FROM THE DESK OF DR. G
We are excited for our 'Open House and Community Connections Night' on September 3rd. This year we are flipping things around a bit! 

We are sharing some short videos before Open House so that our families have the chance to learn more about our amazing teachers and the curriculum prior to connecting in person. Visit the link below or click HERE to access our videos and read an important welcome letter.  


We will have some computers available during Open House for anyone that would like to watch the videos at school. We will be adding to the collection of videos this fall, so feel free to check back again.

Kind Regards,
Brad Gustafson, Principal

FAST PASS Student Pick Up
To provide a safe, efficient, and easy dismissal for our families, Greenwood offers a drive-up option called FAST PASS for student pick up. This option is only for families who pick up their students on a regular basis.

If you wish to sign up for FAST PASS, please bring a photo id and a completed FAST PASS Agreement Form to the FAST PASS table located in the cafeteria during Open House from 3:00-6:00 PM. To print the FAST PASS agreement, click HERE. Families that wish to use the FAST PASS option are asked to sign an agreement each year to obtain a FAST PASS number.
