Principal’s Message:

Happy New Year! These three simple words carry so many good wishes for each of you in our Greenspun family. We are wishing you a year filled with health, happiness, and success.

A new year also brings new opportunities. For our students, it marks the beginning of a new semester—a great opportunity to set new goals, try new things, and finish the semester feeling proud of their hard work. For parents, this is a wonderful time to strengthen your partnership with your children, support them as they work toward their goals, and celebrate every success along the way.

Let’s make 2026 our best year ever! Happy New Year to our students, teachers, staff, and community. I am truly looking forward to an amazing year ahead, filled with growth, joy, and great accomplishments.

Events & Honors:

Semester 2 Reminder - Every Day Matters and Denial of Credit: Every Day Matters! Please ensure that your student is present and on time every single day. Any student with 10 or more absences in any class is at risk of being denied credit. Attendance affects all indicators of student success throughout their K-12 journey, affecting high school academic performance. If a student is out for a medical appointment, it is imperative the school receive a doctor’s note immediately. Thank you for ensuring the academic success of your Dolphin! - Greenspun Administration
