Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up next week, May 6-10. We are wanting to treat our teachers all week by stocking the teacher's lounge. If you are able to help show them how much they are appreciated not just this week but all year, please see the attached flyer for your respected grade level donations!
Due to the potential incoming bad weather there will be no after school practices today for GCMS.
For Earth Day, GCMS Student Council went around school grounds and the surrounding streets to clean up trash. They filled lots of bags with garbage! We have a great group of kids who are always willing to step up and help out! They even found a snake!!
GCMS Student Council is hosting Terrific Tuesday's to finish out the school year. They have chosen fun and creative dress up days! Below are the themes for each Tuesday. We will also share ideas for each week. This week's theme is : Rhyme without Reason! We encourage students to participate each Tuesday, knowing that the school dress code is still going to be enforced, but students may wear hats if it is part of their outfit.
GCMS was Team Eliserio today!

Good evening,
Greene County Elementary, including our 3-year-old PreSchool classroom, will be closed on Friday, April 5th, 2024 due to widespread illness among staff members. As of the sending of this message, nearly 50% of the staff is absent due to illness or another planned event. Since our main priority, before learning, is safety, we need to ensure an appropriate number of staff are available to serve and support our students.
Both the Middle School and High School will have classes as regularly scheduled for the day.
For our elementary students; please stay home, stay safe, and have a great weekend.
Thank you,
