All students across the district receive their first school meal at no cost. However, any additional meals, including a second lunch, cost $3.35 and require parent/guardian permission.

Students must also have sufficient funds in their meal account or cash available at the time of purchase to cover the cost of the additional meal.

This procedure helps ensure families are aware of and approve additional meal purchases, preventing unexpected charges.

If you would like to give your child(ren) permission to purchase double meals, please email Tracy Blanchard at blanchardt@monsonschools.com or send in a written note.

Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Harvest of the Month is a great opportunity to celebrate local abundance, experiment with new foods and recipes, and get some positive recognition for your school district and/or school. The program’s goal is to encourage healthy food choices by increasing students’ exposure to seasonal foods while also supporting local farmers and building excitement about school meals.

💕🤍 💙 WEAR YOUR RED, WHITE & BLUE💕🤍 💙

• Our Veterans’ Day Assembly is this week - Tuesday, November 10, 2026 at 9:30am in the auditorium and we invite all our students and staff to wear red, white & blue.

Kindness in Action!

Our Granite Valley students have demonstrated the power of kindness and generosity through their school supply donations! In mid-November, Mrs. Nelson will personally deliver the collected supplies to refugee camps in Bangladesh. This meaningful effort reminds our students that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference around the world. We are so proud of our school community for coming together to help others!

For our Teaching to Trout Program to be successful, we need parent support especially in terms of donating gallons of Poland Spring Water and assisting with the stream study. Please feel free to drop them off at Granite Valley School or send them in with your child.
