About Grant

Dear Grant Elementary Families,

 

I hope you’re enjoying a restful summer and are as excited as we are to begin the 2026–2027 school year. To kick off the year in partnership,

We will promote Organizational Health & Systems Coherence while fostering a Culture of Professionalism & Mutual Accountability. I will lead, advocate and concentrate on Academic Excellence through Ambitious Instruction while focusing on Effective Programs and Services for Diverse Learners. I promise to promote a Sense of Belonging and Rightful Presence for ALL of our stakeholders. I will collaborate with district leadership to prioritize Employee Recruitment & Retention while adhering to my Fiscal & Operational Responsibility. Finally, I will foster a relationship with our Parent Teacher Organization and school community to promote Community Engagement & Partnership. 

 

Academic Excellence occurs when we:

• Persevere
• Collaborate
• Accept Accountability
• Are Aware of our Academic Path
