FFA Club Jacket Winners with Ms. Cahan, Agriculture Science Teacher

The FFA Jacket Award was established in 2009 and allows the current New York State Officers to recognize FFA members from throughout New York who have shown outstanding promise in their future as an FFA member and an advocate for agriculture.

This year, there were 220 applicants and FOUR members of the Granville CSD FFA were awarded three jackets. Jacket award recipients will attend the State FFA Convention on May 7th, 2025 to receive their award.

All coaches are using the Granville CSD app for practice and game updates for their players and students.

Some teachers from each building are using this app to communicate with families as well.

Here's How: Open the app, navigate to "classrooms" at the bottom of the app. Log in with your phone or email associated with Granville CSD eSchool, TURN ON notifications in "settings" and then look through your students classrooms or team.

Students can log into the app with their Granville CSD email and password. Student having trouble logging in? Delete the app, turn off phone, turn back on, download it again and log in.

Grades 7-12 is an important time to start talking about what happens after high school with your student.

Granville CSD has many ways to support your student with future planning.

In 8th grade, families can apply for P-TECH, a free program that begins in 9th grade and leads to a FREE two-year college degree in one of two in-demand technology careers: Advanced Manufacturing or Computer Networking and Cybersecurity.

High School

In 9th Grade, families can apply for the FREE TRIO Upward Bound program to mentor your student through high school (be ready to apply early in the 9th grade school year.)

In 11th grade, we have FREE Early College and Career Academy (ECCA) to earn a two-year college degree in a variety of programs while in high school. Be ready to apply in 10th grade!

BOCES offers FREE 17 professional trade training programs that lead to good paying, in-demand jobs. BOCES trainings are competitive programs and require good attendance, behavior and being on track to graduate. Be ready to apply in 10th grade.

We have Syracuse University Advance Project (SUPA) classes to gain college credit while in high school. A huge savings!

Funding Vocational School and College

There are local, state and national grants and scholarships (money you do not have to give back) for all kinds of programs - from the trades, to local workforce, to college. Check out this free 2-year to 5-year college-tuition scholarship for NYS families earning under 125K. Guidance has the latest information about Scholarships, apprenticeships, college and more.

Vermont students who graduate from Granville can also receive in-state SUNY tuition.

It all starts with getting to school on time and being curious about the opportunities available, while you're in school.

Talk to your guidance counselor to discuss how to get started.

Media and internet safety resources for families are on the Community School page. Learn how to monitor screen time, downloads and internet use to help your student be safe, feel their best and improve their sleep.

Notice from 7th Grade Teachers: Please note that some 7th graders are on apps made to look like the now closed Omegle app, a platform that allowed minors to video chat with strangers.
