Grand View School

School day pictures will be taken this Friday for Pre-K through 7th grade. 8th graders will have pictures taken on November 2nd.

Reminder, tomorrow September 3rd is a Virtual Day. School will resume after the Labor Day holiday. School resumesTuesday, September 7th at 8:00 am. Grand View families have done a great job notifying the school about ill children, Dr.'s appointments and COVID testing results. You trusting us to make the right safety decisions and to keep Grand View students safe is truly appreciated. Know that we trust your judgement too. If you have a child at home for quarantine, you may also elect to keep brothers or sisters home too. If you keep a sibling at home we urge you to contact the school ASAP. Simply let us know the name of the child(ren) that is staying with a quarantined sibling. Be sure and ask for a distance learning packet for the children. Your communication with the school regarding COVID and quarantine does the following: a) Keeps you from getting the automated attendance calls each day. b) Notifies the teachers that they need to provide school work in the form of learning packets or online learning packets. c) Ensures that the learning packets keep your child caught up with their classmates. d) Also reminds us to count your child's absence as excused. Remember, don't send a child to school if they feel ill. Get them tested at once and let us know the results. Mrs. Walls 918-457-0112 Thank you for partnering with us to keep GV open.
