Principal Ten Eyck 

Dear GES Families,

Lately, we’ve seen a high volume of students asking to call home for non-essential reasons.

To help keep the school day focused, we’d like to remind families that student calls home should be reserved for essential matters only, such as:

Changes in transportation.

Forgotten items (lunches, PE kits, etc.).

Urgent health or safety issues.

We ask that students refrain from calling home for "mid-day check-ins" or to discuss disagreements with school rules or staff.

We appreciate the community’s support in helping our students build independence!

Have a good weekend,

Ms. Ten Eyck 

Principal, Granville Elementary School

When students are acknowledged for extra special kind, respectful behavior to their peers and others, they receive a Kindness Ticket.

The student will bring their tickets to the office to drop them off into our official Kindness Box.

Students can earn many tickets and three names will be drawn at the quarterly student success ceremony called PBIS.

Please remember to pack sneakers each day for gym class!

If you like, you can leave a clean, old pair of sneakers in your student's classroom cubby to leave at school for gym.
