The ultimate worth of professional development for teachers is the essential role it plays in the improvement of student learning. Research states that the best way to improve student achievement is to increase our teachers' effectiveness.
In order to provide professional development opportunities for our staff, four early release days have been built into the district calendar this year. Please be aware that Sept. 28, Nov. 2, Feb. 8, & May 2 will be early release days for students.
At Grainwood, students will be released from school at 1:00 p.m. on early release days. Please remember to work these days into your family's schedule in order to provide for your child's daycare needs. We appreciate your cooperation!
