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.
We are hopeful that all students will have their photo taken for the 2020-2021 yearbook. A Lifetouch photographer will be at Greenleaf on Wednesday, March 10, for students who missed our first picture day earlier this year, and also for students who need a picture retake.
Digital Academy students may come to school and enter at the main entrance for photos or retakes between 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. In-person learners will be able to have photos taken after lunch.
