There will be a Special Board of Education Meeting today, Friday, January 5th, 2024 at 3:30 pm in the District Office Conference Room.
The Granville Central School has been notified that parents are receiving text messages or phone calls claiming to be Mr. McGurl, Superintendent, requesting donations for gift cards to gift to faculty. This is a scam, the district would never request donations in this manner. If you are contacted please do not respond.
The School Calendar was updated at the Board of Education Meeting on Monday evening.
Grades PreK - 6th will have their 4th and final Superintendent's Day on Friday, January 12th. The Jr/Sr High School will still have their 4th Conference Day on Friday, March 8th.

Mindfulness-Informed Parenting: Learn the Basics for Introducing Mindfulness
Practices to Your Child

practices to their child/ren. Whether it’s differentiating breathing, regulating busy
thoughts, or establishing a mindfulness routine for taking a break from devices and
screen time, mindfulness practices can help build emotional resilience in a time where overwhelm and anxiety are common challenges for young people. In addition to providing background on the science behind mindfulness, this session’s experienced panel will also share the strategies they have used in their teacher and parent roles so participants can leave with a foundation for being a mindfulness-informed caregiver.
