Chromebooks and chargers will be sent home today and each day moving forward for families who requested a device. These will remain with students for the next several months in preparation for a possible NTI day due to inclement weather. Students in 2nd–5th grade will receive a Chromebook that is to be used only for NTI assignments. Devices should remain in students’ backpacks when not in use and must be returned to school fully charged each day to support instruction. Students in Kindergarten and 1st grade will receive an NTI work packet. This packet should only be completed if the district announces an NTI day. Thank you for helping us ensure students are prepared and ready to learn should NTI be activated.

You may receive this information in four different ways (email, Infinite Campus, JCPS app, text message). We are trying to ensure that all families receive it.

Hello Families!

The weather doesn't look like it will cooperate with us tomorrow, so the outside Turkey Trot event will be canceled.   The luncheon and book fair will still be on, so we hope you can make it! 

Here’s everything you need to know, even if you can't do the Turkey Trot outside:

What Students Wear:

  • Attire: Athletic bottoms, tennis shoes, and either a Greathouse spirit wear shirt or the Turkey shirt.

Dare to Care Donations

We’re still collecting canned goods and items for Dare to Care.  Currently, we have collected over 1,000 items.  Tomorrow will be the last day to donate.

  • Donations can be dropped off in the cafeteria.

    Thank you for supporting this important cause!

Schedule of Events

The lunch and bookfair schedules can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tg_LB0rTrOCmI7XUNMn3XEmOetWvPfmnUVy06rgTpK4/edit?gid=0#gid=0.

Parking

Parking at our school is limited, so plan ahead and allow extra time. Approved parking areas:

  1. Staff Lot (limited spaces)

  2. Parking spots at the gym entrance.  (Be aware of the carpool line forming at 1:00 PM.)

  3. Church Lot (avoid reserved spots or parking on the grass)

  4. In the neighborhood

  5. The morning drop-off loop

  6. Afternoon car rider lanes (be aware you may get blocked in)

Signing In

  • Sign in at the gym entrance (we will only use the front entrance if the rain is extremely heavy).

  • Bring an ID to sign in and receive a sticker, which must be worn at all times (outside jackets if needed).

  • Remember that you will not have access to the classroom.

Lunch Details

  • Remember: You must have RSVP, and it's best to prepay via MySchoolBucks or send cash/check in advance. If you pay at the register, it's cash only and exact change.

  • Families will meet their child(ren) in the cafeteria.  If you come earlier than your child's scheduled time, you will wait in the cafeteria.

  • Lunch cost: $5 per person.

  • If families aren’t attending lunch, children will sit with other students and families.

  • Adults can access water cups or milk provided with the meal.

While You’re There

  • Gobble Grams:

    Send fun notes with candy to your child or other students!

    $2 for 1 or $5 for 3 (Cash Only)

  • Book Fair:

    After lunch, families can visit the library book fair.

    • Your child's teacher will line the class up, and then you will be dismissed to the library.  You can not attend the book fair before your scheduled time.

    • After the book fair, families will exit the building, and your child will return to class.

    • You may only take your child to the book fair, not their friends.

 Signing Out

  • If you sign your child out, it will be an UNEXCUSED TARDY because there is a regular school day.  Please inform the teacher in advance so they can bring all their items to lunch.  They won't be able to go back to the classroom to get them.  Families can ONLY sign out their own child from school.

Money & Payments

We understand many families prefer cashless options. Here’s what’s accepted:

  • Book Fair: Cash, check, or card.

  • Gobble Grams & Coupon Books: Prefer exact change or checks.

  • Lunch (if necessary): Exact change only.

Thank you for your understanding!  Also, the Donut NV truck scheduled is unable to attend due to the weather.  We look forward to seeing you tomorrow for lunch and the book fair.
