Welcome!
At Greenleaf Elementary, we provide an orderly, safe environment with high-quality instruction and high expectations, where students experience rewarding, meaningful learning each day.
Music
Music brings Greenleaf students together. To encourage their musical development and connect with your child, ask your child to play an instrument, sing a song with you, or listen to music together. Keep connecting through music.
Teamwork & Technology
We provide our students many opportunities to collaborate with classmates and integrate technology into their learning. Students are learning skills that will prepare them for the future.
Supporting Our Students
One of our goals at Greenleaf is to support each student's individual learning needs. We offer a wide variety of student support services and small group opportunities aimed at helping all students meet and exceed their learning goals.
