From the Desk of Dr. Stocks

We have had an amazing start to our school year. Our students came in with smiles and were ready to listen and learn! Check out the photos linked below. We appreciate Mrs. Balci, Mrs. Bartholomew, and Mrs. Sanchez for taking such awesome pictures of our students arriving to school.

After the parent nights are over, we will share our Parent Reminders video. Please take time to watch that and pay attention to all of the important information.

Only custodial parents are connected in ParentSquare. If you have someone who needs to receive our school notifications, such as a caregiver or non-custodial parent, please send a note stating to add that person and include their name and email address. This must be done every year.

Carpool is always long the first week or two of the year. It will get better and buses will be more on schedule, too! Thank you for your patience as we work through these beginning of the year things!

I hope to see you tonight.

Meet our Specials Team

The specials team of teachers
Mrs. Langer will be teaching STEAM. We are so glad our students will have this opportunity to learn STEAM skills, such as technology skills and engineering.

Mrs. Mayo will be teaching whole group guidance classes every other week. She will also meet with individual students and small groups. Feel free to reach out to her if you need anything.

Ms. Graves is our new library media specialist. She has been hard at work making sure our library collection is ready for our students. Don't forget, you can still purchase a book for the Birthday Book Club.

Mrs. Belgaonkar usually goes by Mrs. Bel. She is our amazing art teacher. She will be teaching regular art classes and then every other week, students will have TAB with Mrs. Bel. TAB stands for Teaching for Artistic Behavior. This art class will encourage our students to think like artists and make their own decisions regarding an art project.

Mr. Finch is our new music teacher. He is so excited to be teaching music at Greystone. He will also be teaching enCORE to students every other week. enCORE is a class that will connect to the CORE curriculum in each grade level, while helping students develop drama and musical performance skills.

Coach Rand is our PE teacher. He dedicates lots of time to plan fun games for our students that also help them develop their large motor skills. Coach Rand has a new aide (helper) in PE. His name is Mr. Chris Wallace. He will be joining us very soon.

Students attend "specials" every day. We are so lucky that we have such a talented, dedicated group of educators.
