Greendale Elementary

There aren't enough words to express our gratitude to the Transportation Department and each of the school bus drivers who make it their mission to safely transport the students of WCPS! Thank you for your dedicated service! #WashingtonWay @WashCoSuper

Greendale Elementary students collected snacks for our neighbors at Greendale Home as a school-wide service project.

We appreciate our dedicated and caring bus drivers! Thank you for your service to our children.

Don't forget Popsicle Day on Friday! We are collecting $1 donations. Everyone will get a popsicle.

Regarding the Heating and Cooling Update that was sent out from Central Services today, GES has HVAC systems with no boiler or cooling tower. Our systems can switch between heating and cooling as we need it. Be aware that sometimes the air conditioning can be quite chilly so students may want to have a light jacket or shirt as needed.

Heating/Cooling Update: During this transition time in Spring, it is always difficult to determine when to "switch over" the heat to air conditioning. Once the switch is made, it is very difficult and time consuming to switch back. Therefore, we try to determine the most effective time to make that switch. After consultation with school administrators and staff it was decided to begin the process. All the schools with boilers have the heat turned off and the process of switching over has begun. The schools with cooling towers will be able to have air as soon as the process of cleaning the towers is complete. This process is anticipated to be completed by early next week. Thank you for your understanding, WCPS Schools
