Last Student Work Pick-Up, THIS Friday, 5/22!
On Friday, May 22nd we will pass out student work and belongings. We will implement the same drive-through system that we did at the start of Distance Learning. This time, you may see some smiling (masked) faces of Grant staff members throughout the day. Car decorating and student passengers are welcome!
Many of you will have materials that need to be returned to school. Please bring them in a bag so we can keep items organized. Loose materials are discouraged.
Please do NOT return iPads to school unless your student is leaving the school district. Students will keep their iPads over the summer.
Come to the normal Grant drop off/pick up zone so that you can drive by and pick up a paper bag with your student's materials. In order to limit the number of people coming by at once, we have broken up the school into 4 groups based on last names. Here is the pickup schedule for Friday, May 22nd:
11:00 am-11:30 am: Last Names A-G
11:30 am 12:00 pm Last Names H-N
12:30 pm- 1:00 pm-Last Names O-U
1:00- 1:30 pm-Last Names V-Z
Keep your PCS iPads this Summer!
Please not bring your school iPads to school on May 22 to be dropped off.
