It might be a short week but Eagle Nation still has some great education going on. In Mr Holland's middle school class they are using their cheomebooks making animated gifs about the lithosphere. A couple of links are below showing some of their work. https://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/37424f2e-889a-11ee-9962-b5c2e3f1cbf8.gif https://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/5fab6e80-889a-11ee-b201-b5c2e3f1cbf8.gif

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is asking Eagle Nation, along with all districts, to fill out a School Climate Survey. Please take a few minutes to follow the link and fill out this totally anonymous survey. https://bit.ly/Parent-Climate-Survey23

The school calendar approved in March erroneously marked March 25, 2024, with an X, indicating it would be a day when school would not be in session. Hours for that day were included in the total amount turned in to DESE for the school year. The loss of those hours would cause us to go below the minimum required by DESE guidelines. Therefore, during last night's meeting, the Grandview R-II School Board approved a measure to amend the 2023-2024 school year. Monday, March 25, 2024, will now be a day of school attendance. This error was just recently noticed, and we wanted to get it corrected early. The amended calendar can be found by following this link: https://5il.co/27hsz or on the District website.

CTA will be hosting "Grandview's Trail of Terror" on October 20th on the trail behind the elementary building.

If you are interested in helping as an actor with a scary scene or character or if you are able to let us borrow any Halloween decor for our event please fill out this form and a CTA member will be back with you ASAP!
