Information from the 2-6-26 9:45 a.m. all-call:
At this time, it would not be safe to put buses or student drivers out on the roads so we will be maintaining a regular schedule. The only change that we are making at this point is the cancellation of afternoon preschool. In addition, we will not be transporting morning preschoolers home at the regular time. We would prefer that morning preschool parents pick their children up, but if that is not possible, they will not be transported home until the end of the elementary school day. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your cooperation!

Because we will be under a Winter Weather Advisory beginning at 7:00 a.m., and due to expected heavy snowfall to begin this morning, our district will be closed Tuesday, February 3. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we want to ensure the safety of our students (including student drivers), staff, and families.
Due to the continued weather and road conditions, the Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be closed Friday, January 30, 2026. We miss our students and can’t wait to see them on Monday!
Today, we have a special shoutout for the members of our maintenance, custodial, and transportation teams who are working to make sure that when students and staff return, everything is ready to go. We appreciate their hard work!

Due to the continued weather and road conditions, the Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be closed Thursday, January 29, 2026. As shared previously, rescheduling of extracurricular events will occur as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience. Some might ask - Why not just cancel school on Friday? We carefully monitor the instructional hours that our students complete compared to what is required by the state, and we want to ensure that we don’t have to make up hours unless necessary. Different grade bands require a different number of hours, and currently all grades are tracking okay with our seniors being the only group within a few calamity days of needing to make up any hours. Please know that we will always put safety first, but because we are monitoring hours, we will wait to make any call about Friday sometime tomorrow. Have a good evening!
Due to continued poor weather and road conditions, the Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be closed Wednesday, January 28, 2026. As shared yesterday, rescheduling of extracurricular events will occur as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience. Stay safe and warm, everyone!
Due to road conditions and the forecasted extreme cold temperatures, the Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be closed Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
Rescheduling of extracurricular events will occur as soon as possible. Coordination has to happen sometimes across multiple districts and takes time. We appreciate your patience.
The Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be closed Monday, January 26, 2026. Stay warm and enjoy the snow day!
*Please note that a call and text have been scheduled. The system is working slowly most likely because of the number of people using it.
January is School Board Recognition Month! The 2026 theme is Scaling New Heights in Public Education. Check out the answers to the questions asked of our Board members. We will be highlighting one member each day this week! 😀
1. What does this year’s recognition month theme, “Scaling New Heights in Public Education,” mean to you as a Board member?
It reflects the ever-changing environment for public education. The targets are constantly shifting, and our district needs to be ready for challenges.
2. What “new height” are you most proud of our district reaching?
The latest report card has some well-earned "highs."
3. What advice would you give students about perseverance when the climb feels difficult?
Take it one day at a time and understand that every step you take might not be in the right direction.
4. Who was someone in your life that helped you “scale new heights” in your youth? How did that person help you achieve your goals?
I felt lucky to have some wonderful teachers in high school who had high expectations - Mrs. Iseman, Mr. Baal, and Mr. Gossett.
5. Are you afraid of heights?
As I've gotten older, I feel less comfortable with extreme height.
6. What is the highest location you have ever visited or experienced? What is one you would like to visit?
I've snowboarded in the 12,000 feet range. I remember going to the top of the World Trade Center when I was young, too.
Thank you, Eric, for serving as a GEVSD Board member!💜💛

January is School Board Recognition Month! The 2026 theme is Scaling New Heights in Public Education. Check out the answers to the questions asked of our Board members. We will be highlighting one member each day this week! 😀
1. What does this year’s recognition month theme, “Scaling New Heights in Public Education,” mean to you as a Board member?
To me, it means maintaining a continued focus on our educational programs, investigating multiple options that will best fit our district's students and improve their education for the future.
2. What “new height” are you most proud of our district reaching?
Most recently, the increased achievement on our report card, improvement in many areas overall, and our staff's focus on education.
3. What advice would you give students about perseverance when the climb feels difficult?
"Can't is not an option."
Most success comes with failure at first. Let no one determine your future.
4. Who was someone in your life that helped you “scale new heights” in your youth? How did that person help you achieve your goals?
That's a big list! Surround yourself with positive influences, and all will help in their own way. My mom and dad were my biggest influences as they were always encouraging.
5. Are you afraid of heights?
Somewhat!
I fly (but I don't like it much).
I climb a ladder (8 feet is it).
I take sky lift rides (but I get nervous though).
6. What is the highest location you have ever visited or experienced? What is one you would like to visit?
I have been to The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, and I would like to visit the Eiffel Tower.
Thank you, Eric, for serving as a GEVSD Board member!💜💛

