ATTENTION PARENT DROP-OFF DRIVERS: Please see the diagram for dropping off children in the parent drop-off line. PLEASE USE CAUTION as you are driving through the parking lot. Vehicles with only Jr./Sr. HS students to be dropped off should follow the RED ROUTE. Vehicles dropping off elementary students or a combination of Jr./Sr. HS and elementary students should follow the YELLOW ROUTE. Additionally, it would be helpful if space between vehicles could be kept to a minimum to prevent blocking the buses. We appreciate your help.

Join the West Greene Family!

From tough challenges to lots of laughs! 🧪🔎Our first two days in Mrs. Wilcox's chemistry and forensics classes were unforgettable. Take an inside look at our final results! 👇

We've gotten a lot of rain lately! To go along with the weather, A Place for Rain by Michelle Schaub was installed in the story stroll. The illustrations by Blanca Gómez are very eye appealing. Even though there was so much rain, the story stroll stands still got dusty and dirty during the summer. Miss Pinto, Mrs. Grimes, and Miss Danley deep cleaned the stands as they installed the new story. You're invited to visit the story stroll and read the new book!

We're hiring!

Starting a new school year can bring big emotions—for both children and parents. 💚

If your child is feeling anxious at drop-off, you're not alone. Separation anxiety is a normal part of development for many children, especially during times of transition. The good news? A few simple, consistent routines can help build confidence and make mornings a little easier.

Here are a few tips:
✅ Keep goodbyes short, warm, and consistent.
✅ Maintain predictable routines at home and school.
✅ Stay calm and confident—your child takes emotional cues from you.
✅ Send a comfort item if appropriate.
✅ Celebrate small successes as your child builds confidence.

Remember, tears at drop-off don't mean your child isn't safe or won't have a great day. In fact, many children settle quickly once they're engaged in their classroom routine. Your confidence and encouragement can make a world of difference.

At West Greene School District, we're committed to partnering with families to help every student feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. 💚🖤
