Attendance Update
We urgently need your assistance in ensuring that your child arrives on time each day, ideally before 7:40 AM. Unfortunately, our school experienced 69 tardies last week alone, which is a concerning trend. Additionally, I must address our current absenteeism rate, which is the highest it has been in the past nine years, standing at 11% chronic absenteeism. This means that 11% of our student body has missed over 10 days of school. It's crucial to understand that if your child accumulates over 17 missed days of school by the end of the academic year, they will be classified as a chronically absent student. This designation not only impacts your child's academic progress, but also has negative repercussions on our school's accreditation status, which impacts the value of our Glen Allen area. Maintaining our school's esteemed position as one of the highest achieving institutions in the state of Virginia necessitates consistent attendance from every student. It's imperative that your child is present at school regularly. It's worth noting that over the past three years, Greenwood has ranked fourth in Henrico County Public Schools for the best overall three-year cumulative attendance rate, following Gayton Elementary, Tuckahoe Elementary, and Shady Grove. This achievement reflects our collective efforts to prioritize attendance and underscores the importance of your cooperation in this matter.
Office Reminders - From Mrs. Jae and Mrs. Christina
1. If you arrive after 7:40 AM, you must walk your child into the building.
2. All changes with transportation must be made before 10 AM.
Morning Club Reminders
All students must enter their morning club by 7:25 AM.
Monday, February 5 - House Happenings
Students will engage in a morning activity to earn house points, followed by a Buddy Class session centered around reading a book reflecting our house system’s values. At lunchtime, they will dine with their housemates, participate in a trivia game for additional house points, and enjoy celebratory ice pops, making for a delightful day spent with our Housemates.
Tuesday, February 6 - 100th Day of School

Thursday, February 8 - Student Led Conferences
We are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming student-led conferences, where all students will have the opportunity to showcase their learning portfolio to an adult from home between 3 - 6 PM. We extend a warm invitation to grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents, friends, and family to participate in this special event. If you haven't already done so, please reach out to your child's teacher as soon as possible to secure a time slot. During these conferences, you will gain valuable insights into your child's academic, social, and emotional progress. This collaborative effort between home and school underscores the importance of our partnership in supporting your child's development, and we sincerely appreciate your commitment to your child's academic journey.
