August 2022 - WELCOME BACK!
From the Desk of Mr. Miller
I hope you have all had a wonderful summer break! I am so excited for the students to return and hear all about their fun summer adventures! I hope you found time to connect, relax, and to have some fun.
I wanted to send out some important information before the year begins to help you plan for a successful start! We also have some pretty exciting updates for this coming year as well!
Please know that our front office is open and Mrs. Roth and Mrs. Eberhart are here for any questions you might have or if you are looking to enroll. Our office will be open from 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and you can reach us at 719.328.5700.
Again, Mrs. Cincoski and I are excited to see you and your students in only a couple of weeks!
Thank you,
Ryan Miller, Principal
BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT!
Kona Ice will also be here if you are feeling the need for some delicious shave ice! Kona Ice will give back 20% of their sales to Grant!
NEW START/END TIMES FOR SCHOOL!
We ask that students arrive to school no earlier than 7:35 a.m. At 7:40 a.m., our exterior classroom doors will open for our Breakfast in the Classroom program! Please be sure to have your student arrive on time as students arriving after the 7:50 a.m. bell will be marked tardy or absent.
Dismissal will take place at 2:50 p.m. each day and students will be dismissed from their classrooms out of their exterior doors. We kindly ask that all students are picked up from school no later than 3:05 p.m.
If your student is a bus rider, you can check with transportation as to the new route numbers and/or pick up/drop off times!
Breakfast & Lunch Update
We would highly encourage ALL families to apply for free lunch! Not only may your student be eligible for a free lunch everyday, but it also helps the school by ensuring we keep our Title I status, which provides the school a Title I budget of nearly $385,000.
You can apply quickly and easily for free lunch here: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application
