Parent & Guardian Action Items
7th Grade C.C.R. Meetings
Our school counselor, Ms. Strate, has sent out special invitations to 7th grade parents and guardians to meet with her to discuss your student's career and college readiness!
These Plan for College and Career Readiness (CCR) meetings are an essential opportunity to collaborate on your child's educational journey. Held during September and October, these sessions provide dedicated time to review academic success strategies, address attendance goals, and learn key habits for navigating middle school and beyond. Together with Ms. Strate, families will explore the student's individual interests and aptitudes, set a targeted S.M.A.R.T. goal for middle school, and address any questions you or your child may have. Invitations to schedule your appointment are being sent directly via email, so please keep an eye on your inbox so you can reserve a time slot that works best for your schedule.

General Information
School Dress Code
The GCSD Board recognizes that student dress often shapes student behavior. In an effort to maintain a learning environment in Grand County schools, the Board has established the following Student Dress Code: With this dress code, we hope to establish an environment where all GCSD students are empowered to collaborate with confidence and dignity to create a better world. This dress code was created in collaboration among parents, teachers, students, and administrators. We believe our dress code reflects our vision statement and supports an inclusive learning environment. At Grand, we are accepted, appreciated, validated, and given fair treatment. Situations involving religious, medical, or health exemptions will be respected and accommodated. Some activities, events, and classes will have specific clothing and/or shoe requirements for safety reasons. Adults will tell us when specific attire is necessary to keep us safe. School administration is responsible for the reinforcement and interpretation of Grandโs code. The Grand community is responsible for reinforcement and encouragement of Grandโs dress code.
At Grand we are fully dressed. This includes a clothing top and bottom that covers nudity.
Clothing tops have a front, back, and sides. It is okay if midriffs show.
Clothing bottoms are pants, sweatpants, shorts, skirts, dresses, or leggings.
At Grand, we wear shoes.
At Grand, we can wear hats. Our faces cannot be covered or hidden by head attire unless worn for religious, health, or medical reasons.
At Grand we choose safe forms of self-expression. We do not wear clothing that depicts hate or violence. Our clothing does not show illegal or inappropriate images/behavior/language.
At Grand, we have a choice in our hairstyle. Colors, styles, and other self-expressions shared through hairstyle are allowed.
At Grand , we respect what others choose to wear.
At Grand, we respect the values and cultures that influence what other students choose to wear.
At Grand, we support each other.
At Grand we cannot wear:
Gang attire

Underwear as our outer top or bottom clothing
Images or language related to illegal items or activities (this includes drugs, alcohol, vaping), that promotes hate or violence, that uses profanity or obscenity, that are sexual or pornographic, that creates a hostile or intimidating environment.
If we do not follow our dress code, we will be given clothing that does or directions to modify our attire. If we do not want to wear the clothing provided or follow directions in modifying our attire, we are refusing to follow dress code policy. Our families are called in this situation, and the Grand County School District matrix will be followed.
