Hello Green Tree Families,

Today our younger students will have a wonderful opportunity to participate in Safety Day! Our students will get to meet and talk with firefighters from our local fire department, learn about fire safety, and discover important ways to keep themselves and others safe. Experiences like these are a great way to bring learning to life and help our students feel more comfortable and confident around the community helpers who work hard to protect us every day. We are so thankful to our local firefighters for taking the time to visit Green Tree, share their knowledge, and make this such a meaningful experience for our students. We know our Gators will have a great time learning, asking questions, and building connections with these community heroes!

Best,

Directing Principal

We love our fur babies as they are part of our families! Please know that others have some real fears, especially with dogs. Please do not walk/bring your animals on school property during our morning or afternoon drop-off and pick-up times.

Please have your child to school by the first 8:35 AM entry bell as this is when they can enter the building, head to their lockers, and get situated in their classroom. The final bell will ring at 8:45 where the expectation is students are already unpacked, organized and ready to learn. Any students arriving after 8:45am will be marked tardy or absent.

If a student will be late or absent, please call the Green Tree Administrative Assistant, Tina Corazzi at 262-335-5520 to report a late or absent student by 9 AM.

Please get a doctor's note so that we can mark the absence medical.
