Dear Granville Community,

As we wrap up the first month of school, I’m delighted to share that our students are settling well into their classes and routines. While we’ve faced some challenges, I am proud of how our staff has risen to meet them, demonstrating resilience and dedication to our school community. 

At Granville CSD, we truly believe there’s a place for everyone. Alongside our strong academic programs led by highly trained educators, we offer a wide range of sports and extracurricular activities to nurture student’s interests. This is a vibrant school where students can explore their passions and build a promising future. 

However, we cannot succeed without your support. Regular attendance is crucial for your child’s success. Missing just two days a month can hinder progress and make it difficult for students to maintain friendships. Showing up is not only a vital skill for school but also for future job opportunities. I kindly ask for your help in ensuring your child arrives at school on time each day. 

Thank you for being an integral part of our school community. We appreciate all the roles you play, and we welcome community members to join our team as coaches, building substitutes, maintenance and bus crew and more. Our PTO is always looking for volunteers, and their efforts make a significant impact on our district.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My door is always open. 

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Tom McGurl, Superintendent of Schools
