Grandview Elementary
Parent/ Family Update - August 1, 2025

May 1, 2026
From the Principal:
Dear Grandview families,
Today, our students had an incredible experience during our BMX assembly! Not only were they amazed by the skills and tricks of these talented athletes, but they also heard powerful messages about healthy habits, perseverance, and always doing your best. It was a great reminder that success, whether on a bike or in the classroom, comes from hard work, focus, and believing in yourself. Photos from the event have been shared on ClassDojo and will also be posted on our Facebook page, so be sure to check them out!
This assembly also provided a perfect opportunity to talk with students about preparing for next week’s state testing. We encouraged them to get plenty of rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school ready to give their best effort each day. We are proud of how hard our students have worked all year, and we are excited for them to show what they know.
Thank you for your continued support in helping your child feel confident, prepared, and ready to shine!
With gratitude,
Dr. Susan Short
Principal, Grandview Elementary School

Join us for our next PTO meeting on April 29th at 3:30 PM at GES!
As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, the PTO will be focusing on a few key ways to support our amazing teachers such as Room Parents, Holiday Program decorations, and Teacher Appreciation. To make these efforts a success, we’re hoping to bring in a few more parents to help coordinate. The commitment is small and flexible, and every bit of help makes a big difference for our teachers and students. If you’re interested in lending a hand, sign up now, and we’ll send more details in August.
We’d love to have you involved!
