Greenville CSD will be closed on Friday, February 4th.
Due to the pending storm, all after school activities have been canceled on Thursday, February 3rd.
The 2022 Career Day will again be virtual for Greenville MS/HS. Last year we conducted over 50 interviews to create a database of professional videos. We would like to grow our library and are looking for individuals in a variety of professions who would be willing to participate in a virtual 10 minute one on one interview with a GCS faculty member.
Our goal is to expose students to the wide variety of careers and opportunities out there! The more diverse our list of interviews the better. Based on feedback from students, we are specifically looking for professionals in the following fields (but will interview anyone who is interested!):
- Author
- Art and design
- Athlete
- Florist
- Hunting/fishing
- Interior Designer
- Musician
If you're interested in participating please fill out this quick form.

Grade 4 musicians performing for their classmates!
Grade 6 students completed their volcano projects this week and spent time outside testing them. Ms. Kuhar's student not only learned the science of volcanoes through this project but also developed their skills of collaboration, communication and problem solving! Great work!
HS Bio students had a special guest visitor this week. Adam Tegnander, the Histotechnician Program Director at SUNY Cobleskill visited classes and provided students an opportunity to see and learn about a variety of organs. Thank you Mr. Tegnander!
Today, the library is hosting a Holiday Book Tasting for Mrs. Moylan's 8th grade ELA classes. During the tasting, each student has an opportunity to "taste" books from six different genres. They will walk away with a bookmark that lists the books and genres they liked best!

Dear Families,
Thank you to all of the families who attended our (remote) Parent/Teacher Conferences! Although we prefer to visit with parents face-to-face, many parents shared that they appreciated the ability to connect from home or work. We will consider this feedback as we plan future conference days. Teachers were deeply appreciative that so many parents were able to attend. The second day of Parent/Teacher conferences is scheduled for the coming Tuesday, and students in grades K-6 will dismiss at 11:30.
This week children in second grade are writing about their learning as readers. It is great to see students share their ideas about the importance of sounding out their words (phonics) when reading and learning new books!
Our fifth grade students have been applying previously learned math skills to decimal numbers. As older students learn to add, subtract, and round numbers with decimals, they are developing skills that are critical for measurement, comparing values, and of course… using money.
As a reminder, the PTA is holding the Scholastic Book Fair this coming week (your child’s teacher will share what day their class will be visiting the book fair). Parents are invited to shop on Thursday Evening 5:30-7:00pm. Please take advantage of the Scholastic e-wallet so you don’t have to send cash to school with your child.
Also, Caring Kids has started their annual hat and mitten drive. Donations can be made until December 17th. Students are enjoying putting their gifted items on the trees in the main hallway.
We are looking forward to our Winter Concerts on December 21st. We are excited to open our building (for a limited number of guests) for these special events, and we ask families to review all Covid related directions so we can maintain a safe environment for all.
Sincerely,
Peter Mahan
Elementary Principal
The Holiday Card-Making Service Project is having far more success than ever imagined. Over 200 cards have been made for the elderly. Students are excited to spread some joy and holiday cheer this year! Envelopes are being stuffed and sealed with a homemade sticker.
Today, Mrs. Moylan's classes kicked off this year's Holiday Card-Making Event! All week, students will be making cards that will be delivered through Greene County's Meals on Wheels program, as well as being distributed at local Nursing Homes.
FFA will be hosting their annual Open House on Saturday, December 4th from 9:00am to 3:00pm under the white tent located next to the high school. The students have many items available: wreaths, swags, centerpieces, kissing balls and mini gnomes. You may also pick up your pre-orders on Saturday.
Thank you for your support!
