Ivan Green Weekly Update

May 24, 2024

Welcome from Mr. Hiley

Dear Ivan Green Families:

This was a great week at Ivan Green! The weather was gorgeous, the Book Fair was happening, we had TONS of families in for lunch, AND Bubbleman was here for an assembly. Plus, we are hatching chicks, still learning, and enjoying the final countdown with just 20 school days left.

We will be taking our second grade group photo next week, a long-standing Ivan Green tradition. Here is the link for ordering purposes: https://5il.co/2mfyl

Enjoy this long holiday weekend as we honor the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our daily freedom. Happy Memorial Day and unofficial kick-off of summer!

Sincerely,

Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.
Principal

Medication Pick-Up from Health Office

Medication pickup this year will be on June 25th and June 26th due to the last day of school being a Monday and Fun Day! I will send out reminders the week prior. If medication isn’t picked up by end of day on June 26th, it will be disposed of per New York State Safe Medication Disposal in Schools procedures. June is also a great month to contact providers for new medication orders, as they are good for 1 year and you will avoid the August/September rush, where paperwork tends to get lost
