Some important things to keep in mind: Meal deliveries will happen between 12:00-2:00 p.m. In accordance to USDA regulations, food must be received by someone. We cannot leave food unattended at a residence. If you or your child cannot be home during delivery times, grab and go from the campus is still an option. Grab and go meals, along with student packets, will be available from 11:00am-6:00pm on campus. Grand View is reimbursed for all meals served to children under the age of 18 so there is no cost for the families or the school district.

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. Deliveries will be 12-2 on Mondays. Bus-delivered meals will be available anytime Grand View is using the virtual learning model for an extended period and during long holiday breaks. Meal reservations will be required for deliveries. Information on how to reserve meals will be sent to you early next week

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.

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.

Good evening, Grand View School has recently confirmed positive cases in middle school students from two different grades and cohort classes. Those two students will isolate at home as recommended by the Health Department. We have done contact tracing on both cases. Our stringent policies on social distancing, seating charts, mandatory masks, hand-washing, classroom cleaning and line spacing make us think that no quarantining is necessary. Still, the Grand View Health Aide, Ladonna Walls is contacting families of students in those two cohort groups. We are giving parents the option of keeping their child at home to quarantine. If you are called and you elect to quarantine your child, please call the school and let Davada Davis know that your child will be a virtual learner for a short time. Mrs. Davis 918-456-5131 Ext 800 If you have questions about COVID or quarantine timelines, please call Mrs. Walls 918-456-5131 Ext 505. Thank you for continuing your hard work to keep Grand View safe and healthy for our students, staff and families.

Hello Grand View families: We continue to learn about strategies that impact our ability to avoid COVID and how to track and isolate it. A couple of plans we are implementing: - We are going to the same seating charts for every classroom. - We will use the same order when we line-up for meals, class changes, or to go outside. Experts say this plan will allow us to contact-trace specific groups. That will let us identify a small group for quarantine, instead of an entire class. Two more very IMPORTANT points: - If your child was exposed to someone that feels ill, or is getting tested it means; they think they have COVID. Therefore, your child should stay home. - Don't send a child to school and then go for your COVID test. Assume you have COVID and keep them with you until results come back negative. - In the event you hear someone is getting tested after your child was in close contact, you should be especially aware of your child's symptoms. You should also immediately begin a contact-trace of your own. This helps us determine who may be affected if the test results are positive. These strategies will help to reduce transmission of COVID at home and at school. It will help us keep our school open when others may close.
