Principal’s Letter

Dear Grand View Families,

Happy New Year! We hope you had a joyful and restful holiday season filled with family, laughter, and special memories. We are excited to welcome you back to school and continue our journey of learning, growth, and fun.

This month, we’ll be diving back into routines, exploring new concepts, and celebrating all the progress your children have made so far. Be on the lookout for updates about exciting activities, important dates, and classroom happenings.

Our focus for the start of the new year will include building upon foundational skills, working together as a classroom community, and inspiring a love for learning. Your involvement at home is a key part of your child’s success, and we truly value our partnership with you.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education!

Warm regards,

Francesca Craver
