Note From Mrs. Brown & Mr. Samber:
We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year! We are now in the 3rd quarter and are looking forward to a wonderful second half of the school year.
2nd Quarter Report Cards are now available in your child's Parent Portal account. Please be aware that report cards cannot be viewed on the app, only final grades can be seen. To view the full report card, you will need to navigate on your phone to the website or log in to the parent portal using a laptop/desktop. It is important to view the entire report card so you can see information regarding learning standards and comments from the teacher.
Please reach out with any questions. We look forward to a magical second semester ahead with your child and family!

GRANT ELEMENTARY - Frequently Asked Questions
Raptor Kiosk System - School Safety Information
The district has installed the Raptor Kiosk System to screen visitors in order to secure the building for our students and staff members.
The district has installed a new Raptor kiosk system in the bullpen/vestibule of all main entrances of our buildings. When a visitor is making a first time visit to the school, they will have to check in at the main office first and they must have their driver's license so that it can be scanned into the system and verified. On subsequent visits, visitors check in at the kiosk in the vestibule by scanning their driver's license. They can then report to the main office to receive their visitor's badge.
The kiosks were purchased with Ohio Facilities Construction Commission Safety Grant funds.
