Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are thrilled to share that the school year is off to a fantastic start! This past weekend, many of our elementary students had the opportunity to showcase their skills in their first Gridiron Football and Cheer events. It was a wonderful experience and a great way for our students to get involved and show their school spirit. Our daily Assemblies in the gym have been a great way to celebrate our students. This week our 4th graders will begin hosting the Morning Assembly as the announcers and leaders of the event.
Attached to this email, you'll find this week's newsletter with more details and updates. Be sure to take a look to stay informed about the latest happenings at our school.
Also, mark your calendars for our first holiday celebration of the year! We will be hosting a Halloween party at the Elementary School on Friday, November 1st. It’s going to be a fun-filled event, and we look forward to celebrating with all of our students.
For additional information and updates, please visit our school Facebook at the
Grandview R-II Elementary Page.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. If you have any questions or need further information, feel free to reach out.

Second Week Success at Grandview R2 Elementary!
Our second week of the school year is off to a great start! Students are ready to learn as we continue reviewing expectations and routines. Classes will be in full swing next week, and we are excited to see our students fully engaged. Our new morning assembly has been a wonderful addition, giving us the opportunity to come together as a school community to recognize both students and staff. It’s great to have our hallways bustling with energy again, and we are thrilled to have everyone back!

There has been an update on the best entrance for the Elementary Building for open house tomorrow. Ms. Howerton has asked for visitors to enter through the front entrance nearest the cafeteria.
Also attached are some visual aids to help with the location of the preferred entrances for all three buildings.
Hope to see you tomorrow evening.
We have learned that not all of the construction projects will be completed before Open House on Wednesday, August 14. Here is a rundown of where you can enter each building.
Elementary: The main contact area will be in the Elementary Gymnasium. Please enter the building through the doors closest to the gym or the Main/Lower Playground.
Middle School: The main contact area will be in the commons area in front of the Middle School Gym. Enter the building through the east entrance closest to the gym.
High School: The main contact area will be in the third floor hallway near the science rooms. The best place to enter the building is the door accessing the Practical Arts area (Ag and Home Ec. rooms).
