Greystone Elementary School

We have a fun and engaging HOUSE system at Greystone for all K-5 students. These teams or "Houses" consist of faculty and staff from the school, as well as students from K - 5th grades. Our House system has helped build a sense of community and connectedness among our entire school community.  Kindergarten and new students participate in a drawing assembly each year where they draw from a box to determine their House for their time at Greystone.

We have four houses which are all associated with a color, a theme, and symbolic mascots described in the table below.

Within each house, students are divided into house families.  Each faculty or staff member in a house has a “family” that consists of about 10-15 students from all grade levels.  House families stay together as long as the student attends Greystone, so it gives students a close-knit group which further builds a culture of community and connectedness.

We also have a 5th grade House Council.  Greystone Elementary School House Council is a small group of eight 5th grade students that serve as leaders in our school. These are two House Leaders to represent each of the four Houses at Greystone.  

GSES House Leaders 2025-2026

Throughout the year, we have many "House" days where students wear their House colors and participate in activities with their House families.  Last year, our House families made ornaments for our holiday House trees, learned about their House leader’s hobby, international holidays, famous people, learned new vocabulary words, and did team building activities. 

Students earn House points each day by following our school's “Paws”pectations in their classroom.  At the end of each semester, the House with the most points wins the House cup!
