Here is our weekly update of events and information for Greystone Centennial Middle School. 

Parent Teacher Interviews

As mentioned last week, our fall Parent Teacher Interviews will run on October 23 and 24 from 4-7PM. Teachers should have reached out earlier this week regarding instructions on how to book. If times are full, please reach out to your child's teacher to find an alternative time to discuss your child's progress. There are a few cohorts that are running on Monday and Wednesday due to coaching duties for our extracurricular programs.

Please respect the interview time slots, as schedules are tight and will likely be full.

Individual Education Plans

If your child has an Individual Education Plan, you should have received or will be receiving an email to review and sign the IEP. It is very important that we have your input, feedback, and consent, as this is our legal documentation of additional supports that are put in place for your child. The IEP review and consent is done within the PowerSchool parent portal, and not on the App. If you are having trouble accessing the IEP, please contact your child's teacher.

Book Fair - repeat

The In-School Book Fair will run from October 18-25. It will be open during library blocks, break times, and during Parent Teacher Interviews. There will be daily prizes and a family draw.

Remembrance Day - repeat

For our upcoming Remembrance Day ceremony at Greystone, we invite families to submit photos of loved ones who have served or are currently serving their country. This includes members of the Cadets, Army, Navy, Girl Guides, and other organizations. Please forward photos to Patty Nicholls at patricia.nicholls@psd.ca

Photos are being accepted until November 1st.

Kinette Christmas Hampers - repeat

Once again as the holiday season approaches, the Spruce Grove Kinette volunteers are working toward the 51st Annual Christmas Hamper campaign. Last year donations were able to assist 710 families in Spruce Grove and East Parkland!  In the spirit of giving and in hopes of making this season a little brighter for those in need Greystone will be collecting new, unwrapped toys (for children aged 17 and under) and gift cards. 

Items will be accepted until Friday, December 13th at Greystone Centennial Middle School, so that they can be sent to the Kinette collection site and distributed to families in need this Christmas. 

Thank you so much for all of the support to the local Christmas Hamper Campaign that makes such a difference to families in our community! 

Career Fair - repeat

Dear Parents, Grandparents and Friends of Greystone,

Greystone School is planning our 2nd annual CAREER FAIR event for our grade 7-9’s on Thursday, January 30th, 2025 (9:30-12:30). Greystone’s Career Fair Committee is asking parents, community members and friends to come in and speak about their career choice and give students an insight to a career that they may have never considered or already have an interest in and want to find out more.

If you would be interested in being one of our presenters for the day please email Janie Scheidl at janie.scheidl@psd.ca with your name, career, a brief description of what you do, and a phone number at which you can be contacted.  You may also leave a message with reception in the general office.  If you are able to volunteer your time, we would be so grateful.  Refreshments will be provided.
