So proud of our students and teachers at Grandview High School. This week we have had ....
131 students in the Eagle Club (all As, Bs, and Cs)
73 students raised at least 1 F up to passing
138 failing grades were raised to passing
This year has been such a challenging year with COVID-19, quarantines, isolations, and temporary school closures. Our students and teachers have persevered through it all. Many grades are still pending. I can't wait to see what our statistics are next week when grades are finalized. Give your kids a hug and your teachers a shout out. They have put in a great week of work!

Happy New Year, GHS Families. Break ends on 1/4. School is back in session on 1/5. Students, make sure you're caught up on all work. Eagle Club will be posted on Wednesday, 1/6.

Students, don't forget to bring a lawn chair to sit in.
Homecoming events tonight include the presentation of the Homecoming Court, performances by the Cheer, Dance and Marching Band and announcement of the King and Queen of the Court. Times are as follows:
6:00: Homecoming Court should arrive to line up at track

EACH child must bring a signed copy of this waiver before they can be transported by the Grandview R-II School District. Paper copies of the waiver will also be mailed with back to school information packets. We are asking that as many as possible transport their child in their own vehicles to reduce the number of students on buses. Parents that wish to transport their elementary children may stop in the office during open house to get a car rider number. If you opt out of district transportation you are responsible for transportation for the entire semester.

Bus Route Changes:
Wednesday October 23rd we sent home letters with students explaining upcoming bus route changes. The reason for these changes is a shortage of bus drivers, county and statewide. On a daily basis, we are working to figure out how we are going to get students from school to home and from school to after school trips. Condensing a route is not a decision we take lightly and we know this change will be frustrating for many. This is a decision we did not want to make, it is a necessary change. Even with the changes, all full size bus routes will continue to be under an hour. I would like to thank everyone in advance as we make this transition, and I encourage you to call the transportation department if you have any questions about your route. (636) 944-3941 Opt. 2. The new routes will be posted on the school website. We will be sending an all call tonight and a reminder all call the night before the change, November 4th.
Thank You for Your Understanding,
Matt Zoph
Superintendent
