Hello Greenspire Community –
All families should have received an email this morning with a link to complete a commitment form for our return to in-person learning beginning on Tuesday, January 26th. Please complete this form by Thursday, January 14th at 11:59 pm so that we can begin to finalize schedules over the weekend and get students placed in pods. We are excited to have students back on campus very soon!
School Closings
In the event of a school closing, you will be notified by…
- Banner announcement on the top of the Greenspire homepage
- An email to our school community
- Listing on 9 & 10 News and 7 & 4 News
In the past, Greenspire has closed with TCAPS, however that will not necessarily be the case going forward as we have slightly different schedules and COVID-19 closures may affect in-person attendance. Going forward, we will be listed by ourselves on 9 & 10 and 7 & 4.
Student Support Council
The next Student Support Council meeting is Monday, January 11th at 7:00 pm.
Here is the link to join…
You can always find the link to the Student Support Council’s website in the Toolbox section under Helpful Resources.
