Please come out and support our ladies as they begin their title quest! 4th/5th Archery Club will meet tomorrow after school until 4:15pm.

Grizzlies! Our COOK'S CHOICE for tomorrow (November 8) is calzones or pizza, garlic cheese bread pull-aparts, potato smiles, marinara sauce and craisins. A reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, November 11 in honor of Veterans Day.

Attention Grizzlies! A reminder that there will not be school for students on Monday, November 4, 2024 (parent-teacher conferences) and Tuesday, November 5 (Election Day). We look forward to seeing our students back to school on Wednesday, November 6 at the regular time. If your child has been out this year, please be sure to send in doctor notes and/or parent notes so that we can properly code the attendance. Archery Club will meet after school on November 6 and November 7 until 4:15pm. Have a restful weekend everyone!

Greenmont concludes its Red Ribbon Week festivities on Friday with PAJAMA DAY FOR PREVENTION - wear your favorite pajama! Friday at 8:30am is our awards assembly and we will have our reward activity Friday afternoon!

Greenmont Staff, Thank you all for a terrific Halloween day with our kids! Tomorrow at 8:30 am we have the awards assembly. We will recognize kids for class awards, honor rolls, attendance and PTA walk a thon. If I missed a group please text me. Our reward activity is outside in the afternoon and is split up with 4/5 from 1:00-1:30, KG/1 from 1:45-2:15, and 2/3 from 2:30-3:00. There are a couple of bouncy houses and time on the playground, which means other classes will clear those areas while that group is being rewarded. Please have students pack up early and be ready for dismissal. Thanks again for everything! P.S. As tomorrow is Pajama Day, feel free to wear your pajamas all day including the awards and reward times.

Spooky is what Spooky does…. Thursday’s Red Ribbon Week day is SCARE AWAY DRUGS- wear your Halloween costume! A reminder that class Halloween parties begin at 2:00pm for grades K-5 and parents must sign-in before entering. Pre-K party starts at 1:40pm. The costume parade will be inside as students have said they wanted more time for the parties and less time outside. Friday is PAJAMA DAY FOR PREVENTION- wear your pajamas!

We would love to hear from you! Share feedback on the 2025-2026 proposed school year calendar. https://www.woodcountyschoolswv.com/page/upcoming-school-year-calendar-proposal

Grizzlies! Thank you to everyone that helped make the PTA Fall Festival a huge success! We are truly fortunate to have such a supportive community at Greenmont Elementary!

Attention Grizzlies! Saturday is our PTA Fall Festival full of games, a Trunk-Or-Treat, food trucks (you pay), bouncy houses, a petting zoo, hay rides, food and fun! The event is from 12:00pm-2:30pm and we hope to see everyone there!

Grizzlies! Our school’s book fair starts this week and we couldn’t be more excited about all of the awesome things that will be for sale. We are still in need of a few volunteers for Monday and Tuesday if you are able to help. Thank you once again for supporting our school.

Greenmont Parents! There will be an informational parent/student SCIENCE FAIR meeting on Tuesday, October 22 in the makerspace at 3:15 pm. The science fair is open to students in any grade level from KG through 5th grade while only students in grades 3-5 can go on to the WCS Science Fair. The Greenmont Science Fair will be held on Tuesday, December 3.

Grizzlies! A reminder for parents for MORNING DROP-OFF and AFTERNOON PICK-UP. There is no fluffy way to say this so here goes....... DROP-OFF... Please pull all the way up the sidewalk and have your child exit onto the sidewalk and not the street. If you are unsure, this means your child(ren) should exit the car only from the passenger side of the vehicle (the right side in the USA). Please do not park across the street and have your child walk across the street as this is not safe and delays other people. If you want to walk your child to the building you may, but please park in the parking lot by the KG doors. Sadly, it is only a matter of time before someone is not paying attention and runs a student over as they cross the street. Lets face it parents, nobody wins at the real-life game of Frogger. PICK-UP.... Our staff finishes their day shortly after they dismiss students. Our staff works very hard all day and is not a day-care service when you are late. If you are going to be late your child needs to attend the YMCA after school program which has a fee of $20/day. You may get forms from Stacy in our main office. If you have to be late, please have a family member or family friend pick up your child. If this becomes a common theme, this becomes an issue as you are not providing for your child's well-being. Please call the office with any questions. Thank you.

We are excited to share a special video that showcases the excellence, dedication, and pride within our Wood County Schools community. This video highlights the incredible work of our teachers, coaches, staff, and students, and reflects our commitment to providing a high-quality education for every child. Thank you for being part of our amazing district! Watch the video: https://woodcountyschoolswv.com/wcs-shines
