Principal's Message:

Dear GBW Families,

Although the beginning of the next school year may seem far away, we are already beginning our planning for classroom assignments for the 2025-2026 school year. To assist in this process, each year we like to provide families the opportunity to share some information about your child by completing the Student Survey Form. The Student Survey Form will be sent to families via a Talking Points message. Please be on the lookout for this communication.

Please note that we do not accept requests for a particular teacher. Your feedback will be shared with the entire committee (admin, classroom teachers, counselors, support staff & specialists) when we collaboratively make our class placements.

When our committee makes our class placements, we will use a complex set of data including academic needs, social / emotional / behavioral needs, teacher feedback, and will also include parent feedback from this form. Our commitment to the community is that we will read and consider this feedback when making class placements so that we ensure all students are successful next year.

Please complete this form no later Friday, May 23rd, 2025. Any feedback received after this date will not be used in our class placement meetings.

Thank you,

Mr. Blount and Mrs. Odom

Dear GBW PTA,

On behalf of Greenbriar West ES, we are thrilled to invite each of you to our annual GBW Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast on May 30, 2025.
