Canterbury First Graders participated in the Fable Olympics to celebrate the culmination of their first Knowledge unit. They participated in different activities and games based on the many fables and folktales they read throughout the unit. Students took part in a "Golden Egg" race, ran relays as a "Sheep in Wolf clothing", balanced pails on their head just like "The Maid and the Milk Pail," threw spiders in a web for "Anansi", followed the directions on a weather vane in honor of "Medio Polito", and ran through McGregor's garden as bunnies! Everyone had a wonderful time -- reading and celebrating what they learned!

Third grade students at Canterbury celebrated the end of their first ELA unit of the year in style! After learning about “Classic Tales”, students attended a tea party where they enjoyed refreshments, read each other’s paragraphs on themes from “The Wind in the Willows”, and had a chance to disguise Toad, a favorite character from the story. This celebration was also combined with an annual tie-dye event, where students create unique shirts to wear throughout the year!

Elementary To Go Breakfast Pilot
Greendale Schools Food Service is trying out a “To Go Breakfast” pilot to expand student access to a nutritious breakfast while minimizing the need for additional food service staffing.

Breakfast menus are found on the Food Service web page or the Greendale Schools App under Dining. Check out the flier here.

Eight grade Algebra students practiced solving one-step and two-step equations with an Escape Room activity. Students had three levels of puzzles to solve, each level giving them a code to unlock the next level. The activity soon became a race to see who would escape and who could do so the fastest (all while Mission Impossible theme music played in the background). It is exciting to watch our Panthers so eager to learn!

Greendale Schools' Pupil Services team partnered with the Community Alliance to create 92 Calm Kits for all of our elementary learning spaces. Calm Kits are used by students when they need a safe activity to manage their feelings. Being able to calm yourself when emotions run high – or self-regulate – is a learned skill. These kits include a variety of hands-on activities for students to work with when their emotions are running too high and they need to regain their emotional and physical control.

We are excited for our students to have access to these Calm Kits. Many thanks to Community Alliance for supporting our students learning with these tools.

Hey School Families: Is your OLR Complete?

Each summer, Greendale Schools’ families are required to review and confirm or update their student and family information. We call this process Back to School Check in/OLR (Online Registration). Back to School Check In/OLR is open! School families should complete this process before August 18.

Reviewing this information takes place in Infinite Campus and ensures the school has the most accurate information on student enrollment, correct address and contact information for families, emergency contact details, and health and demographic information for your children. This process must be completed BEFORE the first day of school, September 2, 2025. Student Fees are also due at that time. Parents/guardians must have an Infinite Campus PARENT PORTAL account to complete this process. Please make sure you have an account and can access it. This is the same account used to review student(s) report cards. Contact your school secretary with any questions.
