    Picture Day
    Picture day will be Tuesday, October 17th. We have a new vendor this year. There will be no paper order forms and no need to order pictures in advance. All students will have their pictures taken on the 17th. About two weeks later, parents will receive an email with several picture options to choose from. At that time, picture packages can be ordered.  
     
     

    Halloween

    We would like Halloween to be fun for all, so we 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 are requesting 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 caring, respect, and responsibility. In the interest of safety, please be sure your child is able to walk and sit comfortably in his/her costume and is able to see where he/she is walking (masks sometimes obstruct a child's view).

    Notes from the Nurse

    Health Forms - State Required health forms for incoming early childhood students, kindergartners and students new to District 25 are due on or before October 15, 2023. Please be sure to check your email as we have reached out to most families who are still missing information.

    Hearing and Vision Screenings - We will soon be beginning the required hearing and vision screenings. Vision screenings will take place for students in early childhood, kindergarten, 2nd grade, students new to the district, and students who have an IEP. Hearing screenings will take place for students in early childhood, kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade, students new to the district, and students who have an IEP.

    *Kindergarten and new-from-out-of-state families: Please note that the vision screening does not count towards the required IL state eye exam, and a vision screening will not be completed if the exam is submitted.

    Please reach out  to Lori Cataldo, lcataldo@sd25.org, if you have any questions or concerns.

    New Student Groups

    Last week, Mrs. Silva sent home letters to all 1st-5th families about a short-term new student group for Greenbrier students who are new to the school this year. The second/third grade combined group will meet this upcoming Monday, August 28th, during lunch from 12:10-12:30. The first grade group will meet this upcoming Monday, August 28th, during lunch from 12:50-1:10. Each group will meet in the courtyard if weather permits; otherwise, an indoor space will be used and announced that day. The sessions are optional and will be an informal discussion/activity that focuses on what it feels like to be a new student at Greenbrier School.  

    If you have any questions, you may reach out to Mrs. Silva by email at jsilva@sd25.org or by telephone at (847) 506-5566.

    It has been a wonderful first two days of school!  We are so glad to have students back at school. We are looking forward to a great year learning and growing together. New students received their We are GB shirt on Friday. We will wear our shirts on the third Thursday of each month. Please see the dates below.

    Our K-5 students were able to see our first day video during the assembly. Click here to view it. We also created an EC First Day Video. Don't forget to turn up the video quality to 1080p if it defaults to a lower resolution. Click the cog wheel in the lower right corner of the video.Just a reminder that our K-5 Parent Night is Wednesday, August 23. This is a parent-only event. We hope to see you there.  Our EC parent night will be Thursday, August 31. See upcoming events below for the times.

     

    Student Handbook Reminder:

    Please read through the student handbook as it has a lot of important information. A couple of quick highlights I wanted to make you aware of are below:

    The possession and use of cell phones and other electronic devices, including wearables, are subject to the following rules: 

    • Elementary students are expected to leave electronics in the “off” position and in their backpacks throughout the school day.

    Except as required in class or extracurricular programs, students cannot wear the following items in school:

    • Hats, hoods, helmets or headgear (except as a religious observance or if medically necessary).

    • Sunglasses (unless medically necessitated)

    We know this might be an adjustment for some students, so please remind your child that they will have to take off their “wearable” watch and hats off once they are at school.

    FYI: Future Band Opportunities at Greenbrier
    Last week, the whole school enjoyed a concert by the Greenbrier Beginning Band! Most students in D25 begin their band experience in fifth grade. There are many instruments from which students may choose and no requirement for previous musical experience for most instruments. However, 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 lessons. More information about this and all the instruments offered in fifth grade and beyond may be found here: Elementary Band Information
