A quick reminder

The fire department was called today to address an issue with smoke in a high school classroom. The source turned out to be a wiring issue in an air conditioning unit. There were no injuries reported. The students and staff are commended on their actions during the situation.

The Middle School track meet scheduled for today, Wednesday, April 7, has been cancelled due to impending weather.

Here is a message from Mr. Zoph about an event at Grandview tomorrow, April 1. Tomorrow April 1st, (this is not an April Fools Joke) the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department SWAT team and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department Student Resource Officers from across the county will be on the Grandview campus from 3:30pm till approximately 7:30pm doing Active Shooter Training. Many school personnel will be participating in the training along with the Sheriff’s Department Officers. I’m sending this out so everyone can remain calm when they see the campus full of police cars and officers doing mock trainings all over the campus. There is NO EMERGENCY and the Grandview campus will probably be the safest place in Jefferson County for around 4 hours. Again this is just to let the community know there will be a Jefferson County Sheriffs department Active Shooter Training on campus tomorrow! Matt Zoph (Superintendent) https://5il.co/r52i

One year ago today, the governor of Missouri shut down all public schools in the state due to COVID-19. Over the past year the Grandview school district was able to open up on our normal schedule and bring the kids and staff back. We've constantly tried to create an environment as close to normal as we can. I can't thank the staff enough for the hard work recreating what education looks like this year. Last week the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in De Soto vaccinated all of our staff with qualifying underlying conditions. Today Parkland Health Mart of Desloge vaccinated all of our remaining staff that wanted to be vaccinated. Parkland also vaccinated approximately 100 community members beyond just the Grandview Staff. We cannot thank these two pharmacies enough! If you are looking for a Pharmacy, I cannot recommend nicer people than those that work at Medicine Shoppe in De Soto and Parkland Health Mart in Desloge. To me these vaccines are another step toward normalcy, some people need the vaccine to feel safe coming to work and some do not, to me either is fine, as long as they feel safe. I know it has been a long year and everyone is tired, but seeing everyone come together gives me hope that brighter days are around the corner. A special thanks to Nurse Kadie, Nurse Jessica, the admin team and everyone who has stepped up to get us to this point, you are all appreciated! Grandview Strong! Matt Zoph Superintendent
