Good afternoon, T-Bird families! I hope everyone had a great first week of school! Thank you to our students, families, and staff for helping us get the year off to a great start. As we begin another week, we are still working hard with transportation to get bus assignments finalized for all of our students. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process. A couple of reminders for this week: No soccer practice tomorrow. They will resume on Tuesday. Football, volleyball and cheer will practice tomorrow. On Thursday, we will have our Fall Sports Parent Night at 4:55 PM in the gym. On Friday, we will have our Back-to-School Dance from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. Admission is $5, and concessions will be available for purchase. Thank you again for your patience and support during our first week. We’re looking forward to another great week at Greenwood Middle School. Have a great T-Bird week, and remember our motto, One Team. One Mission. Soar to Success! Mr. Presley

Athletics Correction:

There will be no football, soccer, or cheer practice today. Volleyball will be the only team practicing.

I personally apologize for the confusion regarding today’s practice schedule. Timely and accurate communication is important, and we will do a better job of keeping our families informed moving forward. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Principal Presley

Athletics Update:

There will be no soccer or cheer practice today. Volleyball and football tryouts will continue as scheduled. We apologize for any confusion.
