📘 January is School Board Appreciation Month 📘

The Grant County Schools Board of Education plays a vital role in shaping the future of our district—and in January, we proudly say thank you.

Behind every classroom, bus route, and school program is the careful work of our Board members. They dedicate countless hours to:
• Creating and approving the district budget
• Establishing policies that guide our schools
• Advocate for Public Education
• Evaluating and supporting the Superintendent

These responsibilities are not abstract decisions—they directly impact every student, every school, and every family across Grant County Schools.

Our Board members serve with diligence, integrity, and a shared commitment to student success. Their leadership ensures our district continues to move forward while staying rooted in what matters most: educating and supporting our children.

We are grateful for their service, their time, and their dedication to our community. 💙

📘 SAT Opportunity for 10th Grade Students 📘

Grant County High School is offering an optional SAT for 10th grade students as a valuable, low-pressure opportunity to experience the college admissions test early.

Why does this matter—especially for Kentucky students?
✔️ Perfect timing: By sophomore year, students have learned most of the reading, writing, and math skills the SAT measures.
✔️ Room to grow: Taking the SAT now gives students plenty of time to improve before scores are used for college admissions, scholarships, or career planning.
✔️ Real experience: Students will answer actual SAT-style questions, helping identify strengths and areas for growth.
✔️ Lower stress later: Early exposure reduces test anxiety and builds confidence for future required testing.
✔️ Better planning: Results can help guide coursework, tutoring, and test preparation throughout high school.

This optional SAT helps students gain insight, confidence, and a clear starting point as they plan for life after high school. We’re proud to offer opportunities that support every student’s future—college, career, or beyond! 🎓

So grateful to be back in school today! We love the annual traditions our students experience this time of year. At Sherman Elementary, our kindergarten students participate in baking, creating ornaments, and scooping reindeer food. These experiences allow families to join in the fun! Not only does baking strengthen math skills, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories.
