Grandview R-2

Good times tonight at the Book Fair Literacy Night. The book fair runs through Thursday, November 16.

At tonight's Literacy Night a new Buddy Bench was dedicated to Ms. Jackie Sewald.

We have a quick schedule correction. The elementary book fair Family Literacy Night tonight runs from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is asking Eagle Nation, along with all districts, to fill out a School Climate Survey. Please take a few minutes to follow the link and fill out this totally anonymous survey. https://bit.ly/Parent-Climate-Survey23

Those after school activities and games are starting to ramp back up. Family Literacy Night is always a good time

Times like these makes us reflect, thank, and honor all those who have served to keep us safe and free.

Earlier, we had drawings of all the families that returned the Free or Reduced Lunch Forms. The winners have picked up their $100 Walmart gift cards. Those families were the Black Family, the Pemberton/Thurmon Family, and the Rousan Family.

The Women's Basketball team store is open. It will close Monday, November 20. https://tinyurl.com/GBB-Team-Store

Mr. Zoph's report to the School Board has been posted. You can access a PDF at this link: https://5il.co/27jde

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of a great member of the Grandview family. Ms. Jackie Sewald unexpectedly passed away last night, Friday, October 20. Ms. Sewald served the Grandview community for many years and touched the lives of students, parents, and co-workers alike. Her wit and knowledge were surpassed only by her compassion and dedication to helping all she knew, especially her students. In addition, she had a knack for putting all at ease through her "down-home charm". She will be missed by all who knew her. We will pass along arrangement information as we are informed.

The school calendar approved in March erroneously marked March 25, 2024, with an X, indicating it would be a day when school would not be in session. Hours for that day were included in the total amount turned in to DESE for the school year. The loss of those hours would cause us to go below the minimum required by DESE guidelines. Therefore, during last night's meeting, the Grandview R-II School Board approved a measure to amend the 2023-2024 school year. Monday, March 25, 2024, will now be a day of school attendance. This error was just recently noticed, and we wanted to get it corrected early. The amended calendar can be found by following this link: https://5il.co/27hsz or on the District website.
