Greenville Central School District

Yesterday during assembly a student, without being prompted, helped another tie his shoe when he noticed his classmate struggling. We happened to catch the moment on camera. Even at the Elementary level, students help create a space where everyone belongs. Happy Wednesday!

⚠️Join us for a Community Forum on School Safety! 📢 Needham Risk Management will join us to talk about what we do at school to keep student's safe. 🗓 This Wednesday, September 21, 2022 in the HS Auditorium from 6:00pm-7:30pm.

Our newly tenured faculty and new hires were honored at the Board of Education meeting tonight. Congratulations to all!

Our Board of Education President, Tracy Young, talked about a recent New York Times article that asked "What is school for?" during our September Superintendent's Conference. In the opinion piece, 12 reasons why schools exist are given. Responses ranged from "School is for Learning to Read" to "School is for Teaching." Today, we'd like to add lucky number 13 to that list. Among many other things, here at Greenville, school is for making memories. Photo by Audrey Matott.

Ellis students have been participating in “Meet the Counselor” sessions this week. As part of her job as School Counselor, Mrs. Payne visits every class at our Elementary School to introduce herself, explain her role at Ellis, and how she can help support students. Each grade receives a different presentation, so things don’t get repetitive from year to year. Kindergarteners heard a story about respect and kindness, and learned about all the ways Mrs. Payne interacts with kids every day: in big classes, in small groups, and one in one. Third graders were reminded of all the things they learned about the counselor over the years, and they did an introduction activity where they talked about what makes them unique, and what they want to learn from the counselor this year. Parents and guardians, Mrs. Payne is here to enhance your Ellis student’s experience. If your child is feeling overwhelmed or stressed, is having a hard time making friends, or needs an extra source of support because of things going on inside or outside of school, let her know! She’s here to help. Get in touch by… Phone: 518-966-5070 x313 Email: paynej@greenvillecsd.org Website: greenvillecsd.org (Click GES at the top, then Academics, then School Counseling).

Reminder: GCSD is having our first bus safety drill today. Bus routes will be running about 10 minutes behind schedule. Please plan accordingly.

The following athletic events have been postponed today due to weather: Cross Country vs. Coxsackie (not being rescheduled) Girls Tennis vs. Chatham (rescheduled at home on 9/30 @4pm)

WEBINAR TONIGHT at 6:30! Does your child or teen... Struggle to meet deadlines and be on time? Constantly leave a trail of food every time he has a snack? Drop clothing on the floor as soon as she takes it off? Leave papers strewn everywhere with no systems for keeping track of them? When these organizational skills are not developed to an age-appropriate level, being successful in school becomes a real challenge. Research indicates that these executive skills are the most important skills to have in order to succeed in school. During this webinar, you will learn specific strategies to help your child get organized and stay organized in a way that works for him. You will leave with tools you can use at home with your child to help you teach and practice these organizational skills.
