Pie Day, Tuesday, November 26th
On Tuesday, November 26th, we are carrying on our GCS Greenfield tradition by celebrating Thanksgiving in the lunchroom! Each child will be able to get one slice of pumpkin pie (whipped cream, too!) when they are finished eating their lunch. It’s our little way of letting them know how much we love them! If your child is unable to have a slice of pumpkin pie, please send them with a special treat for lunch that day. Email any questions to [email protected]
Grandparents Day – Wednesday, November 27th (PreK-5th grades)
Join us on campus for a special Grandparents Day Assembly at 8:30am. Following the assembly, Grandparents are invited to enjoy coffee & donuts, visit their Grandchildren’s classrooms, and then take them off campus to spend the day with you. 🙂 Please RSVP HERE. Also make sure you fill out the Grandparent’s Day Permission Slip and return it to your classroom teacher. If your middle school student is also leaving, please fill one out for them as well. Slips are also available at the front office.
We are also looking for volunteers to help! Please see the signup if you are interested in helping out! Grandparents Day Volunteer Signup. If you are interested in donating towards the coffee and/or donuts, please email [email protected]. We are looking to serve around 250 grandparents and need 64 dozen donut holes and about 3 vats of coffee.

STAFF CHRISTMAS RAFFLE
A big thank you to those who have already brought baskets in for our staff!
We could use a few more baskets for our staff Christmas raffle if your business or family would like to participate.
Dress Code Reminders:
PER THE HANDBOOK: PK-5 Students must wear sports shoes everyday with socks or tights (for girls). Shoes that do not fit properly pose a safety hazard for PE and outdoor play.
- Examples of unacceptable footwear for PK-5 include boots, rolling shoes, slippers, ballet flats, flip-flops, and any shoe that has a sole with a heel.
- Examples of unacceptable shoes for 6th-8th grade include boots, slippers, and any shoe that has a sole with a heel.
- Shoes must be worn at all times.
- GCS staff reserves the right to require students to change shoes if deemed to not fit within the stated guidelines.
Driveline Reminders:
Make sure you display your tag through the entirety of driveline. This helps with punching your number and for the kids to see and hear when their car is pulling up. Also make sure you practice the Greenfield squeeze! We need to pack those cars in to help the flow of driveline.
