Third grade students wrapped up their biography studies with a Wax Museum simulation!

The K-5 Annual Reading Carnival event took off on Monday, May 5. Students should have received a game board-style flyer with five literacy activity options*. Over the "flight" of 20 days, students can complete activities at their own pace and submit their game board by Friday, May 30 for a ticket to the "Take Flight" themed carnival. Let's soar into extra literacy!

GCS is hosting an Information Night on Thursday May 8, 2025 from 6:00-7:00pm in the GCS Cafeteria. This night is for parents and guardians of our 2025-2026 incoming kindergarten students.

Where: At GCS - Main Lobby

When: 4/16-4/22. Kids Can Shop During Scheduled Class Visits or after school from 2:15-3:30

Why: To promote literacy, build classroom libraries, and support the school library! 

For easy shopping, you can create an E-wallet for your student on the Scholastic website.  You can also sponsor other students at our school by donating to “share the fair”.

Did you know that many Greenland families have already taken the Wait Until 8th pledge? This nationwide movement encourages parents to delay giving their children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade, helping to reduce screen time, promote healthy development, and support safer online habits. By waiting, families can foster stronger social skills, better sleep, and fewer distractions. Visit waituntil8th.org to learn more and sign the pledge.

Please mark your calendar for this special event which will be held at 6pm on Friday, April 18 at Portsmouth Middle School. Per usual, there is no shortage of incredible talent and FUN performances. We have students participating from every single grade in the building. We hope to see you all there!

Get ready for our final enrichment session of the 2024-2025 school year! These exciting classes will run from the week of April 7 through the week of May 23, 2025. Please note that there will be no enrichment sessions during spring break.

Take a moment to explore the fantastic enrichment opportunities available! Registration goes live on Thursday 3/27 at 7:00 PM and will remain open through Sunday, March 30.
