College Spotlight - John Carroll University
Today's ACCESS College Spotlight is John Carroll University! JCU is a private Jesuit University located in University Heights, Ohio, just 20 minutes from downtown Cleveland.
John Carroll University is open for campus visits and tours, offering several sessions a day so they can keep their visit groups to 9 attendees or less. Admissions counselors are also setting up one on one meetings with students to discuss their search process, what they are looking for in their college of choice and how JCU might fit into that picture. Here is the link to their visit page:

Good Afternoon Grand Valley Elementary! It has been a great week. Please make sure your child is reading each night for 20 minutes and completing any homework assigned by your child's teacher. Thank you and have a great weekend!


Reminder GVMS and GVHS Families:
If your child is at home logging on for class, make sure they are going to the Attendance Classroom to check in for attendance. Please have them do this before they report to 1st period. This will give us the exact time they are logging in and we can let you know when you call to see why you got the absence auto call.
Unfortunately, if it is after 8am when they log in, we have to send the auto call per state laws.
Please note, we do have an increase in phone calls this year, so please be patient with us and we will return your call as soon as we can.
Thank you!

In grade 6-12, we recognize that there have been many concerns and issues with tracking daily attendance of our online and virtual learners. Today every student in the middle school and high school received an invitation to a grand Valley daily attendance classroom. Please have your child check their email and accept the Google invite which is where we will track daily attendance. Every day your child will need to login to the daily attendance classroom check-in that they are there and then proceed to their first period google classroom. The students must have checked in their daily attendance by 8 AM so that we can take daily attendance at the school that is required by law. If your child did not receive an invitation in their email they can use the google codes below:
High School Daily Attendance Google Classroom code: k4m5fh5
Middle School Daily Attendance Google Classroom code: en7jcxc
We appreciate very much all of the grace you have offered us as a school district and your understanding that we are sometimes learning as we go as much as you are. We hope this one small change will make a large difference in tracking attendance.
Thank you.
Ms. Cozad
