Education Plan

On your daily walk, you may see Greendale students in the woods a lot more this coming school year. Registered as an official Wisconsin School Forest in 2013, staff developed an Education Plan that includes specific lessons to get students outside in different type of learning space--the woods! Please feel free to give our students and teachers a wave if you’re walking past one of our outdoor lessons.

Every registered Wisconsin school forest has an Education Plan to guide decisions regarding its maintenance and use for students' learning experiences. Our Education Plan was written by a team of GSD teachers representing our schools across grade spans who had passion and dedication for students' learning in the woods. Our final draft incorporated feedback from staff before it was approved by the School Board in December 2016. Our current Education Plan can be read on this site. The committee will continually gather feedback to revise our plan as needed in the coming years.
