reach out whenever you have questions. Have a wonderful week!

Warmly,

Jenny

In each classroom this week, students participated in teamwork activities to practice collaborative problem solving and working together as a group. Fourth grade did puzzles, third grade did STEM challenges, and many more! Check it out!
