A+ PROGRAM Grandview R-2 School District has decided to
start the process of applying for A+ designation with the state of Missouri.
The A+ program in Missouri allows for students to attend state community
colleges tuition free for two years. Some four year universities also grant aid
for successful graduates of the program. The application process takes a
minimum of three years and requires school assurances that the curriculum,
administration, and support of the school district are sufficient to meet
stringent guidelines set forth by the state.
ELEMENTARY PARKING REMINDER: Parents that pick students up from the elementary school on a regular
basis need to get a number from the elementary office and display that number
in the passenger side window. Please stay in a single line to avoid accidents.
The safest way to pick up the children is to follow the above procedure. If you
must pick your child up from the gym, please use the yellow walkway parallel to
the elementary building, go through the playground and use the crosswalk to
enter into the middle school parking lot at the East end of the Middle School
building. Thank you for keeping the children safe.
