Greenview Community School District

We are continuing to push ahead in the school year and very proud we are keeping things going. We have great days and tough days but we make the best of it. The Greenview staff has worked very hard to keep things best we can during the pandemic and trying to limit impact to students. All schools are facing staffing issues these days and we can’t thank the staff enough for all the unexpected ways everyone has stepped up. The care and effort of our staff is exceptional! The last few weeks have been difficult but worth keeping our students in school. If you may be interested in subbing at school please consider reaching out to Mr. Hoerbert or Mr. Heavner. We would be happy to chat about opportunities we have. We have a variety of roles to fill and can provide training to help you be successful. We have amazing students and staff members and we would be glad to have more people come on board and join us. We thank our families and community members for hanging in there with us during these bizarre times. We are looking forward to a great 3rd quarter ahead! As always if we can help please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you all for making our school a great place! -Mr. Heavner

We are proud of our students who made 2nd Quarter Honor Roll! Keep up the good work, Bulldogs!

This morning after a discussion with the county health department we have been informed of some COVID isolation and quarantine updates: -Students or staff that are positive or exposed can now return to school after 5 days from a positive test or the onset of symptoms. -Students and staff that return must wear a mask for 5 days after their return. -As testing supplies are now low in many areas we will only be testing people that display COVID symptoms. We will do our best to test community members we can. If you need help please email covid@greenviewschools.org -We are anticipating some further updates soon. These changes are a positive development to help keep our school open for students. Our staff is working hard to give students the best effort we can. We will update everyone as we get further clarification.

We are making a few adjustments to the school calendar. As of today, students will now return on Wednesday, January 5th.
