“Experience Grandview C-4”
Rachel Casey, President, Board of Education
This summer, as you come across Grandview C-4 students in your community, I invite you to ask them about their experiences in the district. If they are a high school student, ask them what house they are in. I expect you will hear an enthusiastic response about the latest Green Team robots, entrepreneurial business goals, experiences in cadet teaching, or auditions for the fall musical. At Grandview High School freshmen through seniors thrive in the Small Learning Communities. Academic gains are impressive as houses create closer relationships with teachers and administrators.
In the fall, come visit the high school and you will feel a warm welcome from the front door. You will see beautiful murals illustrating the different academic subjects and extracurricular activities and you will hear…not a lot. My personal experience has been hallways so quiet I peeked in doors to make sure students were there!
Middle school students may not be quick to share, but they are developing their plans and priorities. In GC-4 friendships in a diverse environment enlarge students’ worlds and provide a wealth of learning opportunities not offered in a textbook. Also, middle students are preparing their personal paths, taking career and interest assessments and planning for high school and beyond. As you meet younger students, ask them about their principals and teachers. Find out what books they are reading and encourage them to keep their minds, as well as their bodies, active over the summer.
And in the fall, we invite you all to visit our schools. Come to a football game, a marching band halftime show, an elementary school literacy night, or to all-district activities such as the Grandview Triangle Walk/Run (September 17) and Trivia Night (November 1). We also encourage you to sign up for the district e-news and visit www.csd4.k12.mo.us, currently being revised, to learn about exciting things students at all grade levels are doing in Grandview C-4.
