Greenwood Elementary School

From bandaging scraped knees in kindergarten to helping middle schoolers manage test anxiety with breathing strategies, and prioritizing healthy, safe environments, school-based nurses support students in many meaningful ways. Our students benefit from regular care provided by highly qualified professionals, and we are incredibly grateful for the dedicated nurses who serve our schools each day. Thank you Nurse Amy and Nurse Jacey for all that you do! #alwaysanlgtiger #lagrandetigers

From bandaging scraped knees in kindergarten to practicing breathing exercises with middle schoolers experiencing test anxiety, and prioritizing healthy spaces, school-based nurses support schools in many ways. Thanks to our partnership with IMESD, students in our schools receive care from qualified personnel on a regular basis. We are so grateful for the wonderful nurses serving our schools.

Some lessons last a lifetime, and so does the memory of the people who teach them. The impact of having an amazing teacher can never be erased. To all our incredible teachers: We see you and we appreciate you.

Kindergarten Round-Up is this Thursday, April 23rd from 5 pm to 7 pm at Willow/District Office located at 1305 N Willow Street. Come get signed up to be a Tiger!
