Harriett Thompson 4th and 5th grade teachers held an Avid Informational night for parents. Together they discussed the vision of Avid and how it applied to students. Teachers also shared an overview of the program and what it looks like in the classroom. Parents had an opportunity to get involved and participated in a couple AVID strategies of their own. To wrap up the evening parents worked in groups to create “Successful Parent” posters. These will be proudly displayed in the 4th/5th grade hall for students to enjoy! Both the teachers and parents left with smiles on their faces as they look forward to having a successful school year.

Grandview School District's 2009 AYP Notice is now available. The notice is available in its entirety here and can also be downloaded as a PDF file in either English or Spanish.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Washington’s schools and school districts are dedicated to providing all students with the academic knowledge and critical thinking skills needed to succeed in school and beyond. In the past year, Grandview schools have increased our accountability to students even more. The 2002 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, commonly referred to as “No Child Left Behind,” expands the federal government’s role in ensuring that every student succeeds academically. This law requires all schools, school districts and states to show that all students are meeting achievement targets in reading and mathematics. Each state’s achievement goals rise each year until 2014, when 100 percent of public school children are expected to be proficient in reading and mathematics.
