1. We are at the start of a new 9 weeks! I have been announcing to kids that this is a fresh start and a chance to nix any bad habits they may have gotten into the first quarter. Please make sure you are checking the homework link below to keep on top of their assignments and check powerschool to help keep them on track!

2. If your family is interested in applying for holiday food or gift assistance this year, please fill out the form here. This form is not the application for gift assistance, or the winter holiday food basket assistance. You will get the applications emailed to you within a few days. The deadline for requests is October 21st. If you have any questions, please send an email to Mrs. Badger at rbadger@gws.k12.in.us or Mrs. Forey at kforey@gws.k12.in.us.

3. The GEF is fundraising by selling Pacers discounted tickets-all money raised helps Greenwood students, so please check out this link and purchase tickets!

Check the link below for homework to help your child keep on top of assignments. Teachers will update it frequently. Sometimes things that weren't fully completed in class will become homework and sometimes adjustments are made, so please make sure to check back each night to see the most up to date info! You can access that homework sheet by clicking here.

Here is another reminder that your child fills out a Grade Check Sheet every Wednesday with current grades and missing assignments. Ask them to see this!

In addition to Ella's on some Tuesdays, we have added other treats so there will be a $5 option every Tuesday. Auntie Anne's will serve Soft Pretzel Nuggets once a month and Jamba Juice will have two different smoothie options once a month as well. A percentage of the proceeds goes to our PTO!
