Greystone Elementary School is a PK-5 school located in the urban ring community of North Providence. Greystone has a strong neighborhood identity, as a number of families walk their children to school and gather in our recess yard each morning. The mission of Greystone Elementary is to promote and sustain the development of its students, in a safe and challenging environment by identifying and meeting the needs of individual students, so all may attain academic success. Our team of teachers and support professionals believe all students can succeed.
At Greystone, students are encouraged to put forth their best effort and display positive character traits. Students do not go unrecognized when they display respect, responsibility and safety to self and others. Greystone students are fortunate to participate in a number of afterschool activities ran by our active PTA, as well as a number of teachers and support professionals. Activities include a Grades 4 and 5 Drama Club, 1:1 basketball, karate, yearbook, a book club, and homework academies to name a few! We also have Kids Klub at Greystone, which provides before and after school care to assist our working parents.
Greystone’s population changes rather quickly. We often are welcoming new families to our school throughout the school year. It is fair to say we have a high proportion of student mobility when compared to other schools in our district.
Greystone students engage in a curriculum based on the Common Core Standards. Teachers use a variety of materials to help meet the needs of all learners including My Math, Fundations, FOSS Science Kits, and IXL. Each student in grades 3-5 has a Chromebook which allows us to personalize learning! The Greystone school community certainly recognizes the importance of creating a strong foundation for students in order for them to achieve academic success.
