Greenmont Elementary

Greenmont 3/4/5 Parents, As The Wilds trip has gotten a late start home from the facility (too much great stuff at the gift shop), our buses will not arrive back to Greenmont until 3:45 pm today. Buses will pull up to the front of our school. Teachers will dismiss students to their parents. We apologize for the late return time.

Our student body will be seated on the bleachers in their grade level rows leaving the top row available for parents. Students must be signed out to attend the luncheon and sign back in afterwards. The volleyball game begins at 2:00 pm. Parents are welcome to attend the volleyball game but must sign in at the main office. Fifth grade students are expected to dress nicely for the graduation ceremony, but may change afterwards.

Grizzly 3/4/5 Parents, The 3/4/5 trip to The Wilds is today. All chaperones must ride the bus with their child's grade level and may not drive separately. Chaperones will monitor students the entire trip which is a huge help. Chaperones were limited to three chaperones per class as our tour size is limited this time by The Wilds. Again, there is no space to join our group. Parents/grandparents may not drive separately and meet the group as we have zero space on the safari tour. Lunches must be packed in disposable bags as carry on lunch bags are not permitted on the safari tours. We have brown bags at school in case we need to switch lunches. Students will eat their lunch before the safari tour begins. Thank you.

Greenmont 3rd/4th/5th Grade Parents, The field trip to The Wilds is tomorrow. Please pack a lunch for your child, have them dress for the weather and provide money for the souvenir stand if you wish. Our approved chaperones (no other parents may attend) ride the bus and must sign in at school NLT 9:45. Buses leave shortly before 10:00 and return at about 3:30. You must pick your child up at the front of the school at 3:30. Please call our school with any questions.

Grizzly Nation! Important nutritional news as the COOK'S CHOICE for Thursday, May 18 will be "Chinese Chicken" with rice, a roll, fruit cup and choice of milk. This chicken is similar to a sweet and tangy chicken. Yummo!

Dear Grizzlies, The celebration/gathering tonight for our school being ranked #1 in WV as well as having been recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School is from 5:30-7:30 by the KG doors.
