Green Year
Round Elementary School promotes core ethical values as the basis of
good character and encourages students
to show character in their thinking, feelings, and behavior. We as a school
community share responsibility for character education and adhere to
the same
core values that guide the education of students. Green Year Round Elementary
School welcomes parents and community members as full partners in our
