Formerly known as the Free and Reduced-Price Meals Program, applications are more than just for meals but also provide your school with critical funding.
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. During our distance learning days, ask your child to play an instrument, sing a song with you, or listen to music together. Keep connecting through music.
Teamwork & Technology!
At Greenleaf Elementary, we provide our students many opportunities to collaborate with classmates and integrate technology into their learning. Whether they are working in our Makerspace, creating items for our 3D printers, or using robotics, our 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.
