Principal's Message
On behalf of the Greenspun staff and administration, I would like to thank all of our families who attended our 24-25 Open House. We wish you a wonderful school year filled with new achievements, new goals, new inspiration, and plenty of success…in other words, we wish you the best year ever!!!
As we move forward in the first nine weeks of school, we will work with you and your children to ensure that they are provided with ample opportunities for success. Their teachers will encourage them to do their best work and to ask for help when necessary. Their counselors will check in with them to `make sure they are on-track, and our administrative team will provide them with protocols and procedures designed to keep them safe.
However, it is the students who hold the most important tool that plays a major role in their success. That tool is preparedness.
Students must come to school prepared. Walking into their classes on time with a charged Chromebook, school supplies, IDs/lanyards, and a growth mindset will give them the opportunity to begin each class on a positive note. It provides them with a way to keep up with instruction, complete assignments on time, and score higher on assessments.
But, most importantly, students will see, first-hand, that the rewards of their preparation will result in success!
