Monday, September 25, 2023 is individual Fall pictures for students and staff. Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for their pictures as this picture may be the yearbook picture. Class pictures will be taken at a later date in October. We will begin taking our pictures shortly after school begins at 8:05 am Monday morning. Please send the picture packets in with your child Monday or you may order online (information sent home today). Prek received their information via Class DoJo.
Dear Grizzlies,
Our school performed its fourth fire drill of the year today. I am very proud of our staff and students as our staff and students responded well to having exits purposely blocked, which forced alternate exits from the building. Our staff (which included four substitute teachers) truly kept its cool and provided exceptional leadership during the drill.
In addition to these fire drills, we have also practiced drills for shelter-in-place, tornado/weather, evacuation/bomb threat, lock down and lock out this year. We truly have an exceptional staff that we should all be proud of. Have a wonderful weekend!

Greenmont Grizzlies,
An autodial message went out today regarding students and staff wearing red tomorrow as it's Rivalry Day between PHS and PSHS!
The PHS caravan will visit tomorrow morning at 9:00 and our students will listen to the band as well as see the cheerleaders, Red Wings and the PHS Football Team. Go BIG Reds!
*Student Test Scores*
In spring 2023, students in Grades 3 through 8 took the General Summative Assessment and students in Grade 11 took the SAT School Day assessment.
On Tuesday, September 12, students will receive a printed copy of their individual student score report which will contain information regarding each student's performance on the tested areas. To further assist parents/guardians in understanding their child's performance on the WVGSA or the SAT School Day, the West Virginia Department of Education is providing an individual video score report for each student in addition to the printed report..
A link to your child's individual video score report will be sent to your child's K12 student email address on September 12th. Please work with your student to access the link in the email. When you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your child's date of birth to access the video report. Resources are also available at that site to help your student.
If you need assistance in locating the video score report link, or if you do not know your child's K12 email address or password, you may contact your child's school, or contact Cathy Grewe at the Wood County Schools Board Office at 304-420-9663 Extension 122.

Good Afternoon Greenmont,
As you know, tomorrow is September 11, which is Patriot Day. We are asking all staff and students to wear red, white and blue in honor of those lives lost on September 11, 2001. In honor of Patriot Day, our flag will be flown at half staff for the day.
Happy Labor Day! All schools and offices will be closed on Monday, September 4th, in observance of the holiday. We will see you back on Tuesday during normal hours.
Greenmont Grizzlies!
We've had a great start to our school year thus far. As we move forward, please remember to call our school with any questions or concerns as well as message teachers as soon as you need assistance.
We appreciate your help with a few things... Please pull up as far as you can during drop-off. If your child is slow to get out of the car, please pull into the KG end parking lot. At drop-off, please don't have your child get out of the car onto 58th Street. Please be sure your child exits the car on the passenger side of the vehicle onto the sidewalk as to not get run over by another vehicle. At pick-up, please be sure to be on time as our staff's day ends around the time kids are dismissed. If you have an issue being on time to pick-up, please make arrangements to have your child picked up or to go to the after school program run by the YMCA.
If we can be of any assistance in helping you or your child, please let us know.
***Storm Delays***

Dear Hungry Grizzlies!
Wood County Schools will continue with free breakfast and lunch for all students this year. Our breakfast at Greenmont is grab-and-go which means students will be offered a breakfast in a bag and eat in their classroom. Students are not required to take a breakfast. The lunch menu for this week as we return is as follows:
Wednesday- Calzone w/ marinara sauce, fruit, vegetables and milk.
Thursday- Taco In A Bag with refired beans, fruit and milk.
Friday- Hamburger with fries, vegetable, fruit and milk.
Also, students are permitted to have a water bottle in class but it must have a sealed lid. Prek/KG students are provided an afternoon snack by WCS. If your 1-5 child wishes to bring a HEALTHY snack (no chips or junk food) consisting of fresh fruits or vegetables, they may but are not required to do so.
Please call our school with any questions or concerns @ 304-420-9544.

Greetings Greenmont!
We are working hard to get our school ready for our students and families at the Open House/PTA Ice Cream Social on August 21 from 4pm-6pm. We hope everyone gets a chance to come and meet their new teacher, tour the school and see old friends and neighbors.
As we try to prepare our school, we are going to be making our playground safer by installing playground mulch this Friday morning beginning at 8:00am. If you have time or simply want a workout, please bring a shovel or rake or pitchfork and help spread some mulch with other volunteers.
Greenmont Grizzlies!
Our Open House/PTA Ice Cream Social is Monday, August 21 from 4:00 pm-6:00 pm. We look forward to seeing our students and their families back in our school any time between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm August 21!
