GV Schools Community News - 09/24/26

What a success! Earlier this week, GVHS hosted a college and career fair! During the fair, juniors and seniors connected with colleges, universities, technical schools, and representatives from the military. With over 60 groups in attendance, students were able to explore potential pathways after high school!

There will be no school for students tomorrow, Friday, September 25th, due to a full day of in-service for staff. Have a great weekend. 

Reminder: There is still time to apply for the Grain Valley School engagement opportunities. The application closes tomorrow, September 25. 

These engagement committees provide families and the community with the opportunity to learn about Grain Valley Schools and work directly with district leaders and educators through open, honest conversation and thoughtful collaboration. 

Interested patrons may choose from the following committees: 

Each committee will meet just 1–4 times during the school year for 1–3 hours at a time. To facilitate committee assignments, please submit the completed form no later than September 25, 2026. Community members will be contacted regarding their committee assignment and the first meeting of the year at the beginning of October.

When students are at school, they are able to discover their interests, find their fit, and challenge themselves daily. Through a comprehensive curriculum that is designed to prepare students for post-secondary success, career exploration that allows students to imagine, plan, and ask questions about their future, and extracurricular offerings that support their social and emotional well-being, being present in school matters.  

The Full Picture is a district attendance awareness initiative that highlights the opportunities that are available to our students when they are present at school.
