It is time to prepare for ONLINE REGISTRATION for the 2022 – 2023 school year! Online Registration will begin district wide on Tuesday, July 5, 2022. If you will be living within the Grandview C-4 School District attendance boundaries on August 22, 2022 (first day of school) and your student will be attending one of the District schools (based on your address), it is necessary to make sure the school district has the most up-to-date

contact information for you. PARENT PORTAL is a key part of the online registration process. It is expected that all families complete the registration and enrollment process via the Parent Portal and through email communication. In order for this process to flow smoothly, please ensure your child’s school has the best email address to contact you. You can do so by completing the form by clicking on the link below no later than Friday, May 27, 2022.

Managing emotions can be incredibly difficult for students, and really, for all people. Here are a few strategies we use at Conn-West. Feel free to try them out with your student(s)...they work great at home, as well!

We need your help with afternoon dismissal. We are causing a backup on Main Street in the afternoon at dismissal time. We want to keep everyone safe and ask that you please not stop your vehicle on Main Street while waiting to get into the back parking lot. Please come a little bit later for dismissal or if you see that you cannot get into the back lot, please pull around the corner and wait on a side street until you can into the lot. We really need your help with dismissal in order to keep you and other community members safe.

The Student Assistance Program is currently available for students through New Directions Behavioral Health. The program can provide free services to students and families including up to three face-to-face short term counseling sessions, on-site crisis management, 24-hour toll-free phone assistance, and a health resource library.

This is available to our families via referral by school counselors or by you calling the New Directions Help Line at 1-855-340-6487. All students and/or guardians can access the Help Line at any time, as it is open 24 hours each day, every day of the year. Students 18 and older can schedule counseling appointments on their own.

For more information, you may visit ndbh.com. Select ‘For Individual Families.’ Then select ‘Student Assistance Program.’ The school code for our district is: GrandviewSAP.

Additional information on New Directions’ Student Assistance Program is attached. If you have any further questions we encourage you to reach out to your school's counseling office.

We are truly excited to offer this resource to our families.

Grandview C-4 partners with the non-profit organization Giving the Basics, to provide several types of personal hygiene items to students and families who cannot otherwise afford

them. Items are free and include, but are not limited to, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, ethnic hair products, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, soap, and laundry soap. Sometimes, items like toilet paper, cleaning supplies, combs and brushes are also available. Personal dignity is an important component of school attendance and academic achievement. If you know of a student or family in need, please contact a school counselor, nurse, health para or building administrator. With your help, we can get these important items into the hands of the students who need them. Remember, the items are free and available to anyone in need.
