Retake day is for new students and staff members, transfer students, or for anyone who may have missed the initial picture day, OR for anyone who was unhappy with their original picture and would like to give it another try.  If your student would like the retake photo to replace the original photo, please send them to school with the original picture package.  They will hand it to the photographer on picture day. We will replace the original package at no additional cost.

The halloween parade for K-2 students will take place on Thursday, October 31st at 1:30 p.m. Families are invited to come to the school to watch as the students process around the exterior of the building.

In addition, on Thursday, October 31st , all K-8 students are invited to wear their Halloween costume to school.  Costumes MUST be appropriate for a K-8 setting; no gore, fake weapons, or full masks can be worn for the entire day.

We are excited to host our 18th annual Veterans Day assembly in the GCS gymnasium on Friday, November 8th at 8:00 AM!  There are different ways for our wonderful Greenland community to be involved:

1. Submit a Veteran’s picture using this form.  If you submitted a picture last year, you do not need to submit one again this year.

2. Invite a local Veteran to attend our assembly and the GPO’s reception following the assembly. Please complete the form linked in #1 to help us get an accurate count of the guests we will host.

3. Students can participate in Hat Day on Thursday, October 24th! Donate $2 to wear a school appropriate hat.  All proceeds will go to our school’s donation to The Pease Greeters for their care package program, which sends packages to local military serving overseas.

4. If you would like to make a separate donation to The Pease Greeters, please send in your donation with your student (cash or checks written out to Greenland Central School, memo line: Pease Greeters).

If you have any questions, please reach out to Suzanne Cohoon (scohoon@sau50.org).  We look forward to honoring some of our beloved Veterans next month!

We are so excited to welcome author and illustrator Chris Van Dusen to GCS on Monday October 7th!
