It's time to think about summer learning. This year the Grandview School District is excited to offer our AMP Up Summer Learning Program for Summer 2023! The program is designed to accelerate learning for all students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The program will focus on academic learning, as well as support students with social-emotional learning. Our older students in middle and high school will have a chance to take part in project-based learning, and high school students will have credit retrieval opportunities. The program will run four days a week - Monday through Thursday - from June 21 - July 27. Kindergarten through fifth grade students will attend from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and sixth through twelfth grade will attend from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Signing up is easy.

After accepting applications for nearly six weeks, the Grandview School Board is one step closer to selecting its next superintendent. Out of the 12 people who applied for the position, the board selected six preliminary candidates during an executive session on May 23.
The preliminary candidates are Yakima School District Deputy Superintendent Rob Darling, Kulshan Middle School Principal Meagan Dawson from Bellingham, Assistant Superintendent of Burlington-Edison School District Bryan Jones, Principal of Insight School of Washington (online) David Perkins, Acting Grandview School District Superintendent Jose Rivera and Superintendent of New Plymouth School District in Idaho David Sotutu.
The six candidates will take part in preliminary interviews over two days – Tuesday and Wednesday, May 30 and 31. The interviews, being held at the District Learning Center, will begin at 5 p.m. and go through approximately 8:30 p.m. each night. The interviews are open to the public.
Following the final preliminary interview, the board will go into executive session to select three finalists. The finalists will be announced on June 1. Those finalists will then go through final interviews on June 6, 7 and 8.

We are excited to announce that we are starting a new program in the district – Cultivating Kindness! Cultivating Kindness aims to recognize employees for the impact they have made through amazing customer service and communication.
We know our staff is amazing and that we have people who are always willing to go the extra mile for our students and their families. We want to recognize these people and the impact their actions have on our school district and community as a whole.
Every month – October through May – we will recognize three employees. Employees will be nominated by their peers or people in the community. You can nominiate someone using the Google Form linked below, by clicking the nominiation button in the GSD app or by filling out a physical nominiation form at your school.
Every month we will accept nominations through the 20th of that month. Then our Cultivating Kindness Committee will go through the nominations and select three people to be honored at the second school board meeting of that month.
We are excited to launch this new program and hear the stories of how our employees are making an impact on the lives of our families. -
