Grant Elementary Newsletter
September 2023
From the Desk of Mrs. Brown
It has been a fantastic start to the school year! Grant is truly a great place to be, and I am very proud to be a part of such a great group of teachers, students, and staff members. Working as a team, great things are happening, and we want you to be a part of your child’s education. You can do this in a couple of ways:
- Read with your child every night. Every student is expected to read each night and have their daily reading log signed by an adult. By making this a routine in your home, you will positively impact your child's academic growth.
- Check your child's maroon Take Home Folder each evening for important information and/or incomplete work to be completed at home.
- Communicate with your child's teacher on a regular basis. You can do this through email or by using Seesaw. Seesaw is a way for you to see what is going on in your child's classroom. If you are not sure how to register for Seesaw, please contact your child's teacher.
- Get involved in our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO.) This group organizes fun activities for our students and raises money for some of the "extras" that we would like to have at Grant. Our first meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 11 at 3:30. This meeting will be held at Grant Elementary, and all parents are invited to attend.
