Central San Rafael Swell
The Grand Crew Program headed to Utah for a week to explore the Central San Rafael Swell.
Students worked as a team to get through slot canyons
While inspecting ancient petroglyphs up close
Had some exciting opportunities for rappels and rock climbing
They even spent an afternoon enjoying a rappel through "Skylight Arch"
Enjoyed learning about the fascinating geology of the sandstone formations
And bonded around the campfire
You can still get help buying food.

Salad Bars to Schools
We're very excited to announce that Salad Bars to Schools has agreed to help EGSD Food Service obtain funds for salad bars at both Granby Elementary and Fraser Valley Elementary! Salad Bars to Schools is a non-profit organization that combines funds from private and corporate donations to provide salad bars to schools so every child has daily access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
How can you help? By going to http://www.saladbars2schools.org/grant/east-grand-school-district/ and making a tax-deductible donation to help us reach our goal faster!
Because we know that healthy students perform at a higher level, we serve our students wholesome, healthy, and delicious meals to fuel and nourish their growing minds and bodies. With the support of our community, customers, and school district, this initiative will help us provide more fresh offerings every day!
Weather Cancellations
This is a reminder to be extra cautious driving in adverse weather conditions. We very rarely cancel school due to weather. If at anytime you do not feel safe getting your student to school or having your student drive to school please wait until conditions improve. If a student is late to school for weather related purposes, they will be excused. The student will have to make up any missed work but there will be no discipline for being late. We have considered a late start policy however that would place many of our families and students in a situation where a parent is required to be at work in the morning and no place for the student to go until school starts.
If school is cancelled you will be notified in the following ways: an alert will go out over Powerschool and on your school's app, it will be posted on the website and run on 9news as well as Channel 4.
Let's have a safe and wonderful winter in East Grand. Thank you.
