With several roads still unsafe for our buses to travel and the potential for more snow tomorrow, Friday, February 6, 2026, will be NTI Day #10 for Grant County Schools. This is our last NTI day.




Cameras are optional, microphones should be muted when not speaking, and we ask that participants use the raise hand feature or chat to contribute to the discussion. Our goal is to create a respectful, collaborative space where all voices are heard as we work together to support our students and school.
Thank you for your partnership and flexibility as we try this new format. We look forward to a great conversation.

We will continue with our Parent Advisory Meeting today at 6:00 PM, and the meeting will be held virtually. We hope this format allows more parents and guardians the opportunity to participate.
We have a great school, and with your continued support and partnership, we will continue moving forward on our path to greatness.

Grant County Schools will use NTI Day #9 on Thursday, February 5, 2026. We are incredibly thankful for the crews who have been working around the clock pushing snow and helping us get closer to safely returning to school. A special thank you to our own maintenance department for relentlessly clearing sidewalks and parking lots—your dedication does not go unnoticed. We know this work is demanding, and we are truly grateful for your commitment to our students, staff, and community.

Mrs. Vanhoose is kind, loving, and always there for any student or staff member who needs her! We love you, Mrs. Vanhoose! Happy National School Counselor Week! ❤️🐎💙

It’s a time to spread kindness throughout our school, our families, and our community. Each day will bring new opportunities to show kindness in big and small ways as we take on the Ultimate Kindness Challenge.
We will Outplay Meanness. Outlast Negativity. Out-Kind Everyone. 💪✨
Attached is our daily theme dress-up schedule. Dressing up is encouraged and fun, but always optional! Each grade level will also take part in a special kindness project during the week.
We can’t wait to see our students shine kindness across our school, our families, and our community! 🌟💛

Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Grant County Schools will be closed. We hope everyone has a safe day and we are hopeful to see everyone soon!
