GVS – September 2025 Newsletter

Updated: 1 day ago


Granite Valley is off to a joyful and energetic start this school year! Principal Wissinger shares how our students’ curiosity, kindness, and enthusiasm are already shaping a positive, thriving school community. With a focus on safety, connection, and the values of ROCKS—Respect, Ownership, Communication, Kindness, and Scholarship—our students are laying the foundation for a successful year ahead.


Highlights from this month’s newsletter include:


  • A warm message from Principal Wissinger reminding families of the lasting impact of small, everyday actions.


  • Dates to Know: PTSA Meeting (Sept. 3), Extra Help begins (Sept. 15), Picture Day (Sept. 16), and our PBIS Kickoff Carnival (Sept. 19).


  • Learning at a Glance: Students explored ROCKS expectations, identifying together what these values look like at each grade level.


  • GV Rocks Spotlight: Celebrating the incredible dedication of staff and the unwavering support of families who make Granite Valley such a special place to learn and grow.


  • Parent Tips & Resources: The importance of consistent routines, ways to reinforce ROCKS values at home, and quick access to calendars, lunch menus, and PTSA sign-up links.


  • Community & Connection: School counselor contacts, School Council opportunities, our new Monson Public Schools District Facebook page, and a link for parent feedback: bit.ly/GVParentPebble.


  • ROCKS Tickets: Students earn recognition for showing ROCKS values, redeemable for personal, classroom, and schoolwide rewards.


With partnership between home and school, Granite Valley is building strong connections and creating meaningful learning experiences for every student.
