Principal’s Message:
It is with immense pride that I dedicate this principal’s message to celebrate our Performing Arts young musicians, as well as our student audience at Greenspun’s Annual Fine Arts Concert this week.
Firstly, I am so proud of our student audience for the level of respect they showed to our Performing Arts musicians. Their proper concert etiquette made me smile as they listened attentively and showed their appreciation for each performance. Their behavior was a testament to how wonderful our Greenspun students are as they assisted in creating an atmosphere of encouragement for the performers.
Secondly, I can’t even think of enough adjectives to describe the outstanding performances of the Fine Arts students
As the art department, band, choir, orchestra, and color guard came together to present a showcase of their outstanding talent, once again, I couldn’t stop smiling. Each of their performances warmed my heart and reminded me how talented and amazing these kids are!
I have said this countless times and am saying it again. “These kids are second to none! I appreciate their dedication and strong work ethic because I know that they spend endless hours preparing for their award-winning competitions and excellent performances.
To both performers and the student audience, thank you for making me smile. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing student greatness, and I am proud to be your principal!

Events & Honors:
SBAC and Science CRT Testing: Your child is scheduled to participate in the yearly spring administration of the Nevada Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRT). CRTs are administered to students in Grades 3–8. These assessments measure whether your child is on track for college and career readiness and how well they understand the Nevada Academic Content Standards in both English language arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Students in Grades 5, 8, and 9 will also participate in the Science CRT. Online CRT testing consists of both computer adaptive tests (CAT) and fixed-form performance tasks (PT). This is a state-mandated assessment your child must participate in each spring.
Please ensure your child is in attendance on testing days in order to complete this required assessment.
If you have questions or concerns about this assessment, please contact Assistant Principal Katja Hermes.
Rock the SBAC: Do you want to win an Electric scooter, Nike Air Jordan, Adidas Yeezy Sliders, Gift Cards, Aviator tickets, Area 15 tickets and much, much more? Read Achieve articles and complete math activities on Next Gen or Pear Deck assigned by your teacher. A score of 75% or higher on the first attempt will receive one ticket per activity for our Grand Prize Raffle on April 22. So, get a head start and do some activities during Spring Break. The more activities completed, the more chances to win these awesome prizes.
Postural Screening: Postural screening, as required by Nevada State Law, will be conducted by school nurses in your child’s school on Friday April 4, 2025; this screening is only for 6th grade girls and 8th grade boys. The purpose of postural screening is to detect signs of abnormal spinal development so that the need for treatment can be determined. For this screening, boys and girls will be seen separately. Privacy will be maintained within the constraints of the school setting. Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. Most cases of spinal curvature are mild, but may become progressively more severe as the child continues to grow. Early treatment can prevent the development of a severe deformity, which can later affect the health and appearance of the child. You will be notified only if a possible abnormality is observed and follow-up is necessary. This screening does not replace your child’s need for regular health care and check-ups. If you do not want your child to have a postural screening at school, please notify the school nurse at ebertr@nv.ccsd.net. Thank you
