Mission: Empowering a community of learners and leaders.
Greenland Elementary was established over 60 years ago. Located in the heart of Oconomowoc, Greenland is within walking distance of Fowler Lake and Lac La Belle. Visit Greenland on a beautiful day, and you will understand why it is considered the quintessential neighborhood school. Families and children gather on the green spaces and playground before and after school.
Greenland’s community of learning and leaders is made up of approximately 255 outstanding students, 58 dedicated, caring staff, and an incredibly involved parent community. We also have a Nationally Board Certified teacher on staff and more than 5 staff members with Master’s Degrees and a few working towards a Master’s Degree. Students enrolled at Greenland range from 4-year-old kindergarten to 4th grade. Greenland’s parent community is committed to the success of both the students and the staff. Parents regularly volunteer in classrooms, accompany students on field trips, attend family events, and have generously donated thousands of dollars to support Greenland. This year, we thank the PTO and the Greenland community for raising enough money for phase 1 of replacing playground equipment. We would not have been able to make these things happen if it were not for our very talented, hardworking, and generous PTO and families. The PTO has organized and sponsored the following events: Movie Night, the Fun Run, Book Fairs, Book Swaps, the School Dance, and the Science Fair.
Greenland has been recognized by the Department of Public Instruction, as well as, the Wisconsin RTI Center. In the 2021-2022 school year, we were recognized by the Wisconsin RtI Center with a Silver recognition for behavior and a bronze recognition for reading and math. Greenland has received the Wisconsin Title 1 School of Recognition Award for expanding the implementation of a multi-leveled system of support for improving student outcomes. In 2022, the Herb Kohl Foundation presented Greenland the Vanguard Award for fostering high-quality learning opportunities that drive success for students and teachers.
Students at Greenland have been able to expand their horizons by participating in clubs such as: Running Club, Minecraft Club, Writing Club, and the Best Buddies Friendship Club.
Greenland embraces PBIS, Positive Behavior Interventions, and Supports. Staff takes a proactive approach to develop students’ social skills.
The 2022-2023 school year promises to be an exciting journey. We are looking forward to working as a “TEAM”, Together Everyone Achieves More. Please feel free to call, email, or stop by the office. I look forward to serving the students, families, and staff of Greenland Elementary.
Sincerely,
Shannon McCaffery
Greenland Principal
