If your child has not already had his or her picture taken and you would like to purchase a picture package, order forms are available in the school office. They are due Friday, October 22.

Vision and Hearing Screening October 28th
Vision and hearing screening at Grand Ridge Elementary will be on Thursday, October 28th. If at all possible, please have your child at school on screening day to minimize the number of re-checks later. If you would like your child to be excluded from the screening, please send a note to your child’s teacher the day of the screening specifying if your child is to be excluded from all or part of the screening. If your child wears glasses, please be sure that they bring their glasses to school on the day of the screening. Students failing the initial screening will be re-screened by the school nurse before referral notices are mailed home. The re-screening process usually takes at least several weeks to complete.
