Good morning E.O. GREEN parents/guardians and community members,

Here are some reminders for this week:

-It is crucial to continue supervising your students and ensuring that they are making good choices following school/classroom academic and behavior expectations. Your student has tremendous potential to be successful! The GREEN Staff appreciates the time you take to dialogue with your students about their choices and review school/classroom expectations so they may continue thriving.

-Please remind your students to keep their cell phones inside their backpack during the school day. The school is not responsible for missing phones. Your student does NOT need money for school. Please encourage your child to keep their money at home. Thanks!

-It is essential to talk to your student about keeping the school's property safe and in good condition. The students should store the Chromebook device and charger in the black protective case and inside the backpack. Thanks for the support.
