Grandview has a robust system that grade level teams use to track missing homework. If a student has more than 3 missing assignments, teachers may reach out to parents informing them their child is getting behind and request their attendance at Wolf Academy until 4:30pm.This is an excellent way to provide students with additional time or support to assist them in staying current with their homework. Wolf Academy runs Monday-Thursday from 3:30pm-4:30pm. If a student is still struggling to get caught up, Saturday School provides another block of time to assist students. We appreciate your support when you are contacted about the need for one of these interventions.
