Good Evening Greenmont, As the weather warms, please be aware of how your children are dressed for school as what may have been worn this fall may no longer fit the same. Shorts must be an appropriate length as to keep rear ends covered, while shirts must not show the midsection/belly. Please ensure what’s written on clothing is also appropriate for school. If you have any questions, please call our school. We also need your help at the end of the day during dismissal. At dismissal, please monitor your children and keep them near you. We have had some issues with parents not paying attention which can cause safety problems. Thank you for your help.

Good Evening Grizzlies! We apologize for the hour of this message, but we needed to be sure that all members of the Greenmont track team attend practice tomorrow immediately after school until 4:15 pm. All girls and boys, all ages of track team members are to attend tomorrow. Thank you and have a wonderful evening. Go Grizzlies!

Good Afternoon Greenmont Grizzlies, As you know, we are required by our state to conduct various emergency drills every year including fire drills, weather/tornado drills, lock down drills, shelter-in-place drills, and evacuation drills. With this in mind, we conducted a fire drill this afternoon. During the fire drill, we forced our teachers to divert to alternate exits as suggested by our recent training facilitator. Our staff and students did a fantastic job exiting the building in a timely manner especially given the alternate exits. We are truly fortunate to have an excellent staff that can think on its feet when necessary and have our students perform at such a high level. We will continue with our required safety drills later this week as well as fire drills each month. Again, thank you to our staff for being an extraordinary group of professionals.

Dear Grizzlies, It was great seeing our kids and staff back at school today. A reminder that there will be a PTA meeting tomorrow after school in our library beginning at 3:15. All are welcome to attend.

Dear Greenmont Parents, As field trips are being planned, any parents that are going to be a part of their child's field trip is required to have a Wood County Schools Back Ground Check completed before they are permitted to attend a trip. Each grade level will determine if parents will be able to be a part of the trip. To obtain a background check, parents must go to: www.woodcountyschoolswv.com click OTHER click Human Resources click Parent Volunteer You must complete the entire process and pay with your credit card. When you get the background check back, you must provide our office a paper copy of the background check. Background checks are good for one calendar year. Please call our school if you have any questions 304-420-9544. **We appreciate your understanding and willingness to go through this process. Our main goal is to ensure our students and staff are in a safe environment. These forms must be on file with our school whether parents are attending a trip at a park, ride on a bus or will meet the group at the venue (depends on the trip).

Good Evening Greenmont! Our boys basketball team defeated rival Neale by the score of 35-17! Our boys play again this Monday at 5:30 pm. Congratulations team!