January is School Board Recognition Month! The 2026 theme is Scaling New Heights in Public Education. Check out the answers to the questions asked of our Board members. We will be highlighting one member each day this week! 😀
1. What does this year’s recognition month theme, “Scaling New Heights in Public Education,” mean to you as a Board member?
To me, “Scaling New Heights in Public Education” is about always striving to grow—whether it’s for our students, our educators, or our community. As a board member, I see it as a responsibility to keep moving forward together, even when it’s tough. It means setting higher goals, encouraging new ideas, and making sure every child has what they need to succeed. We reach new heights by listening, leading with honesty and making choices that put students first, both now and in the years ahead.
2. What “new height” are you most proud of our district reaching?
The new height I am most proud of our district reaching is the continued growth on both the academic and athletic sides. These will allow us to provide what our students need.
3. What advice would you give students about perseverance when the climb feels difficult?
When things get tough, remember that struggling usually means you’re growing. Success isn’t about how quickly you reach your goals, but about your determination to keep going, even if it’s just a small step forward. Stay close to people who support you, ask for help when you need it, and don’t worry about setbacks. They don’t define you; they make you stronger. Keep your goals in mind, trust the journey, and know that every challenge you face is getting you ready for something better.
4. Who was someone in your life that helped you “scale new heights” in your youth? How did that person help you achieve your goals?
My parents were the ones who helped me grow the most when I was young. As a kid, I used to think they were too strict. I didn’t understand that they were trying to help me become an adult. Now, I see things differently. They were getting me ready for the real world, which isn’t always easy. They kept encouraging me to improve, and I’m grateful for that. Everyone makes mistakes, but what matters is how you deal with them.
5. Are you afraid of heights?
I’m scared of heights. I don’t like climbing up high or looking down from the edge. When I’m on a ladder that’s more than 15 or 20 feet tall, my legs start to shake.
6. What is the highest location you have ever visited or experienced? What is one you would like to visit?
The highest place I’ve ever been is Irwin, Idaho, where I went elk hunting. Driving along the mountain roads and looking over the edge was scary, especially since my brother (who was driving) kept laughing at me the whole time.
Thank you, Charley, for serving as a GEVSD Board member!💜💛

January is School Board Recognition Month! The 2026 theme is Scaling New Heights in Public Education. Check out the answers to the questions asked of our Board members. We will be highlighting one member each day this week!
1. What does this year’s recognition month theme, “Scaling New Heights in Public Education,” mean to you as a Board member?
To me, “scaling new heights” means continuing to move our district forward even when the work is challenging. It’s about growth, collaboration, and showing up consistently for students, staff, and families. Progress doesn’t always happen overnight, but steady effort and a shared commitment can take us a long way.
2. What “new height” are you most proud of our district reaching?
I’m most proud of the continued focus on supporting students as whole individuals. Seeing strong collaboration between teachers, administrators, families, and the community reminds me that when we work together, we create opportunities that help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
3. What advice would you give students about perseverance when the climb feels difficult?
Don’t give up just because something feels hard. Growth often happens during the uncomfortable parts. Take things one step at a time, ask for help when you need it, and remember that effort matters just as much as the outcome.
4. Who was someone in your life that helped you “scale new heights” in your youth? How did that person help you achieve your goals?
I didn’t have one specific person who stands out, but I was encouraged by my parents and other adults to be independent, responsible, and self-sufficient. I was also raised with the belief that I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. That combination of support and expectation shaped who I am today and reinforced how important consistency is for young people who are still figuring out their path.
5. Are you afraid of heights?
Yes. I prefer to stay on the ground unless I’m flying somewhere warm. Airplanes don’t really bother me.
6. What is the highest location you have ever visited or experienced? What is one you would like to visit?
My husband and I lived on the 30th floor of a high-rise in Dallas, which was definitely outside my comfort zone. As for somewhere I’d like to visit, I’ll keep it safely grounded, somewhere scenic with a great view and solid footing.
Thank you, Rachel, for serving as a GEVSD Board member!

Our district is now closed Thursday, January 15, 2026. Any decisions regarding extracurricular events or practices will be made later today.
The Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be on a two hour delay Thursday, January 15, 2026. There will be no morning preschool, and breakfast will not be served.
The first floor seats are almost gone!
Why make the $250 donation for a seat now?
1. It's a great way to honor a loved one, your graduating class, or a special memory!
2. Additional funds that are raised can help us complete more steps in our plan for sound and lighting!
Check out our maintenance team members prepping for new acoustical wall carpet.
We are THRILLED to be entering the final phase of this project and look forward to sharing more updates about sound and lighting as we move into the new year. Thank you, Tiger Nation, for your continued support! Together, we can "fill" the remaining open seats!

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS BREAK 2025 - This year as we have in the past, we are counting down the 15 school days until break by sharing some facts about our district. This year's theme is a continuation of last year’s theme...
Alphabetical order!
Day 15 - X, Y, and NOT Z!
X is for XC, and Y is for Yearbook!
XC - Some may not know that XC represents Cross Country. Based on the documentation, it appears that Cross Country began in the 1972-1973 school year. The first team is pictured along with the teams from the 1975-1976, 1981-1982, and 2011-2012 school years.
Yearbook - Whether they were called the yearbook staff, Dragon staff, or annual staff, for over 100 years students (along with their advisor) have developed the Dragon into a yearbook of which to be proud. Check out the staff members responsible for the following Dragons - 1922, 1968, 1974, and 1988!
Thank you so much for following our countdown! We would like to give recognition and show appreciation for those who have been working behind the scenes on this project:
Quincey Gray, Superintendent
Kris Davis, Administrative Assistant
Matt Shelton, McClain High School Principal
A HUGE shoutout to our maintenance and custodial staff - Without them, our campuses would not look as wonderful as they do. THANK YOU!
We wish all of you a very merry Christmas!
