Grand View Elementary

Grand View Elementary is a proud four-star and top performing school, as designated by the Idaho Department of Education. We serve approximately 100 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, and we encourage and expect our staff, students, and families to show respect, have integrity, and put forth effort in building and maintaining a safe and flourishing learning environment.

We have adopted virtues that we expect students to display both within our school walls and at home. Please support us in the modeling and teaching of these virtues at home, so that together we may grow responsible young adults who are ready to take on all that life has to offer.

A Message From the Principal

Dear Families,

Winter is just around the corner! With the colder months come snow, ice, and those frosty mornings that make us appreciate a warm cup of cocoa. While winter weather can sometimes bring challenges—like slippery sidewalks, icy roads, and the occasional school delay—it also brings plenty of opportunities for fun and learning together.

As we head into the season, here are a few ways to help your family stay safe and prepared:

• Dress warmly. Layers, coats, hats, and gloves help keep everyone comfortable at recess and on the way to school.

• Keep your contact information up to date in PowerSchool so you’ll receive alerts about any weather-related closures or delays.

• Plan for safe travel. Give yourself extra time when the roads are snowy or icy.

• Have a backup plan in case school is delayed or canceled due to weather.

We’re looking forward to a cozy and joyful winter full of learning, laughter, and maybe even a few snowmen along the way!

Stay warm,

Kailee McClure
Grand View Elementary Principal
