A Note from Mrs. Satkoski.......

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year where we will plant seeds of knowledge all year long at Grant Line Elementary. We are so very excited for you to join us in our journey of growth this year!

Each week I will send out a newsletter to the email addresses that are listed in PowerSchool for your child. If you'd like to add any emails, please contact our lovely front office ladies (Mrs. Hosking or Mrs. Baker) and they can add additional emails. Be sure to also sign up for Class Dojo (download the app!) for your child's teacher AND Grant Line. We send important information via Class Dojo and email frequently! Here is the Class Dojo link for Grant Line - be sure to sign up! https://www.classdojo.com/ul/p/addKid?target=school&schoolID=4eece6b5f64aa62934ed737e

Another way to see all that is happening at Grant Line is through our school website. Go to nafcs.org and click on schools at the top of the page. Then click on Grant Line. This will take you right to our website. All school events, newsletters, and forms are available here. Menus for breakfast and lunch are available on our website under Student Life and then Food Services. You can also load your student's lunch account from the Food Services page.

The free and reduced lunch application for 26-27 is now open. The link to that is on our website and the district website. Please apply quickly to ensure your student's lunch and breakfast is covered from day one. You must apply each year for free and reduced lunch services. Here is the link to apply: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application

You may notice new safety bollards have been installed outside of our school. We work diligently with our district and the state to ensure our students are safe at school daily. We conduct drills, attend trainings, and talk with students and staff about keeping everyone safe. It is our #1 priority!

You will be notified via email on July 29 of your child's teacher for the 26-27 school year. If you have not yet registered, PLEASE do so ASAP so we can ensure proper classroom placement. Thank you for your help!

Attendance Policy

The State of Indiana enacted a new attendance policy that began last year. School grades also began this past year and attendance is a HUGE piece of this. After ten days of being absent (unexcused) and 18 total absences (unexcused or excused), we will send home a letter, have an attendance meeting, and make a DCS call. Ten days is TWO WEEKS out of school, of which we have approximately 36 a year. When students are at school, they learn!!

Welcome New Staff Members!

We have several new staff members this year. Join me in a big Grant Line welcome!

NAFCS Calendar

REMINDER! We only have ONE week at Fall and Spring breaks this year, two at Christmas. PLEASE check out the calendar so that you plan vacations and appointments accordingly.

Take time to review the following attendance document (listed in our handbook) - this was put in place by the state last year. Attendance matters! We would like for every staff and student to miss at or less than ten days this year - that is a goal of 94%. When your child is here - they learn!
