Grandview Elementary

Happy Friday, Grandview Families!

It's hard to believe that we are already halfway through November! This week, we had the privilege of honoring the brave men and women who have served our country during our Veterans Day Celebration. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to show their gratitude and respect for those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special and to the veterans and families who joined us!

We also had a lot to celebrate at our November 6th Student Recognition Assembly! We recognized some outstanding student accomplishments:

• 115 students had perfect attendance for the month of October!

• 35 students in grades 3–5 earned A or A/B Honor Roll for the first quarter!

• 30 students in grades 4–5 scored Proficient or Distinguished on at least one KSA assessment, with many achieving this on two or even three assessments!

• 7 homerooms had attendance rates above 95% for October, and EVERY homeroom was above 90%!

We are incredibly proud of our Tigers for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. These accomplishments are worth celebrating, and we look forward to recognizing even more student successes throughout the year!

As we approach Thanksgiving Break, our focus on gratitude continues throughout the building. We are encouraging students to recognize the people and experiences they are thankful for and to show their appreciation through their words and actions. I hope you'll take a few moments at home to talk with your child about what gratitude means to them.

As always, thank you for your continued partnership and support. I am grateful to be part of such a caring school community and proud of the way our students and staff demonstrate Tiger PRIDE each day!

With TigerPRIDE,

Dr. Susan Short
Principal, Grandview Elementary School

Grandview Elementary was awarded a Family Friendly Schools Certification from the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. GES received this certification because of demonstrated success in fostering effective partnerships with families and the broader community.

"Schools that achieve this certification show a strong commitment to actively involving families in their students' education," said Brigitte Blom, president and CEO of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence.

The Family Friendly Schools Certification is awarded by the Prichard Committee after applications are reviewed and scored by a working group of families, educators and community organizations. The group is focused on increasing open communication, learning opportunities, and shared decision-making power across the Kentucky education system.

All reports to the Kentucky Safe Schools Tip Line are completely anonymous.
