Greenwood Elementary

Each grade level and department is having fun recreating a 90s CD cover! Why the 90s?!?!

We are bringing back the simplicity of education, the leaning toward each other, relationships, durable skills, and the power of being fully present with one another. The 90s remind us that sometimes the best way forward is to get back to what matters most.

🏆 We’re officially a 2025–2027 School of Excellence! 🏆

This national recognition celebrates PTAs and schools that work together to create a stronger school community and make a positive impact on the student experience.

Being named a National PTA School of Excellence means our PTA and school have demonstrated a commitment to family engagement, collaboration, and creating meaningful opportunities for every student and family to feel connected and supported.

We’re so proud of what our Greenwood community has accomplished together and this award belongs to all of us! 💚

Here’s to continuing to build an even stronger school community, one Gator at a time! 🐊

We can't wait to see all of our Gators 🐊 on Thursday at Open House! We will have a table set up where you can purchase spirit wear, green folders and renew your PTA membership!

If you wanna be our lover, you can go ahead with your bomb dot com self and join/renew today! Link in the comments.

We are so excited that our teachers are back in the building this week! They are working hard to get ready for an amazing school year 📚✏️

House Points Are Coming!
We can't wait to start giving House Points to our students! House Points will be awarded for many different reasons throughout the year and provide a great way to recognize our students' achievements, teamwork, leadership, and positive contributions to our school community. Most importantly, House Points are about celebrating what students can accomplish together and building pride in their House.

How Do Students Earn House Points?
We have created a House Points Cheat Sheet that gives an overview of some of the ways students can earn points and who can award them. You'll see opportunities connected to teamwork, leadership, school spirit, service, and making Greenwood a better place.

But we don't want this list to stop with us! We would love to hear your ideas, too. If you have an idea for a meaningful way students could earn House Points as a team, please share it with us. We are building this system together, and some of your ideas may become part of our House Point opportunities throughout the year!

When One Gator Earns a Point, We ALL Celebrate!
When a student earns a House Point, we want the entire classroom to celebrate with them. The class will respond by saying the student's House name together. We truly believe this simple tradition reinforces the idea that we rise by lifting others. When one student succeeds, we all celebrate!

Turn Your Points Into Experiences!
Students will also be able to use their House Points to purchase items from our RCA Store before each of our five Unity Day pep rallies. Students will be able to purchase VIP seating, pep rally game participation, spirit wear items, and so much more.

The dates when the RCA Store will be open are listed on our Master Calendar of Events, so families can plan ahead. Items will sell out quickly, so we encourage families to be ready to make their purchases as soon as the store opens!

When students use their points to purchase items that support other Houses, it truly leans into our 5 Houses, 1 Family mission. We want our students to understand that while we compete as Houses, we are always stronger when we support one another.

House Points aren't just about earning rewards. They are about building community, celebrating others, recognizing leadership, and creating a culture where every Gator has a reason to cheer for one another.

5 Houses. 1 Family.

Huge thanks to Total Asphalt Services Inc.for the donation of 10 traffic cones that will be used to keep our arrival and dismissal routines safe, organized, and efficient. We love and appreciate our Greenwood community!
