The Grand Valley Local Schools would like to thank the community for the support in passing the school levy. Your continued support can only improve the school system. Thank you! The Grand Valley Administration
From the Office of Dr. William R. Nye, Jr.:
Subject: Lockdown
Date: November 5, 2019
Earlier today the school sent out a message indicating why we closed our doors and kept students on the buses. I should of not used the word "funny" as I was using it in the context of "strange or suspicious noise". It was actually a popping sound off in the distance that only one staff member heard. As a safety precaution, we put our safety plan into place. After much investigation and deliberation, the administration and law enforcement officials deemed the campus to have no danger. We take all safety concerns here at Grand Valley seriously.
Best Regards,
Dr. William R. Nye, Jr.
Today we had staff lock doors and halted elementary unboarding because someone reported a funny noise in the distance. We had no evidence of any danger but to be precautionary we had staff lock doors and buses board and drive off site. After much investigation by school officials and first responders there was nothing evident of any danger. School is back to normal business.
Congratulations to the 5th grade students for their 1st nine weeks accomplishments !
Some more activities going on at GVHS!
In Mr. Fisher's class, students are working on Hero's Cereal Box project to better understand leaders of the Civil War.
In Mr. Strazinsky's class, students will be working on taking orders for cutting boards over Thanksgiving break. This is a great business lesson for these kids. They get to have first hand experience with supply and demand, advertising strategies and sales. Also, the pressures of filling orders, speaking with customers and even dealing with shipping. They are even doing custom sizes!
Busy days at GV!

Have a great day GV!
On Tuesday, the GVHS College Prep Algebra I students used motion sensors to explore the two big ideas for the state standard that requires that students can model the relationship between two quantities and interpret key components of their graphs. (F.IF.4) They had a lesson on the topic the day prior... they can "talk the talk"... today they put that knowledge to use by "walking the walk". They discussed what type of motion they would have to undergo to create the five distinct sections of a graph that was projected onto the board. They then had to "walk" their ideas towards and away from their motion sensors that would graph their walk. They finally had to see if they matched the given graph. It was a fun day filled with technology applications and high order thinking.
More pictures of the 4th grade students at Severance Hall today.
Today the 4th grade students got to take a field trip to Severance Hall in Cleveland and watch the Cleveland Orchestra perform. All the students had a wonderful time and enjoyed the show.
