Grainwood has a NEW School Social Worker!

Dear Grainwood Families,

I want to take this moment to share information about a staffing change that has recently taking place at Grainwood for the upcoming year.  Cheryl Wendt, our school social worker and long-time district employee, has excepted a new position outside of the district (in a leadership role) and will not be returning this fall.  Congrats to Cheryl!  In her place, we are very excited to announce that we hired Renee Krausert, Edgewood's part-time social worker, to be a part of the Grainwood team.  Welcome Renee!  Please introduce yourself to Mrs. Krausert at Open House next Thursday, September 4.

Transportation Information


Grainwood Families,

Transportation information is now live in Infinite Campus. The attached list serve (click link HERE) was sent out to all families today notifying parents of bus stop information, school meal options, data privacy opt-out forms and a host of other important details as families prepare for the first day of school.

Please note that some transportation information is still being loaded into Infinite Campus for students with dual households for busing. That information will be complete prior to the start of school. This has also been communicated to parents in the list serve and within the Infinite Campus message section.

Fee Pay Instructions

Grainwood Families,

Just recently the district sent out information about how to register and create your family's FeePay account and deactivating your PayPAMS account.  Please take a moment to do this prior to the start of the school year!  (Instructions found HERE!)

We look forward to using FeePay as our new system of collecting payments from families and eliminating almost all cash and check exchanges between our office, classrooms and home.  Thank you for your patience as we launch this new system!

Help Needed!!!

Hello Grainwood Families.  
 
I hope you all are having a great summer!  
 
I want to thank everyone who has helped with the Grainwood Gardens this summer, it all looks beautiful.  This week we had new mulch delivered.  We are looking for a few families to help distribute the mulch on either side of the front walk and near the building on the east side of the 2nd and 3rd grade wing sometime the week of August 11th.  It shouldn't take more than an hour or so to complete and two rakes, one shovel and one wheelbarrow will be provided.  (Feel free to bring more).
 
If this is something you are interested in helping with, please contact Mr. Glynn or Mindee in the office (952) 226-0300.
 
Thank you for your time and dedication to Grainwood Elementary
