Welcome to the Greenland Parent Organization!

Project Manager Needed for 2024/25

We are SO CLOSE to keeping our Greenland Parents group thriving into next year! We are in need of a volunteer to commit to the role of Project Manager. Role responsibilities include (mostly) admin work that can be done remotely – the PM oversees the calendar of events, creates GPO meeting agendas, and collaborates with the GP Accountant and Project Admin. The role can be what you make of it, and it can be shared! Please fill out this FORM to share your interest in offering remote time, in person volunteering, or a combination of both. We are so grateful to all those parents who have taken the time to consider supporting our efforts.

In lieu of the February GPO meeting, the Board hosted a casual, engaging event – with raffles and treats – for all parents to learn about the future of our parent organization. Details included updates to its structure and how we hope to continue meaningful support for our school in today’s world. Without a connected “Greenland Parents” team, the parent organization will dissolve at the end of this school year. We don’t want that to happen to our children, beloved teachers, or our community.

ICAC Presentation on April 1, 2024

Lieutenant Eric Kinsman of Portsmouth Police Department and Commander of the ICAC task force (International Crimes Against Children) will give an informational presentation at GCS on April 1 from 6:00-7:30 pm. Childcare will be provided. This presentation is eye opening and Lt. Kinsman is available for all your questions related to internet safety. We hope to see you there.

Learn about the dangers that face teens every day. In doing so, we’ll discuss how computers, cell phones, iPads, digital cameras, gaming systems, social networking applications, and internet blogs all play a role in placing students and families at risk. This 1.5 hour presentation is specifically geared towards parents, educators and community leaders who are looking to better understand the technology available to teens today and the way in which child predators use it to exploit them.

Volunteers Needed for 2023/24

About

The GPO coordinates volunteer activities within the Greenland Central School. These serve two purposes:

We bring students, families, and faculty together to help our Viking community thrive!
We raise funds to subsidize enrichment activities for all students to access.

We appreciate and believe in the passionate, dedicated teachers who help our children grow and learn everyday. As parents and guardians, it is our important role to support the faculty by providing tools and funds to purchase supplemental materials as needed.

Board Meeting Schedule

GPO meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday* of each month from 6:30 -7:30 p.m in the library media center, unless otherwise noted. All parents and guardians are invited to attend to listen and share ideas that support our mission.
