The Teachers and Staff got in on the fall fun today! Who do you recognize in the pictures? I spy an Art teacher, Ag teacher, Special Education teachers, Librarian, Teaching Assistants and Aides, Math teacher, our District Tutor, Kindergarten teachers, our school security team and more. Anyone else? Don't forget to get a look at the "Grammar Police! Here to Serve and Correct!" #gogranville #granvilleny #granvillehorde
Good afternoon! The MJT and GES afternoon buses may arrive a bit early today because many students are being picked up after the Fall Parade. There will fewer students on the buses to be dropped off and this results in some earlier arrival times. Thank you!
COMMUNITY NOTICE: The 1pm Varsity Football game in Whitehall on Saturday, 11/2 will be charging a $6 fee to attend (Children 12 and under are free to attend).
EDITED TO ADD: A $3 to $8 fee is a NYSPHAA Section 2 ticketing procedure, for all Sectional Playoffs. NYSPHAA uses the GoFan platform which also charges a convenience fee of approximately $1.30 to $1.50. Here is the link to pricing details for all sports: https://section2athletics.org/.../SECTIONAL_TICKET_PRICES... Granville CSD does not charge for school sport events, unless we are a designated host for a Sectional event run by NYSPHAA, in which case it is a NYSPHAA fee, not Granville CSD fee.
Those interested in attending must purchase a ticket on the following Gofan page prior to attending. There will be no cash option available for purchasing a ticket there. Here is the link to purchase a ticket: https://gofan.co/event/1658976?schoolId=NYSPHSAAII
Game Location: Whitehall Junior-Senior High, 87 Buckley Rd, Whitehall, NY 12887
