Please remind your students that dangerous objects – including objects designed for “everyday” uses (such as box cutters and knives) or imitation firearms (such as toy/water guns or anything else resembling a weapon) – are never allowed at school. Please see GUHSD’s Board Policy on prohibited weapons and dangerous instruments. Please feel free to call our office with any questions about this important safety policy. Because we take student safety so seriously, students who do bring such objects to school are subject to suspension or expulsion.

Please see this document for a visual of our traffic flow and safe bike path for students.

For any student who missed the make-up photo day call Cherished Memories at 951-304-4133 to schedule an appointment.

The Grossmont District is required to collect specific information from families regarding income. The collection of this data is required during a specific window of time.

The survey only takes a few minutes. The data provided leads to special funding that contributes to the resources for our students. Thank you for your time in this matter.

If you have not taken the survey, please click the appropriate button below. For families that have not completed the survey by the end of this week, students will be surveyed during class time.

You are strongly encouraged to purchase Chromebook insurance as it may save you hundreds of dollars in future repair or lost fees. The start-of-year window for purchasing policies closes on September 27, 2024 so make time now to get coverage.
