Kiss & Ride Reminder

As we approach the end of the school year, we'd like to remind families to please remain in their vehicles during Kiss & Ride drop-off. This helps keep traffic moving safely and efficiently for everyone.

Students should exit independently at the curb where staff members are available to assist as needed. When drivers park or exit their vehicles in the Kiss & Ride lane, it creates delays and safety concerns for other families.

Thank you for helping us keep arrival safe and smooth for everyone!


Yearbook Sales — Limited Copies Available

There are a limited number of yearbooks still for sale on a first come, first serve basis. Yearbooks are $20 (cash or check made out to Greenbriar East). They can be purchased in the front office. 


Keep Looking for Those Library Books!

Thanks for helping us track down overdue library books! With your help, we've reduced the number of missing books from about 1,200 to just 680. We're making great progress, and we are hoping to get the final books returned before the last day!

If your student still has library books at home, please keep looking and send them back to school as soon as possible.

Overdue notices were sent home with students today. Be sure to check your child's backpack for a paper notice showing any books that are still checked out.


End-of-Year Medication Pick-Up Reminder

All student medications must be picked up from the Health Room by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.

  • Parents/guardians are required to pick up medications. Medications will not be sent home with students.
  • Medications may be picked up before June 17 during regular Health Room hours: Monday–Friday, 9:15 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
