Grizzly Ghouls and Gobblins!
Our PTA TRUNK-OR-TREAT day has finally arrived! It's true! Today is the day of our PTA Trunk-Or-Treat!!!!!
Those participating with their "trunks" may begin setting up in the KG end parking lot beginning at 4:30 pm. The start line will begin on the left side of the parking lot and come back up the right side nearest the field. PTA members will be on hand to guide you. All cars need to be set up NLT 5:15 as our event begins at 5:30pm and runs until 7:00pm. We are looking forward to seeing everyone for this fun night with our Greenmont community!
Greenmont Sporting Enthusiasts!
A "gentle" reminder for parents attending sporting/school events to please behave and represent yourselves properly.
Parents should not be acting in an inappropriate manner, threatening referees/administrators, complaining to coaches about playing time, entering the field of play, littering, loitering or worse yet, getting into a fist fight with other parents. Yes, this is all obvious, but there have been increasing issues around Wood County elementary events and we do not wish for our parents to have any part in this nonsense. Some other parents have been banned from activities in the past few weeks and we do not wish for our community to ever have these issues. Thank you all for acting appropriately and continuing to make our school proud.
Please come out tonight for our Girls Basketball team's Fifth Grade Night at 5:45pm when we play Madison.
Greetings Greenmont,
The science fair parent meeting for tomorrow has been rescheduled for next Wednesday (November 1) at 3:15pm in our school's library. Mrs. Berner is hoping for a tremendous turnout!
Grizzly Nation!
Our PTA is still collecting pledges/money from the Walk-A-Thon. Monies raised will be used to replace blinds in rooms to make our building safer and more functional. Our School Book Fair is next week (Monday-Wednesday) and Mr. Mace is also going to have time on conference day for parents to shop. As always, thank you for all you do to support our school.
Grizzlies,
As we prepare for our Veteran Day assembly being held on Wednesday, November 8 (9:00am), we are asking for veterans to RSVP before Wednesday, October 23.
RSVP must be sent to Mrs. Megan Greer in kindergarten. Thank you.

The Greenmont Girls Basketball game versus Fairplains on Thursday, October 19, 2023 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. All other games will remain as scheduled.
Good Afternoon Greenmont,
Letters for our school's SCIENCE FAIR are coming home today! Students in grades K-5 may choose to participate (grades 3-5 may go on to the county fair if they score high enough). Entry forms are also coming home today which need to be turned in to Mrs. Berner NLT Wednesday, October 25, 2023. An informational parent meeting will be held in the library at 3:15pm on Wednesday, October 25, 2023.
Our goal is to have as many students as possible completing a project and learning about some awesome science topics!
Grizzly Nation!
Our Annual PTA Walk-A-Thon is tomorrow night from 4pm-6pm. The Walk-A-Thon this year is a fundraiser to replace all window blinds with working blinds that will be safer for our school.
Students have been provided sponsor sheets to use for lap or general donations. Online donations are also available given information previously provided. All family members are welcome to attend, relax in lawn chairs, pop a tent or spend time with their Greenmont family. One difference this year is we will have food trucks on the lawn where you can purchase Mexican food, Mandy Jo's Sweet Treats (cookies and pepperoni rolls), Aunt K's Kitchen, and/or KONA Ice (participating students get a free KONA Ice with five laps walked).
Thank you for supporting our PTA. We look forward to seeing as many people as possible for this awesome event!
Grizzly Parents,
Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up on Thursday, October 26, 2023 between the hours of 11:00am and 6:45pm. Conferences will be scheduled for 15 minutes in length.
Information will be coming home soon regarding setting up conference times with your child’s teacher. For those parents that have multiple students at Greenmont, our teachers will try to work with you to schedule your conferences closer together as to avoid making multiple trips to our school that day. Please remember conferences are very important whether your child is at the highest levels or if they are working their way up to their best. Our school’s goal is to have conferences with every household.
Grizzlies!
Our PTA Skating Party is tonight from 6-8 at Skate Country in Parkersburg. There is no charge for entry or skates thanks to the generosity of our PTA.

Monday, September 25, 2023 is individual Fall pictures for students and staff. Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for their pictures as this picture may be the yearbook picture. Class pictures will be taken at a later date in October. We will begin taking our pictures shortly after school begins at 8:05 am Monday morning. Please send the picture packets in with your child Monday or you may order online (information sent home today). Prek received their information via Class DoJo.
Dear Grizzlies,
Our school performed its fourth fire drill of the year today. I am very proud of our staff and students as our staff and students responded well to having exits purposely blocked, which forced alternate exits from the building. Our staff (which included four substitute teachers) truly kept its cool and provided exceptional leadership during the drill.
In addition to these fire drills, we have also practiced drills for shelter-in-place, tornado/weather, evacuation/bomb threat, lock down and lock out this year. We truly have an exceptional staff that we should all be proud of. Have a wonderful weekend!

Greenmont Grizzlies,
An autodial message went out today regarding students and staff wearing red tomorrow as it's Rivalry Day between PHS and PSHS!

*Student Test Scores*
In spring 2023, students in Grades 3 through 8 took the General Summative Assessment and students in Grade 11 took the SAT School Day assessment.
On Tuesday, September 12, students will receive a printed copy of their individual student score report which will contain information regarding each student's performance on the tested areas. To further assist parents/guardians in understanding their child's performance on the WVGSA or the SAT School Day, the West Virginia Department of Education is providing an individual video score report for each student in addition to the printed report..
A link to your child's individual video score report will be sent to your child's K12 student email address on September 12th. Please work with your student to access the link in the email. When you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your child's date of birth to access the video report. Resources are also available at that site to help your student.
If you need assistance in locating the video score report link, or if you do not know your child's K12 email address or password, you may contact your child's school, or contact Cathy Grewe at the Wood County Schools Board Office at 304-420-9663 Extension 122.
