We would like to clarify some issues that have cropped up concerning the previous post concerning the parental meeting on Wednesday March 12. This meeting is to equip parents with information and resources aimed at supporting any of their students who have watched a particular line of videos on social media that invoke a very strong emotional response in some viewers.
While there's really no way to guarantee the number of students who have seen these videos, we do know that some have watched them. When the staff discovers a student who has watched them, they reach out to the family.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday to allow district counseling staff to gather the available resources to share with parents and guardians, as well as gathering representatives of various agencies that can assist.
We hope this clears up some questions and concerns and apologize for any misconceptions or apprehension that arose.
The administration and staff of the Grandview R-II school district has noticed a disturbing trend that is currently gaining a foothold through social media. This trend could impact the personal safety and security of many of our students in all three buildings on campus.
There will be an informational meeting in the middle school gym on Wednesday March 12th at 5:30 PM to attempt to bring to light some of the dangers surrounding this trend. Any or all concerned parents, guardians, or concerned adults are strongly encouraged to attend.
Due to the seriousness of the subject we ask that students not be present in the actual meeting place in order for parents/guardians to be fully involved in the discussion. There will be activities for children in the cafeteria.
Thank you and we hope to see as many of you as possible.
