Thank you to our amazing Grand Valley community for coming out to support our school musical! We had such a great turnout that we had to bring out extra chairs—what an incredible show of support! Our students were especially excited to see so many familiar staff faces in the audience, which made the night even more special. We truly appreciate your continued support of our students and the arts! See you tonight for the final show! 💜 💚

Dear Grand Valley Students, Parents, Staff and Community Members,

Grand Valley Local Schools has been selected by the Ohio High School Athletic Association to host a District Track Meet on May 21st and May 23rd. We were chosen because of our great facilities which is a compliment to our school system and community. This event will bring a large volume of schools and their parents and fans which will also bring business to our community as well.

Due to the volume of visitors on Thursday, May 21st, we will be releasing the students early to allow our buses to exit before the influx of other buses, vans and cars arrive.

The release schedule for 5/21/26 will be as follows:

Grand Valley Middle and High- Dismissal 11:50 am
Grand Valley Elementary- Dismissal 1:00 pm (Car Pick Ups at 12:35 pm)


This is a great opportunity to showcase our school and facilities as well as bring business to our boosters and community. Thank you for your cooperation to allow us to prepare for this event.

Thank you,
Dr. William R. Nye, Jr.
