Greenfield Exempted Village School District

The annual Snake Dance is still ON for Wednesday, September 18! Due to the open burn ban, things will just look a little different this year. Those involved with set-up will meet on Fifth Street by the colonnades at 6:00 p.m. Then the Snake Dance will begin at 7:00 p.m. The "snake" will follow the arrows on the map, and then at the conclusion, everyone will meet back at the collonades and proceed into the GMS courtyard area where we will cheer for a Tiger victory! We would love for you to come out and support the event. Go Tigers! 💜💛 #legacyofleadership #mcclaintigers

Please be aware that our district HAS NOT received a threat via social media. We are in session today. Because of the recent tragedy in our country and unfortunately the follow-up of hoax threats, it is a good time to talk with your child about: 1. Be sure to always report anything that seems odd or threatening. 2. DO NOT create or become involved in a hoax threat as it is a very serious crime. It is not worth being convicted of a crime to get a day out of school. Our goal is to keep our students, staff, families, and community safe. We can do that together! 💜💛 #legacyofleadership #mcclaintigers

Information from the August 30, 2024 all-call: Our transportation department is working hard to ensure that students are transported to and from school, as well as, to and from extracurricular events. Because they are understaffed currently, it is important that transportation changes for your child are communicated a minimum of 24 hours in advance unless it is an emergency situation. We appreciate your flexibility and support! We’d like to thank everyone who has helped to make the morning drop-off at Greenfield Elementary a success. Things have been going very well. If you are parking and then walking your child up to the school, please ensure that you are doing so as quickly as possible so that the parking space can then be open for someone else who needs it. As a reminder, please be sure not to park between or travel through the barricades in front of the Imagination Kingdom. Thank you again for helping us get off to a great start! September is Attendance Awareness Month and is recognized across the country. Ohio, like the rest of the United States, has an attendance crisis. Part of today’s high levels of chronic absenteeism reflect the trauma and upset experienced by students and families due to significant economic and health challenges. Students who may not have experienced barriers to attendance in the past are now struggling to attend school consistently as a result of the pandemic. As a district, we recognize that many times, there are legitimate reasons why students are absent. Our efforts to improve attendance should NOT be viewed as us encouraging children who are ill to attend school. Our goal is to support families who need assistance with ensuring that their child is not chronically absent from school. Be on the lookout for information during the month of September, and please let us know if we can help your family. Be sure to check out our app or website if you are looking for athletic event schedules. Any changes are updated regularly. Event details, scores, and pictures can be found on our McClain Athletic Department Facebook page. We hope to see large crowds at our fall events to support our student-athletes. If you are coming to the varsity football game this evening, remember that the start time has been moved to 8:00 p.m. Today is the last day of school before our fair break. School will resume for students on Monday, September 9. Have a wonderful weekend!

Reminder: Forms and payment for the youth cheer clinic for grades 1-6 are due tomorrow, August 30. Extra forms are available in the elementary and middle school offices.

The phone system and internet are currently not working at Rainsboro Elementary. There is a Spectrum outage in the area. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you need to reach someone at the school regarding an urgent matter, please call 937-981-2152. Thank you!

Practice field project days #336-357: Be sure to follow the updates on our social media accounts, website, and app! Progress is continuing, and we are so close to the finish line! 👏🏼👏🏼 Completion of work in the following areas has been happening: ➡️ Siding ➡️ Insulation ➡️ Drywall finishes ➡️ Overhead door installation ➡️ Curb and sidewalk work - Asphalt is coming soon! ➡️ Sod treatment plan - Did you know that sod has to have a specific treatment plan, especially when it is newly established? Any new sod is expected to show the effects of heavy traffic (brown spots), but then reseeding occurs after a season of use, allowing for the sod to become further established and to be ready for the next season. 😀 ➡️ In the next month or so, we will be able to share a date for an open house for the community! We are excited to show off the building that will be used by our employees and students. 💜💛 We welcome questions and will continue to keep you updated. 😊 #legacyofleadership #mcclaintigers #GEVSDprojectprogress
