Middle School New Families

Welcome to Middle School

SUSAN PALMER
HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL 

I’m delighted to welcome you to Greenhill and to the Middle School!

We are planning welcome events and activities to ensure that your transition is a smooth one, and I’ll be sharing important dates and need-to-know details with you soon. Also, watch your email for invitations to grade-level-specific transition nights and academic testing dates (grades 6-8 only). You will have a busy spring!

In the Middle School, we share in your excitement about the adventure ahead. You will soon experience the energy and connection that is part of Greenhill as we provide your student with a range of opportunities to build skills, foster collaboration, respond with wonder, and develop friendships. We know and value our Middle School students and see in them both potential and immediate gifts.

We are honored by your trust, and we are ready to get to know your family and your Middle School student. Looking forward to connecting soon!

Technology

At Greenhill, we have a 1:1 device program for students in prekindergarten through twelfth grade. Fifth through twelfth grades are issued a laptop to use throughout the school year. Because we want to ensure the devices our students use support learning in the classroom, the cost of classroom technology is incorporated into tuition.
