Schools must ensure that students have equitable digital access to the internet and to electronic devices by surveying the school community each fall. The results must then be reported to the state. Completion of the digital access survey via the eSD portal helps the school district meet this mandated requirement. https://www.granvillecsd.org/page/parent-portal

Good afternoon, Please be advised that after a review of the new GES schedule on Friday, it has become apparent that some additional elements require attention. Those elements have been addressed, but the teachers and support staff have yet to have the opportunity to review them and provide feedback. Therefore, the intended schedule rollout for Monday will be placed on hold until that can happen. Though the MJT schedule is finalized and ready for Monday, it is linked to the GES schedule and, therefore, cannot be rolled out independently. As has been said all along, this is a work in progress, and there will be continued adjustments along the way. Your continued support is appreciated as we work through these final elements. Advance notice will be provided when the new elementary schedule goes into effect. Have a wonderful weekend

The Granville Central School has been notified that parents are receiving text messages or phone calls claiming to be Mr. McGurl, Superintendent, requesting donations for gift cards to gift to faculty. This is a scam, the district would never request donations in this manner. If you are contacted please do not respond.
