Welcome To Our School

The Eugene J. Gribbin Primary School was built in 1966. Our school was named after Mr. Gribbin, a former principal at Glen Cove High School as well as a Superintendent for the district in 1941. Mr. Gribbin's name was synonymous with education in Glen Cove for many years.

Currently Gribbin School houses 300 students in grades k-2.

The entire staff is dedicated to educating and nurturing the whole child. We strive for a safe and secure environment where every child is encouraged to excel.

"The lesson you teach today is not confined to the walls of the classroom. Once it is implanted in the heart and mind of a child it can change the world".

Gribbin donates 207 pounds of food

For the 10th consecutive year, Gribbin Elementary took part in the Souper Bowl of Caring food drive. Students, faculty and staff collected 207 pounds of non-perishable food items over a two-week period.

The Souper Bowl of Caring is a youth inspired, youth-led movement that works with schools, churches, local businesses, corporations, passionate individuals and NFL teams in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl to help generate food and resources at a critical time of year when charities are reporting a decrease in volunteers and donations.

The Gribbin school donated 100% of the collected food items to the food pantry at the Church of St. Rocco.

Second Grade Learns about MLK Jr.

The observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day earlier this month was the subject of a special lesson for Ms. Coleen Brunhuber’s second grade class. Students utilized iPads to research the life, work and character traits of MLK and following their research were put into groups to complete four different units each utilizing grammar, writing and reading skills. The first group wrote about Dr. King’s character traits and gave evidence of his life’s work to prove them. The second unit wrote acrostic poems using the word LEADER, while the third unit wrote facts about his early life. The fourth unit entailed each second grade student to write about Dr. King and one lesson they learned from him.
