Good Morning! We are still looking for a FEMALE modified wrestling coach and a FEMALE volunteer assistant coach for the girls JRSR High wrestling program. Please contact Gabby Hunt at ghunt@granvillecsd.org for questions/volunteering and download a coach application at our "Now Hiring" page of GranvilleCSD.org Thank you!
Thank you Jacy Good and Daniel Johnson for coming to speak with our Grades 10-12 about the importance of distraction free driving.
We learned how something as simple as enabling Drive Mode (android) or Driving Focus (iphone) on our mobile phones can help keep ourselves and others safe on road.
And we also learned why HANDS FREE TALKING IS NOT THE ANSWER. While hands-free mobile phone use by drivers is not illegal, it results in 40% decline in visibility, hazard detection and spatial awareness and cause distraction while driving. Wow!
Ask your teen what else they learned over dinner or while driving with them.
And thank you to a collaboration between https://www.sadd.org/ and New York State for sponsoring this Assembly and making it free to our school.

Regular Attendance Matters! (Plus we really love seeing your kids!) Did you know that showing up on time and getting to class each day, helps students make friends, take advantage of free school resources and prepares them for getting and keeping a good job?

National School Bus Safety Week is a Wrap! Big thanks to our Granville CSD Transportation Department for the big job they have transporting our students to and from school, AND to after school events that take them all over the county and beyond! Here is our smiling transportation director, Jaime Sklar, who gets here at the crack of dawn and stays late to coach girls modified volleyball each day. Hurray for Bus Driver Vicki who volunteered to take a picture on behalf of our bus driving team. Thanks for all that you do! https://www.granvillecsd.org/page/rules-and-safety
