Posted by Donna Bingaman on 5/30/2025FYI: Future Band Opportunities at GreenbrierThis 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 InformationHealth Office Update

Posted by Donna Bingaman on 5/2/2025Teacher Appreciation Week
For many years, the PTA has found ways for students to express their appreciation to their teachers. This year, we are putting together a video on the Momento app for every staff member of the school. Each class is assigned 3-4 staff members to say thank you to; we have amazing volunteers that are going to record students' messages during recess for their assigned staff members. However, if your student(s) would like to send a video to anyone NOT assigned to them, you can use the attached list to record a video and upload it to the Momento app. For example, if your student is in Mrs. Pelczynski's class and would like to make a video for Mrs. Solak, you can find the link on this page.
SHARE YOUR VIDEOS HERE!Author PAM MUÑOZ RYAN is coming to Greenbrier!

With warmer weather here, children are spending more time playing outside and participating in sports and other activities.
If your child has been seen by a doctor and is returning to school with activity restrictions, please SEND the note to the school nurse and ensure the note includes the following:
-
Physical Education “Gym” Restrictions: Any Physical Education restrictions must also address recess for students in grades K-5.
-
Timeframe for Restrictions: The note must specify the DATE that your child may resume regular activities (e.g., "may return to regular activities on DATE" or "may return in one week").
If the note states "student can resume activities once medically cleared," an additional note will be required to confirm when restrictions are lifted.
For any concussion diagnosis, the doctor must provide clear parameters including restrictions and timeline to return to activities.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us support your child's health and well-being.
