Dear Bruneau-Grand View Families,
We hope you’ve had a relaxing and enjoyable summer! As the school year approaches, we’re
excited to welcome students back to our campuses and begin another fantastic year of learning
and growth.
This week, our teachers are returning, refreshed and ready to meet your children. The start of a
new school year always brings a sense of excitement—meeting new staff members, moving up to
the next grade level, kicking off the fall sports season, and seeing those big yellow buses out on
their morning routes once again. All three schools are ready for our students to return.
As we begin the school year, we kindly ask that all families review and update their contact
information with the secretary at their child’s school. The district uses a parent notification
system to send out important messages—whether by phone, text, or email. These notifications
might include school closures, general district announcements, or classroom-specific updates
from teachers. Keeping your contact information current ensures that you stay informed.
Before the first day of school, we invite you to attend a couple of important events this week.
The School Board will meet on Tuesday, August 12 at 7:00 PM. Then, on Thursday, August 14,
all three schools will be hosting Open Houses from 4:00-6:00 PM. This is a great opportunity for
students and families to meet teachers, visit classrooms, and get ready for the year ahead.
Every year, we work together to meet attendance goals for all students across the district. Good
attendance supports learning, safety, and student confidence. Our goal is for every student and
staff member to achieve a 95% attendance rate for the school year. For more details, please
review Policy 3050, which can be found under the “Policy” menu on the district website.
Lunch prices have been adjusted to reflect the state’s recommended rates for the 2025–2026
school year. Elementary lunches will now cost $3.85, and Jr/Sr High lunches will cost $3.95. We
encourage all families to complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application, available at each
school or on the district website. If your income changes during the year, you’re welcome to
submit a new application at any time. Please remember that a new application is required at the
beginning of every school year, even if your child participated in the program last year.
Thank you for your continued support during these busy summer months. We look forward to
welcoming your children back to school and partnering with you in making this a successful and
memorable year.
Warm regards,
Jeff Blaser
Superintendent, Bruneau-Grand View School District
