Back to School Night - Tues., Sept. 15
We are excited to welcome all GHES parents and guardians to back-to-school night! We are offering two sessions that night for families with multiple teachers or for those that need to arrive after 5:45pm. We kindly ask that this be a parent/guardian only event so that teachers and parents can connect with important information. However, we also understand that childcare can be an issue. If so, please talk to you student about being respectful of your time with the teacher.

Start with Hello Week, September 22-25
Grange Hall is participating in Sandy Hook Promise’s Start with Hello Week, September 22-25. During this week we encourage students to notice when others seem to be isolated or alone and then reach out to include them. We have several activities planned which include reading books, playing games and making a promise to include others. On Friday, September 25th we will wear green to show that we will look out for each other and make everyone feel welcome.
