May Newsletter

 Happy May Gator Families!

Can you believe we are in our last full month of the year!?  If there were ever a time to be kind, this is the year for it!  As we dive into our final full month of school, we will be focusing on kindness.  

At Green Tree, we try hard as a staff to influence our school culture for the better- and that includes using all the skills we teach and practice throughout the year. Demonstrating empathy and compassion, practicing inclusion and acceptance, and showing kindness are all part of what it takes to be a gator.  All year the students have demonstrated these skills and we hope they continue to show their excellent use of these skills to you at home!  As we focus on kindness this month, we will share resources for the home connection should you be interested in ideas outside of the school setting.  If you would like more resources, do not hesistate to contact me, our school counselor, or your child's classroom teacher for more ideas to try at home!

The night of the meeting, we recommend parking in the back of the building off of 15th avenue and coming in door 2 or parking along Silverbrook drive and coming in the main entrance. We will meet in the cafeteria, right inside the main entrance. After the 30 minute presentation, you will have the opportunity to do a self-guided tour of the main hallway and 5th grade areas. We will have staff stationed along the way to answer questions. The entire evening will last less than one hour.
