A message from Superintendent Michael Bennett:
Greenville Central School District is always looking for ways to improve our schools and ensure that every student, teacher, and staff member feels supported, valued, and engaged. To that end, we are conducting our annual perception survey and we need your feedback.
We want to hear from you about how our students are doing, what you enjoy about our schools, and what is or isn’t working. We also want to know what you envision for the future of Greenville, and how we can align our efforts to achieve our district mission of ensuring that everyone learns, teaches, and belongs. Your input will help us identify areas of strength and areas that need improvement.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey appropriate to your child/children’s school building(s). Survey links will be open until April 30. We will use this feedback to guide our efforts as we work to create a positive and supportive learning environment for all students.
Your input is truly important and valued in our process as we reflect and focus our work to keep moving Greenville Central School District in a positive direction. Remember, this is your opportunity to share your thoughts and help shape the future of our schools.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Take our annual perception survey: https://www.greenvillecsd.org/page/annual-perception-survey

🌎 Yesterday Ms. Burke's Spanish classes welcomed a guest speaker from El Salvador!
Carolina shared a presentation with middle and high school students about El Salvador's history and culture, what it was like to grow up in Central America, and her experience coming to the United States.
Students especially enjoyed learning about the different meanings words can take on. Carolina explained that sometimes Spanish words in El Salvador mean something completely different in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Columbia, or other Spanish-speaking countries. Students learned about different variations of Spanish, and how easily misunderstandings can happen!
Interested in learning more? Here are 5 facts Carolina shared about El Salvador!
1️⃣ El Salvadorians eat tortillas with everything.
2️⃣ Instead of pronouncing the letter "S" like in English, people in El Salvador pronounce “S” the letter like a "J." Take the word "Salud" for example. In El Salvador, it would be pronounced: "Jalud."
3️⃣ Everyone has to have a nickname, it's like an unwritten rule. Nicknames are given by schoolmates, and they are usually something funny that has to do with physical appearance or characteristics. Carolina and Ms. Burke both shared that their nicknames came from cartoon characters that they (sort of) resembled as kids. And these nick names stick for life!
4️⃣ The national dish of El Salvador is called "Pupusa." It's like a thick corn tortilla that can be stuffed with different fillings. People eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and never get tired of them!
5️⃣El Salvadorians have their own version of Spanish called "Caliche." It's a vernacular derived from Spanish that has unique colloquialisms, local slang terms, and common El Salvadorian expressions.
Thanks for stopping in, Carolina!
Marcus McGregor joined middle and high school gym classes to teach students about dance! At 10 years old, Marcus took his first class and at 14 he joined his first ballet company. He was a company member for three different ballet companies, including the Hartford Ballet, for 20 years.
Now, Marcus shares his passion by teaching students in Greene County schools how to dance! Greenville students learned a choreographed routine and ended the class by participating in a dance circle.
Students learned that dance is all about moving to music, and they can’t wait for their next lesson!
