Congratulations to Madison Shaffer and Silas Soards on finishing their sixth grade ALEKs pie!
Congratulations to our students who earned honor roll and perfect attendance for the third quarter!
Please put this event to your calendar! The Leesburg Masonic Lodge is hosting a pancake breakfast on Saturday, April 12th from 8:00 am until noon to support this year's Washington DC trip!
Who says sixth graders can’t have story time? In honor of “Read across America,” Mrs. Cobb invited the sixth grade ELA classes to a Dr. Seuss read aloud. Mrs. Cobb shared interesting facts about Dr. Seuss (whose real name is not Dr. Seuss, by the way) and read "Fox in Socks." What a wonderful way to end a Friday!
Congratulations to Ryker Stark for completing his sixth grade Aleks Pie!
The boil advisory issued by the Village of Greenfield on 3-4-25 has not been lifted. It only impacts two of our buildings - Greenfield Middle School and the new vocational building. We encourage you to send bottled water with students. We also will be providing access to water coolers in the hallway areas since the water fountains will be out of use at this time. Thank you!
Eighth grade students in Miss Bolender’s class read a graphic novel excerpt and learned characteristics of the genre, practiced theme, character, plot, and creative thinking. Students then applied their knowledge and created their own comic strip stories!
Eighth grade students demonstrated types of stress and plate boundaries using fruit roll-ups and graham crackers this week in science class.
Students in Mr. Weaks' 7th grade tech classes had an opportunity to see the inner workings of the GEVSD marquee out in front of the school. Mr. Mitchell, the GEVSD Technology Director showed them how programming the marquee is similar to the programming of Micro Bits which they have been using in class over the past couple of weeks.
Congratulations to Phoebe Murphy for completing her sixth grade Aleks pie!

Due to deteriorating road conditions and the benefits of having daylight for safer morning driving, we are going to go ahead and plan for a two hour delay on Friday, February 21, 2025. We do try, when possible, to notify families the evening before so arrangements can be made. Again, the Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be on a two hour delay, Friday, February 21. There will be no morning preschool, and breakfast will not be served.
The Greenfield Exempted Village School District is now CLOSED Thursday, February 20, 2025.
The Greenfield Exempted Village School District will be on a two hour delay Thursday, February 20, 2025. There will be no morning preschool, and breakfast will not be served.
Good afternoon. With two additional buildings meeting the established threshold in our guidelines used when determining closures due to illness, we are going to take a pause with all five buildings. The district will be closed tomorrow, February 12, with all five buildings returning to a regular schedule on Thursday, February 13.
What can you do to help?
1. Please send healthy students to school. Keeping healthy students at home will only negatively impact their academic and social needs. Please rest assured that if students exhibit symptoms of illness while at school, they are sent home by our school nursing staff.
2. If you are unsure about whether to send your child, please contact the nurse’s clinic on your child’s school campus. They are happy to help.
3. Keep children home from school until they are fever-free for a full 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
4. Support your child in getting plenty of rest, eating healthy, practicing good respiratory etiquette (i.e. covering their mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing), and washing their hands or sanitizing when soap and water are unavailable.
These decisions are not made lightly, and we recognize that closing school can be a hindrance for our families. We appreciate your support! Again, all five of our school buildings will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12. All five buildings will reopen, on Thursday, February 13. Have a good evening!

We have been monitoring student absences since last week. Four of our buildings have seen improved attendance today without having crossed the established threshold for absences, while one building has not. We try to stay consistent when making decisions about canceling school for illness by using established guidelines because we recognize that school closure can be a hindrance for our families. Due to the number of students absent in addition to the students who went home ill today, Greenfield Middle School will be closed Tuesday, February 11 and Wednesday, February 12. Students and staff will return on Thursday, February 13. No middle school practices or events will be held during these two days. To ensure that our other buildings remain in good standing with attendance, please help us by keeping students who are ill at home for an appropriate amount of time to recover. We value good attendance, but not at the cost of causing illness to spread to others. We appreciate your support. Again, Greenfield Middle School ONLY will be closed February 11 and February 12. Have a good evening!
