Parent Teacher Conference General Information
Each semester Granville Academy teachers will reach out to families to set up times to discuss your child's progress. The conferences are designed to give you more information about the growth and challenges that students face and our approach to meeting our students’ needs. We talk about how we — our parents and the school — work together to help our students grow.
If you have not signed up for a conference time yet, please reach out to your student's teacher and view the grade span information below. All K-8 conference will take place onsite and all 9-12 conferences will be set up with individual teachers.
PTA: Feed the Piggies
Granville Academy had our first PTA meeting on October 25! The PTA is planning a fundraiser that will begin on November 5th and end on November 20 with the culminating activity of Dr. Wrenn kissing a pig or actually pigs! Students will bring in spare change to be collected in each classroom to raise the registration fees for K-12 Science Olympiad teams. Please be on the lookout for the cutest piggy banks in the classrooms to collect change and help us "feed the piggies".
Granville Academy would also like to thank each and every supporter of our Pirates. We are so lucky to have the family involvement and great school culture!
Groups and Discussion Boards
Granville Academy has set up a virtual collaborative space for GA families in grade spans K-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Invitations were sent to participate in the web forums. This space will provide the opportunity for families to collaborate online. Please note that Google email addresses have different capabilities on a Google Group. If you do not have a gmail account, you will still be able to view all communication. Every group member receives emails from the discussion board that they belong in.
