    Drop off times for K-5 Parents

    Please do not bring your child before 8:50, there is no supervision for non-CAP students. If you cannot rearrange your schedule please sign up for the Arlington Heights Park District's CAP program, please contact Emma O’Meara at 847-577-3046 or eomeara@ahpd.org to do so.

     

    Halloween

    Following the tradition of past years, we are planning our Halloween activities for the morning and afternoon of October 30th for our Early Childhood students, and the afternoon of October 31st for K-5. Student participation in the costume parade and party is voluntary, not mandatory.

     

    Halloween Costume Guidelines

    We would like Halloween to be fun for all and require costumes that portray non-violent characters. Please remember that we are an early childhood through fifth grade elementary school. Costumes that may be appropriate for older children or adults may frighten younger children. We request your cooperation in selecting school-appropriate costumes that avoid violence, sharp objects, weapons, “squirting or dripping” blood, gore, etc. Please consider selecting a costume that reflects an upbeat, positive theme. We want to model positive examples of care, respect, and responsibility. In the interest of safety, please be sure your child can walk and sit comfortably in his/her costume and see where he/she is walking (masks sometimes obstruct a child's view).

    Inflatable Costumes: If your student chooses to wear an inflatable costume, and it interferes with participation during classroom parties/activities, the student will be given the choice to remove their costume or not participate in the activity.

     

    ABC/25 Foundation

    Help our school earn a $2,500 grant by becoming a member of the ABC/25 Foundation. Join by October 17th, and your child(ren) will be entered into a drawing to win a ride to school with the Arlington Heights Police Department! Click the link below or scan the code below.

    If you didn't join the PTA during online registration, now is your moment!

     

    Joining the PTA is the ONLY way to access the school directory. (Greenbrier cannot hand out phone numbers or email addresses for privacy reasons.) Joining the PTA also gives you access to a digital calendar to help keep track of PTA and school events. Also, if you are interested in volunteering as a room parent in your child's classroom, you must be a member of the PTA to participate. Click here to complete a Google form and send payment via Zelle. If you're not sure if you joined or not, send an email to d25greenbrierpta@gmail.com and we will let you know. Thank you!

     

    (If you have already joined, emails with links to Directory Spot and the calendar will be coming soon!)
     
    Please keep in mind that you're not eligible to be a Room Representative if you're not a member of the PTA. The SignUp Genius for the Room Rep volunteers will be coming out soon and will only be sent to PTA members. Additionally, there are several committees in need of chairs. If you volunteer to be the chairperson of a PTA committee, then you will be given priority to serve as a Room Rep. The committees still in need of a chairperson are as follows: 
    GATOR ROCK (one co-chair needed)
    REFLECTIONS (one chair needed. Please read here for more information about the Reflections program: https://www.pta.org/home/programs/reflections )
    SCHOOL SUPPLIES MENTEE 
     
    If you're interested in being the chair for any of the committees listed above OR are looking for other volunteer opportunities, please let us know!
     
     
    Our first PTA Meeting of the year will be held on Tuesday, September 16th in the LMC at 7:00 PM. This is a great way to meet new people, hear from the Principal and learn about fun ways to get involved--plus we'll have some treats to share! Hope to see you there!
     
    Wishing everyone a happy and healthy start to the school year and we're looking forward to seeing you all at the Back to School Bash tonight!
     
    Did you take pictures on the first day of school? Want them to be in the yearbook? Please follow this link to learn how to upload your first day of school pictures and any pictures you may take throughout the year.
     

    Guidelines

    1) It is very rare that we can use an individual photo in the yearbook because we want to include as many kids as possible. Please upload group shots instead.

    2) Please don't upload duplicates or videos! Uploading multiple versions of the same photo or a video slows down the system and creates more work for our yearbook committee.

    3) All kids must go to Greenbrier. At Back to School Bash, for example, we have a lot of middle school alumni present, which is amazing, but they shouldn't be featured in the yearbook.

     

    NOTICE: These events are solely sponsored by the PTA. School staff may not be present. Please direct all inquiries or concerns to the sponsoring PTA (d25greenbrierpta@gmail.com)

    It's hard to believe that we are here at our final blog post. This year has been busy, filled with fun, learning and growth. I truly appreciate all of your support of our Greenbrier community.

    As we close out this chapter, we say goodbye to a few members of our team. Ms. Bella Johnson, Ms. Kendall Braun, and Mr. Eddie Swanson. Our dedicated EC TAs are moving on to new adventures. We are grateful for all they have done for Greenbrier and wish them the very best.

    After June 11th, teachers will no longer be checking their email. They return on August 18th. If you have an emergency, please contact me or the District office.

       Have a great summer,

                                            Donna 

     

     

    Health Office Update

    End of Year Medication Pick up and Disposal 


    As we wrap up another school year, all medications and supplies must be picked up from the health office by the end of the school day on  Tuesday, June 10, 2025


    • If you have medications in the health office, you received an email from the school nurse on June 2, 2025 with detailed instructions regarding pick up. 

    • We do not store any medications over the summer.  Any medication remaining after June 10, 2025  will be properly disposed in accordance with Food and Drug Administration Safe Disposal of Medications guidance at the Arlington Heights Police Department.

    For any questions, please contact your school nurse.

    FYI: Future Band Opportunities at Greenbrier
    This week, the whole school enjoyed a concert by the Greenbrier Beginning Band!  Students in D25 begin their band experience in fifth grade.  There are many instruments from which students may choose.  There is no requirement for previous musical experience for most instruments, but if a student wishes to learn percussion (drums, mallets, bells, etc.), there is a requirement that the student must first have 2 years of formal piano or drum lessons.  More information about this and all the instruments offered in fifth grade and beyond may be found here:  Elementary Band Information
