Grand Meadow One Act Play Conference Invite

This Saturday, Grand Meadow will be hosting the One Act Play Conference Invite for area schools. This year we are excited to have 5 schools including ourselves participating. The event will take place in the Cafetorium with performances starting at 9am. This event is free and open to the public.

 

If you have any questions regarding the event, please contact Joshua Bilskemper at . We are excited to be hosting this event this year and would love if you could attend.

 

 

E-Learning days:

The next time Grand Meadow School needs to close due to weather related circumstances, the district will be having an E-Learning day. The announcement will state that school is closed and a message will follow that states it is an E-Learning day.

E-Learning information has been shared with families and students since the beginning of the school year. The plan was to have a traditional snow day with no school work connected to the day for the first weather related closure. Then the following days would be E-Learning days. Please take the time to look at the school webpage for the E-Learning information. Teachers have been reviewing the procedures with the students, so they should be familiar with where to find assignments and how to proceed with the schoolwork.

There will be glitches; there always is when something new gets started. Please be patience with this process and connect with your child's teacher if you have questions on accessing schoolwork.
