Message from Mrs. Jones, Principal
Hi Grange Hall families,
Wow! Three weeks into virtual teaching and learning and our teachers and students are ROCKING it! Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.
We are excited to welcome back our Cohort 1 students on Tuesday!
As we continue to prepare for the hybrid return of Cohort 2 students (K-3), we need your help.
- IF your decision has changed since completing the ParentVue survey or the survey sent by me last weekend, we need you to contact your child's teacher via email of your decision to remain virtual or return to school (hybrid) by October 1 @ noon.
- We cannot guarantee that your child's teacher will or will not be changed. Virtual teachers have not been assigned as we need to have an accurate count of virtual students to determine our school's needs.
- Any student placement changes will be communicated with individual families in a timely manner.
- CCPS school division leaders have created an initial FAQ document (which we will continue to update) and video that discusses some of the frequently asked questions to help parents become more familiar with the hybrid model.
Below are additional updates for this week:
No School on Monday, September 28, 2020.
Library News: Curbside-Pick-up
- Details linked HERE.
- Families can pick up books Thursdays from 1:00 - 6:00 pm at the front door.
A sign with the library phone number (739-6270) will be placed outside for families to call upon arrival. The librarian/library aide will answer the call that comes into the library.
MAP Testing - grades 2 - 5
We have added one more make-up date (Wednesday, September 30 @ 1:00 pm) for students who still need to take the MAP test. We have several students who did not submit the test correctly; therefore, you will be asked to log in on that date and time and resubmit. Detailed information will be shared with those families by your child's teacher. Please note that the passwords for testing sessions will be updated on Weds. morning.
