Dear Greenway Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year and thank you for choosing Greenway for your child’s elementary education. It is my pleasure to welcome your family to our school’s warm and welcoming community. I want to assure you that we are devoted to maximizing your child’s educational experience during their time here at Greenway Elementary and we look forward to another exciting school year here on campus.

School days at Greenway are filled with core academic classes that fully align with Arizona State Standards. In addition, your child’s education is enhanced with several programs that we strongly believe in at Greenway. All students’ educational experiences will be supported by the AVID Framework, designed to help students develop fundamental classroom skills such as note-taking and organizational systems. In addition, our staff has worked to build a positive school culture aligned with the Capturing Kids’ Hearts framework. Such a commitment has resulted in Greenway Elementary being a nationally recognized Capturing Kids’ Hearts Showcase School for the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 school years. Finally, your child will also attend specials once a day which include physical education, art, library, and technology to broaden their learning experiences in their time here with us.

Furthermore, we recognize the importance of parent/guardian involvement in the success of your child’s academics. One of the best ways families can become involved is by making sure their child arrives at school on time every day. Essential learning starts as soon as students walk into their classrooms and content often builds on the lesson from the previous day. As a result, attendance and punctuality are key to a successful academic experience.

It is our honor to serve the families of Bisbee, and we very much are looking forward to ensuring a successful school year for every student. It’s my pleasure to serve as your child’s principal and I look forward to assisting your family in any way that I can.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Vertrees
