Dear Grandview Families:
The staff and I met today to lay out a framework for Distance Learning. Taking into account the diversity of our families, we decided that preparing packets to be picked up would be the best avenue to provide our students continued learning opportunities.
All packets will be located in the new building for pick up. PK through 2nd will be on the west side of the hall, each in a designated area. 3rd through 8th will be on the east side of the hall, each in a designated area. We will have designated pick up times for certain grades. Families with multiple children, please feel free to pick up packets for all your children at one time. The pick-up dates and times will be listed below. During the Pick Up times, NO students or other children should enter the building, nor should they be playing on the playground. Only ONE adult per family should enter the building for pick up. We are also asking that you not enter any of the classrooms. These measures are being taken to limit exposure. When returning packets, a general DROP OFF tub is at the North end of the hallway across from the office. There is also a red tray for 2020-2021 enrollment form drop off, as well as a Library Book drop off tub. All students with library books check out can turn their books in here using this tub.
We are encouraging all parents to come and pick up these packets to help students continue learning during these uncertain times. You are now your child’s teacher for the remainder of the year. We realize this is not an ideal situation for everyone, but we are doing our best to provide you with some age appropriate learning materials.
We have also included a Revised Enrollment Form to be filled out and returned. Even if you have already filled one out, we as that you please read over this one and fill it out as well. It has some new information in the top left, but we also noticed some forms were not filled out completely.
LIFETOUCH Spring Portraits, Sports, and Class Pictures – I have been in contact with our Lifetouch representative and learned that the pictures are coming out of the Dallas office. That particular office is on a shelter down alert and staff is not permitted to come in to work. We do NOT have an estimated date on when we will be receiving those pictures at this time. Should they arrive before May 11th, we will place them in with the end of the year paperwork. If they arrive after May 11th, we will determine the best way to get them to you at that time.
Cinnamon Roll Fundraiser – I have checked in with Ms. Heather and they are planning on having the Cinnamon Roll Orders ready for pick up on Monday, April 6th! You may pick up your order during your designated packet pick up time listed above. If this date changes, we will let you know.
The Learning Packet Pick Up Schedule is briefly outlined below:
*Monday, May 11th: 9:00AM – 12:00PM is Pre-K thru 4th; and 1:00PM – 4:00PM is 5th – 8th. Drop off Weeks 4 and 5 packets, and pick up end of the year paperwork.
Thank you for your time and understanding during these unfamiliar circumstances.
Sincerely,
Gary Wade
Superintendent
