We’re so excited to announce that the Hallway Walk is BACK! After taking a pause for Capital Project construction, this favorite back-to-school tradition is returning for the 2026-27 school year!

Hallway Walk
On Thursday, September 3, 2026, students and families are invited to visit Ellis during one of two convenient time slots: 9:00-11:00 a.m. or 4:00-6:00 p.m. There is no sign-up required, simply stop by during the time slot that works best for your family.

The Hallway Walk is designed to help students reacclimate to school, refamiliarize themselves with the building, and ease those back-to-school jitters. Students will embark on a Spartan-themed scavenger hunt throughout the school before finishing their adventure in the gym, where they can enjoy a back-to-school photo and some fun activities.

Flyer Fair
We’ll also host a Flyer Fair in the gym, giving families an opportunity to learn about clubs, activities, and organizations available in our community outside of school. If you are a Greenville-based organization and have a flyer you’d like posted, please email Sierra Pizzola atpizzolas@greenvillecsd.org.

Meet & Greet
Principal Rachel Harvey and Superintendent Rachel Anderson will be at both Hallway Walk sessions to welcome students and families, answer questions, and help everyone get excited for the new school year!

Event Reminders
Please note that classrooms will not be open for tours or school supply drop-off during the Hallway Walk. Teachers will not be in attendance. This is a family event, drop-offs are not permitted.
