The following letter was mailed home to Green Meadow parents on August 20, 2024.
Dear Green Meadow Students and Families,
Welcome back to another exciting school year at Green Meadow Elementary School! We are thrilled to welcome both new and returning students and families to our school community. Get ready for a year filled with learning, growth, and fun as we create a supportive and inspiring environment for all of our learners.
Our PTO will be hosting the annual Welcome Back Ice Cream Social in the backyard of our school on Friday, September 6th beginning at 5:30 p.m. This event is a great way for families to get together after a long summer. Our PTO team will share more details as we get closer to this annual event!
Enclosed with this mailing is your child’s classroom/teacher assignment. School supply lists for each grade level and neighborhood bus routes are available on the Parent Information tab on the Green Meadow webpage of our district website.
As a friendly reminder, some students who attended East Greenbush Schools last year, brought home their district-issued Chromebook at the end of the school year. Please make sure your child(ren)’s device is charged and sent to school with them on the first day of school. All students entering grades K-5 and students new to the district will be issued devices during the beginning weeks of school.
This year, we welcome our incoming kindergarten students and their parents for a “Kindergarten Meet and Greet” on Wednesday, September 4th. Additional details are enclosed for kindergarten parents. This will be a time to visit their classrooms, drop off supplies, and meet the teachers before the new year begins.
The first day of school for students in Grades PK-5 is Thursday, September 5th, 2024. School opens to students at 9:00 a.m. and Dismissal is 3:30 p.m.
Arrival and dismissal procedures for parents driving students to and/or from school are outlined in this link: Parent Transport Procedures. Please be patient during the first few days of school as we hone our procedures. If we are not notified of a parent pick-up in advance, your child will be sent home on the bus. Please DO NOT drop your child off at the front of the school.
I’m excited to start the new school year with you and your child. Enjoy the last few days of summer! If you have any questions about the beginning of school, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
Sincerely,
Daniel G. Garab
Principal
