Greendale hosted our annual Grandparent's Breakfast today with a large turnout. Thank you so much to our PTO for organizing and volunteering. We especially want to thank our cafeteria staff for the hard work they put into this event. Finally, we want to thank all those who volunteered to set up, decorate, and clean up in a timely manner so as not to disrupt classes.

🦁 What a turnout, Greendale Family!
Last night, 134 students, guardians, and staff packed the GES cafeteria for our Annual Title I Meeting — and we couldn't be more grateful for the support!
We shared how Title I funding helps every Greendale learner grow in reading and math, walked through our Schoolwide Title I Plan and Parent & Family Engagement Plan, and talked about all the ways families can stay involved this year — from volunteering to joining our Parent Advisory Council.
Thank you to every family who showed up and showed out for your kids. This is what it means to be part of the pride! 🧡💛

Today was "Drivers, Dance to Drop Off!" in the car rider drop off line. With dance music setting the stage, Coach Williams dressed up as a traffic cone and enticed parents to dance their children out the door of their vehicle. A lot of fun was had and our students entered the building laughing and smiling while watching their parents and school staff "bust a move."

Mrs. Griffin’s class had their first coffee cart this morning! Teachers placed orders and students helped sort creamers and sugars and placed them in bags to hand out to the staff! Our little baristas lit up the building while delivering coffee this morning! A big thank you to our COTA and our PTA for helping us navigate the halls!

We can't wait to kick off the 2026–27 school year with our Roar and Restore: Soft Paws & Strong Roars theme!
Back to School Night
📅 Wednesday, August 5
🕐 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Stop by anytime during this window to complete paperwork and meet your child's teacher. No appointment needed — come whenever works for your schedule. (Kindergarten families: your teacher has already scheduled an individual appointment time with you — please plan to attend at your scheduled time.) New GES school shirts will also be available for purchase for $10 each — cash, check, or credit card accepted.
First Day of School
📅 Friday, August 7
🚪 Doors open: 7:25 a.m.
🔔 School day: 8:20 a.m. – 2:50 p.m.
Please don't worry if you don't have all of your child's school supplies gathered by the first day — Virginia's Sales Tax Holiday runs August 7–9, so there's still time to shop tax-free over the weekend and get everything checked off the list.
Our therapy dog Maple will be here to help greet our Greendale family and get the year off to a soft-paws, strong-roars start!
We're so excited to see everyone this week.

From Greendale Elementary School Clinic:
If your child has medication in the clinic, it must be
picked up by a parent or guardian on or before the
last day of school, May 22, 2026. Medication
cannot be sent home in a student’s backpack. It is
highly recommended that emergency medication
be left at school through the end of May 22, 2026.
Any medication not picked up will be disposed of,
per county protocol. Medication orders expire at
the end of the school year. You can find
prescription and over-the counter forms on the
GES website under CLINIC.
Thank you!
