Distance learning will continue through the month of December. Students are expected to attend Google Meets. If you experience any difficulties getting connected please contact the front office. Grab-and-go meals will continue to be available on campus every Monday for children 18 or younger. Beginning December 14th, Grand View will provide meal drop-offs along designated bus routes.

COVID cases among staff and students at Grand View remain steady. The Thanksgiving Break is beginning to show an upward trend. Therefore Grand View will remain on a distance-learning model through December 18th. Grab-&-go meals will continue to be offered on Mondays through the holidays.

Today the CDC changed quarantine guidelines. The Cherokee Nation Epidemiologist recommends that in order to reopen schools we must accurately report every staff member or student that tests positive for COVID. Similarly, we must also report any direct exposure or quarantined cases. So that our data is accurate, please notify the Grand View School Health Aide, Mrs Ladona Walls if these cases apply to you or your child. Call 918-456-5131 Ext 505 or email lwalls@grandviewchargers.org

Contingency plans for special education students remain in effect due to school building closure for the week of November 30th through December 4th. Decisions to extend this plan will be made on a weekly basis. If you are the parent or guardian of a special education student with a current IEP, please click on the following link for additional details. Thank you. https://bit.ly/3qaqpg1

Due to COVID-affected students and staff, Grand View will use the Distance Learning models already in place for the week beginning Monday, November 30th. This decision was made when the administrative team determined on-campus instruction could not be effective or safe given the circumstances. Substitute teacher availability, separating cohort groups, and available space to move ill teachers and students all became areas of concern. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will include the previously-used virtual learning schedule for grades 3rd through 8th grade. Teachers will instruct live from 8:00-12:00. Online support will be available until 3:30. Tuesday and Thursday will be asynchronous distance learning. Teachers will be available via email for additional student assistance these days. Grab-&-Go meals will be available on Monday from 11:00 to 6:00. Learning packets and after-school packets will also be available at that time. Technology support, counseling services and family resource information will be available all week. Please call the school if you have questions or need assistance. When Friday's Oklahoma State COVID reporting becomes available, we will make a decision for the week of December 7th. In the meantime, please keep your students engaged with their teachers, follow COVID guidelines and keep your family safe and healthy.

Just a reminder even though school isn't in session for Thanksgiving break, there will be a meal distribution Monday, November 23rd from 11 to 6.
