Grandview Athletics

A few school districts in the area have decided to release early tomorrow for bad weather. At this time Grandview is planning on having a full day of school. Please rest assured we will be monitoring the weather closely tomorrow and will release if it becomes necessary.

4-Day Week Update: Senate Bill 4 was approved out of committee WITHOUT the amendment related to the 4-day school week. I have also been told that we should not consider this a permanent “win” for the 4-day week as a local control option. I’ve heard that this same amendment (that includes the 4-day week) could very well appear again on later bills----so, please do not let this change your efforts to advocate for your position on the 4-day week, whatever it may be. Of course, new amendments could pop up or be added to future bills. Thank you everyone for your efforts, I will try to keep you updated, Matt Zoph

The campus will also be closed for community events until April 6th as well. The link below is a letter than outlines this closure including the Grandview events affected by this situation: http://bit.ly/GVclosureAthleticsLetter We are hoping this is just going to be temporary pause on athletics/activities here at Grandview. If any new information comes available, we will pass it on at that time.

Tomorrow, there will be Parent-Teacher conferences at both the high school and middle school from 1-6 PM. During conferences, there will be an informational meeting for parents of students participating in spring sports in grades 7-12 in the high school library at both 2:30 and 4:15. Parents/guardians are required to attend one meeting per year, so if they have attended a similar meeting for the fall or winter sports seasons, they do not need to attend this meeting.
