Welcome to Grand Ridge Grade School

Our Vision

In partnership with our families and community, Grand Ridge CCSD #95 will educate all students to reach their highest potential.  Grand Ridge will provide a safe learning environment, will respond to students' individual learning and emotional needs, and will maintain high expectations for achievement.  Our goal is to develop students who are responsible, respectful, kind, and passionate for life-long learning.

Kindergarten Registration:

If you have a student that will be attending Kindergarten in the fall please email Melissa Bernard at bernam@grgs95.org or call 815-249-6225 to schedule an appointment for registration.  All COVID guidelines will be followed when attending your appointment.

Your child must be five years old on or before September 1, 2021, to be eligible to attend.

To begin kindergarten this fall, parents must bring the following to registration:

Certified birth certificate (not the hospital one)

Social Security card

Medical Card, if applicable

All incoming kindergarten students must have a dental, physical, and eye examination prior to the first day of school.  The physical exam must include proof of immunizations and lead and diabetes screening.

Adaptive Pause:

Due to the increasing numbers of positive cases of COVID-19 in our district, we are going to move to an adaptive pause beginning Monday May 3rd.  Teachers will use a Remote Planning Day on Monday May 3rd, so students will not have remote instruction. Remote learning will begin on Tuesday May 4th. All students will be able to report back to school on Monday May 17th.  

We know that this is a challenging situation but believe that by making the choice to move to an adaptive pause at this time in the school year, we will hopefully be able to complete the last 2 weeks of school in-person and limit the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

Please take precautions at home by following the CDC and IDPH guidelines.  Wear masks when in public and within 6 ft. of non-family or non-household members.  If you or your child develop symptoms and have a positive test, we ask that you please call and inform the school as soon as possible, because  IDPH notifications are moving slowly due to increased numbers in the area.  

With these precautions in place we will be able to come back to school on May 17th for in-person learning.

11:50 a.m. Dismissal ~ Wednesday, May 5th

Lunches for May 4-14:

While we are on an adaptive pause, we will have lunches that will be available to our students.  All meals will need to be picked up by the parent at the school between the hours of 11:30-12:00 p.m. at the W1 door.

The first meal will be available to be picked up on Tuesday, May 4th.

If you are interested in receiving a meal, please contact me by 12:00 p.m. on Monday, May 3rd.
