Good evening,
Greene County Elementary, including our 3-year-old PreSchool classroom, will be closed on Friday, April 5th, 2024 due to widespread illness among staff members. As of the sending of this message, nearly 50% of the staff is absent due to illness or another planned event. Since our main priority, before learning, is safety, we need to ensure an appropriate number of staff are available to serve and support our students.
Both the Middle School and High School will have classes as regularly scheduled for the day.
For our elementary students; please stay home, stay safe, and have a great weekend.
Thank you,
