Parent/ Family Update - August 1, 2025
Dear Grandview Families,
As we head into Fall Break (October 3–6), I want to wish all of our families a safe, restful, and enjoyable time with loved ones. We are so proud of the strong start to the school year and grateful for the way our community continues to show up for our students.
A special thank you to all who joined us for Curriculum Night! It was a wonderful evening filled with learning, connections, and great conversations about how we can support our Tigers. Your partnership makes all the difference, and we are so thankful for your continued involvement.
Enjoy your break—we look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for an exciting October at Grandview!
With Tiger pride,
Dr. Susan Short
Principal, Grandview Elementary
