Dear School Families, The district will practice an emergency release on Friday, November 7th. All students will be released 15 minutes early from school. All schools in New York State must complete an emergency early release drill once per year that requires schools to evacuate their students and staff at least 15 minutes before their regular dismissal time. This drill helps to prepare in the case of an emergency that would require schools to transport their entire district home or to another location prior to the end of the school day. The buildings will be dismissed at the following times:
Jr/Sr High: 2:00
GES: Walkers 2:00 - Bussers - 2:10
MJT: Walkers 2:05 - Bussers- 2:15 UPK - 2:05
For any questions, please call your building main office, thank you.

Bus Update for Special Transportation on Bus 128 and 124: Due to a driver shortage today, our two special transportation bus routes will be combined on one bus and will have a slightly delayed arrival time this afternoon. There will be additional support on the bus ride home as well. Thank you for your understanding.
Here's a note of appreciation from Principal Taylor:
"I would like to take a moment to recognize the incredible transformation of the MJT faculty room, and to acknowledge the amazing individuals who made this happen!
Jen Blais, MJT School Nurse, has been working tirelessly behind the scenes for several weeks. She went to the PTO meeting to request funding, has stayed late, and volunteered her time for two weekends. She cleaned out years worth of piles, shopped, painted furniture, and moved items.
We would like to sincerely thank the Granville PTO for their donation of the cozy couch and a budget for the decor, and Telescope for donating the amazing Telescope tables and chairs.
It truly takes a village, and I'm so very grateful to be part of this one! Thank you to the PTO volunteers and Granville CSD parent and Telescope staff member, Greta Pisani for donating their time with Jen this past weekend to make this transformation possible!"
Way to go Team Horde! We are all on the team and appreciate our community very much!
