THE GRANTONIAN

We understand that recent national discussions on immigration have raised concerns for many in our community. At Grant High School, we are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, regardless of background.

We want to reassure you that state laws prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials from interacting with students on school grounds or gaining personal information without a valid arrest warrant. Additionally, we uphold Oregon laws that protect individuals from being detained based solely on immigration status.

The safety and privacy of our students are our top priorities.We are committed to safeguarding educational records and ensuring that all students, regardless of their immigration status, feel safe and valued. Our school community strives to treat every individual with dignity, and we maintain policies that safeguard students from discrimination. We are committed to supporting each of our students with compassion and understanding.

We hope these resources will be helpful to you and your loved ones:

Please connect with your child's school counselor to provide this information or if you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance.

THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING! I spent time at the PTA Clothing Closet yesterday with some wonderful fellow volunteers. It was such a rewarding experience! I've been feeling a sense of dread lately, and helping out with this amazing cause really lifted my spirits. They always need volunteers on Mondays and Thursdays – if you're looking for a way to give back and get a little boost yourself, I highly recommend it! Here’s a link to their website: PTA Clothing Closet.

The Grant HS PTA budgeted $500 dollars to support the work done there and it has now been disbursed.

Dear Grant Students and Families,

To ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff, we are reinforcing the following entrance policy.

• Upon arrival, students must enter the main building through the front doors unless their first class is in the Art Building or Hollyrood.

• Late arrivals (after the bell) must sign in at the main office. Signing in ensures student safety and accountability in case of an emergency.

• Side entrances throughout the rest of the day: Students must show their PPS IDs to be "buzzed in”. Front office entry is required otherwise.

• Doors must remain secured all day. Propping doors open or admitting others is prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.

Given the high volume of people on campus at any given time, we are working to implement measures that control building access and mitigate potential risks. It is crucial that students understand the reasoning behind these necessary security directives.

We ask that parents and families reinforce our expectations by discussing the importance of safety and reassuring students that these measures are in place solely to ensure student and staff well-being at Grant High School.

Thank you for your continued support,

Grant High School Administration

Whether you are new to Grant or a returning family, we look forward to the year ahead.

As our sports and student activities get underway, we wanted to share information on how you can make purchases or donations to support our incredible school!

Our classrooms and programs are robust and the price of supplying materials and ensuring safe and productive learning environments is costly; We would not be able to achieve this without your support.

REQUEST FOR GENERAL DONATION any amount is helpful

This year, as a school, we are tasked with doing more with less; staff, supplies, & funding. In light of this, we see that our greatest need right now is for general donations that can be used to provide:

• Course-specific and schoolwide supplies & equipment to our classrooms and support areas
• Student activities for enhanced learning, community building and engagement
• Student incentives
• Student events and celebrations
• Student support- Financial Assistance, Scholarship, 4-star Hunger Project, Support Groups

LIFETIME FITNESS CLASS UNIFORM

Uniforms are required for Lifetime Fitness (formerly known as PE 1-2) students, but they are not provided through district resources. This fee helps to cover the cost of PE T-Shirt, Shorts, Workbook, and other supplies.

CLASS DONATIONS

Here is the Name Change Request for Yearbook.

The purpose of this communication is to alert families about a troubling pattern of online cyber abuse, which targets youth aged 14-18, particularly males, referred to as Sextortion. Sextortion occurs when someone is coerced into sending explicit images and once those images are received, they are used to threaten and extort (usually for money). In most cases, the teen believes they are exchanging the images with a teen of a similar age - this is part of the scam. Recently, federal law enforcement warned schools to be on the lookout for warning signs so that we may have the opportunity to intervene in potentially dangerous situations before things go too far. Last week, Hulu released a powerful documentary called IMPACT X Nightline: Sextortion that serves as an urgent warning and call to action for parents. While we recommend the film, we do so with caution as teen suicide is discussed throughout - please take care when watching. Included here are links to information, tips, and resources we’ve gathered about protecting teens from harm by online predators. We hope it will encourage conversation at home and between teens within their peer groups. As always, we welcome your feedback. Report concerns to Safe Oregon using any of the following methods.

Dear Parents,

You can also reach out to the school nurse if you have any questions. Thank you and have a wonderful winter break!
