News & Events

Greenacres Elementary Pocatello in the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 is non-rural, K-5 school that enrolls around 300 students.

This t-shirt was accompanied by a letter from Community Resource Worker Delilah Williams, LSW, CRW, who highlighted a few aspects of her school’s culture.

“Learning and good things happen every day.”

“Families are supported by access to food, school supplies ad extra supports if needed during the school year.”

Last year, testing kicked off with “the students being taught how to line dance... Greenacres has a wonderful talent show, field day, career day, science fair and so much more.” Delilah also wrote that “an added bonus at the school is that the principal, Mr. Wilson, is bilingual and you can often hear him talking with parents in Spanish.”

Wow! What a gift this letter was. Thank you for sharing some of the amazing things happening in Pocatello, Delilah. We can’t say it better than you did:

“Green is for greatness, go getters and Greenacres!”

Mrs. Eldredge’s 5th grade class at Greenacres Elementary lit things up with a “Glow Party” last week to gear up for the ISATs — and the kids had an absolute blast!

One student even said, “This was the best day ever, Mrs. Eldredge!”

Wishing all of our amazing learners the best of luck as they take the ISATs this week.

Greenacres hosted a career day with the Life Flight helicopter landing on our playground between 12:00 - 12:15pm on Thursday, May 16th. We also had career representatives from Law Enforcement, ICCU, the Forest Service, Pocatello Fire Department, ISU College of Technology, the ISEE STEM Center and others speaking to our students. This was a fun way for learners to discover more about their dream jobs.

Dear Greenacres Mustangs,

We are getting to the end of an excellent school year and our testing window is starting. Thank you for doing your best this year. While test scores are important for us see how we are doing, they don’t tell us the whole story. Test scores don’t show what makes our students special and unique.

Students: Test scores do not show that you are a good friend. They do not show that your smile can brighten someone else’s day. They do not show that you are good brother or sister. They do not show that despite dealing with bad circumstances, you come to school with a smile and try your best.

Tests don’t show that you can tell a really good story or that you love spending time (baking, hunting, fishing, singing, hiking) with special family members. Tests do not show that you can be trustworthy, kind, or thoughtful. Tests do not show that you try every day to be your very best.

Test scores will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything. There are many ways of being smart. You ARE smart! Keep working hard. You ARE enough! You are the light that brightens our day at school. When you see your test scores, remember that there is no way to “test” all the amazing and awesome things that make you YOU! All we ask is that you do your best on these tests.

Parents and Patrons: Please give us your feedback. Please email, call or visit with me in person. I want to work with you to resolve any concerns so that our district can be a place everyone is proud of.

 

Thank you,

Dr. Joel Wilson

Greenacres Elementary Principal

On Time, In School, Every Day! 

Keep the Joy Hold the Routine

Every Day Matters

December brings joy and holiday excitement - but don't let routines slide! Keeping consistent school attendance help learners stay connected and focused. Mark holiday events on the calendar and build in reminders for school days.

Let's finish the calendar year strong with the message that learning, laughter, and belonging happen across PCSD 25 every single day.

Across PCSD 25, our schools took time to recognize and thank the brave men and women who have served our nation. Here’s a look at some of the special Veterans Day assemblies and activities that took place.

When learners feel prepared and supported, they show up to school confident and ready. 

Create reliable morning and evening routines. Prep lunchboxes, backpacks, and outfits the night before to avoid morning stres. Staying "On Time, In School, Every Day" helps learners keep up -- and stand out.

With top notch teachers (from national awards to local recognition!) and future-ready programs, PCSD 25 is where success begins.

Because in PCSD 25, you belong here -- and Every Day Matters.
