Hello GES Families,

The Granville Central School District Board of Education is in the process of searching for a new Superintendent of Schools.

The Board values input from all stakeholders and would like to get your opinion on the most important qualities we should look for in a new superintendent.

We urge you to please complete the following online survey by 4:00 PM on February 6, 2025.

Reminders

Transportation

Please remember to ensure that bus notes are submitted by 11:00 AM each day. This helps us manage transportation effectively and ensures your child gets home safely.

***Winter Weather and Recess***

Please be sure your child is prepared for outdoor recess by bringing appropriate outerwear like boots, hats, gloves and snow pants or extra pants. If providing winter clothing presents a challenge, please reach out to the Principal or School Nurse for support—we are happy to assist with any needs.

Nurse’s Office and Medication

If your child takes medication before the school day, please ensure it’s provided before they arrive, or submit any necessary doctor’s orders to the school nurse and we can assist at school.

***Pack a Snack***

Please pack a filling afternoon snack for your children, to help them focus and feel good. Here is the link for some helpful tips about when kids should snack and simple snack ideas.

*** Does Your Child Need Extra Support? ***

Please do not hesitate to contact your student's teacher and ask for assistance and resources that you can do at home.
Here is our staff directory. Here is our Community School page with additional resources.
