Celebrating the Heart of GBW:
Teacher &Staff Appreciation Week
Dear GBW Community,
As we reach the final day of Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible outpouring of support shown to our staff over the past few days. It has been a truly heartwarming week at Greenbriar West.
We want to extend a massive thank you to our amazing PTA. Throughout the entire week, they have spoiled our staff with a variety of special treats and thoughtful gestures. These moments of appreciation have brought so many smiles to our hallways and served as a beautiful reminder of how much this community values our teachers, staff, and front office. We especially loved how every treat, from the Dirty Soda Bar to the Breakfast Bar, perfectly matched our favorite storybook themes. Your generosity truly made us feel like the heroes of the story, and we are so grateful for all the color you bring to our school.
Today the PTA ended the week with a culminating event by hosting our Baked Potato Bar with Salads! It provided a wonderful time of fellowship and food for our team. Mrs. Odom and I feel incredibly blessed to lead such kind, hardworking, and dedicated educators who love and support our students. The work we do collaboratively as a GBW family is deeply important, and we genuinely believe we are making a significant impact on our students' lives each day. Within these walls, our children are learning essential life skills, discovering the joy of reading, learning the core foundations of advanced mathematics, and growing into kind and caring individuals.
To our GBW Teachers and Staff, each of you is incredibly talented, and we consider it a great honor to serve alongside you. Thank you for your unwavering heart and for everything you do to make this school a home for our Pandas. You are the heartbeat of GBW, and we are so proud of the work you do.
To our families, thank you for joining us this week in celebrating our amazing staff. Happy Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week everyone!
With deep appreciation,
Mr. Blount and Mrs. Odom
Student Survey Form
Dear GBW Families,
Although the beginning of the next school year may seem far away, we are already planning for classroom assignments for the 2026-2027 school year. To assist in this process, each year we like to provide families the opportunity to share information about their child by completing the Student Survey. Your feedback will be shared with the entire committee (principal, assistant principal, classroom teachers, counselors, support staff & specialists) when we collaboratively make our class placements.
Please note that we do not accept requests for a particular teacher.
When our committee makes our class placements, we will use a complex set of data including academic needs, social / emotional / behavioral needs, teacher feedback, and will also include parent feedback from this form. Our commitment to the community is that we will read and consider this feedback when making class placements so that we ensure all students are successful next year.
Please complete the Student Survey Form by no later Thursday, May 21st, 2026. Any feedback received after this date will not be used in our class placement meetings.
Thank you,
Mr. Blount and Mrs. Odom
