Dear Greenwood Families,
Happy Monday! Five busy days down…five busy days to go! The lead up to any school break is always jam-packed with the wrapping up of curriculum units and fun classroom/school events. We’re looking forward to a great week before some well-deserved time with a more relaxed schedule!
April Break - No School
No reminder needed, I’m sure! However, just so we’re all on the same page…there is no school Monday, April 21st through Friday, April 25th for April break.
DATE CHANGE - Wakefield Visual & Performing Arts Day (VPAD) - Wednesday, April 16th
On Wednesday, April 16th, Greenwood will have an opportunity for our yearly “school field trip” for a WPS student art show at the Americal Civic Center and a musical performance by WMHS students at the Galvin auditorium. All Greenwood students and staff will be taking buses to the Galvin together for this fun event. Buses are scheduled to leave Greenwood at 9:20am and return shortly after 11:30am.
WPS Curriculum Information and Resources
Looking for more information about what curriculum materials are being used for instruction? Wondering about the scope and sequence of topics in a given grade level? If you haven’t found it already, the Grade K-4 Curriculum page on the WPS website is an invaluable resource for families. Be sure and check it out!
Lunchroom Volunteers
Our faithful volunteers will be delighted to know that the Sign-Up Genius has been cleaned up - no more scrolling through months of old dates to get to current opportunities!
Do you have any free time between 12:00-1:10pm on school days? Looking for a way to help out at Greenwood? Come join us as a lunchroom volunteer! If you’d like to come in and help support students while they’re eating lunch, please see the linked Sign-Up Genius to select time slots all the way up until April break!. Single days, multiple days, one time slot, the whole lunch block…we welcome any and all helpers!
Lunchroom volunteers will help students with those tricky thermoses, hand out napkins and utensils, support students while they sort items into composting/food rescue/trash, and help clean tables at the end of each lunch. Oh, and the most important thing - bring smiles and laughter!
NOTE: You will need to have a CORI form completed before coming in for any lunch shifts - please contact Ms. Paiva about the process or to check if you have a current one on file
Keep the volunteers coming! Kids love to see everyone at lunchtime!
Greenwood School Social Media
We are on Facebook and Instagram, and one of my personal goals this year is to show off the fun we’re having throughout Greenwood! Check us out - @wpsgreenwood on both Instagram and Facebook!
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.
Thank you for everything you do to support your children and their learning! Let’s have a great week!

Principal, Greenwood School
