Greensview News

Dear Greensview Families,

As we wrap up another busy week at Greensview, I want to thank our families for your continued support and partnership. November brings many exciting opportunities for our students, including classroom learning, special activities, and upcoming performances. It is hard to believe how quickly the school year is moving!

I also want to acknowledge the outcome of Issue 7 earlier this week. While the levy and bond issue did not pass, our commitment to providing an outstanding educational experience for every child remains unchanged. Our teachers and staff continue to demonstrate incredible dedication, professionalism, and care each day. We will continue to work hard, support one another, and make the most of the resources available to us. Our students deserve nothing less!

Thank you for being such an important part of the Greensview community. Together, we will continue to make Greensview a wonderful place to learn and grow.

Have a fantastic weekend, and Go Lions!

Warm regards,

Jason Wulf
Principal, Greensview Elementary

November 16-20, during PE classes, Greensview students will participate in the 2026 STACK UP! Each year, the World Sport Stacking Association organizes this worldwide opportunity to set the WSSA World Record for "The Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations". In 2025, 784,036 stackers participated to break the previous STACK UP! record of 752,663. Ask your students about the STACK UP, and here is some information about what cup stacking is and how to get your own set and practice at home. If your student has their own cup set, they are welcome to bring it to PE this week.

It’s baby picture submission time! A Greensview yearbook tradition is to include a baby photo of each 5th grade student. Please follow instructions below and send to Greensviewyearbook@gmail.com

• 1 photo per student
• Your email subject should be: child’s last name, first name as you want it to appear in the yearbook. (For example Moseley, Kelly)
• Title/ save image with your child’s last name, first name (For example: Moseley,Kelly.jpg)
• Attach image with high resolution. A blurry image can not be used.
• Due by Wednesday, Dec 16th

These images may also be used by the 5th grade Graduation Party Committee for the 5th grade video.

Thank you,

Yearbook Committee

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

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!

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!
