Dear Grasse Families,
October was filled with laughter, smiles, and so much Bulldog pride at JM Grasse! From our Run for Education to our Fall Parade and classroom celebrations, our students and staff made the month so much fun. Thank you to our families and PTO for helping make these special moments possible. Your support means so much to our school community!
As we head into November, I’m looking forward to welcoming families into our school for American Education Week and Parent Visitation. Parent-Teacher Conferences will also give us a chance to celebrate your child’s growth and continue working together to support their success.
This season reminds me how grateful I am for our students, staff, and families. Together, we make JM Grasse such a special place to learn, grow, and belong. After all, “You’ve Got a Friend at JM Grasse!”🐾
As always, thank you for your continued support!!
Casi Plourde, Principal

Get ready, Bulldogs — our Fall Book Fair is coming November 9–13! Students will have the opportunity to shop during their regular library class time, exploring a wide variety of books that inspire curiosity and a love of reading. Thank you to our amazing PTO and families for helping bring this exciting event to life. Let’s make this another storybook success! 🍂📖✨
Again, this year we will be honoring Education Week at Grasse. Parents / Guardians are invited to come to Grasse to engage in a grade-level activity in the Grasse Bistro. This is an opportunity for parents to interact with their child as well as their child's classmates on a special activity. For safety purposes, parents and students will remain in the Bistro for this event.
Doors will open 5 minutes prior to the start of the event. This will give parents time to sign in and receive a visitor's sticker.
If you are unable to attend this event, please know we will have many events throughout the school year.

Transporting Large Items & Musical Equipments
Our transportation policy requires that extra items, such as projects, bags, and musical instruments, fit safely on your child’s lap without creating a safety concern for others. Larger items will need another way to get to and from school.
The following items are too large to be transported on the bus:
Baritone saxophone
Baritone horn
Cello
Drums
Electric bass
Guitar
String bass
Tuba
Amplifier system
If you need help getting one of these items to school, please reach out to your child’s music teacher to discuss options. Thank you for helping us keep everyone’s bus ride safe!
A Message from our School Nurse:
As flu season approaches, let’s work together to keep our Bulldogs healthy! If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home to rest and recover. Remember to encourage frequent handwashing, plenty of sleep, and healthy habits to help prevent the spread of germs.
Thank you for helping us keep our Grasse family healthy! 🐾
