When students attend school, the opportunities are endless. This year, our students showed up for their futures in a big way, as our district proportional attendance rate soared to 91% for the 2025-2026 school year, beating our goal of 90%! This is a result of the continued support of our entire Grain Valley community, and we can’t thank our students, staff, and families enough for another great year. We are excited to see what the 2026-2027 school year has in store.
