Dear Grinnell Newburg Board of Education, Staff, Family, and Friends:
Welcome back to school! We are so happy to have all of our Tiger Family Together again! This week the hallways were filled with joy, reunions among friends and staff, and the energy in the buildings brought such great joy! Teamwork was evident as staff worked together to problem-solve the first few glitches that come with every opening week of school! Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding as we move into a routine mode for the 2022-23 school year. Families, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your student, don't hesitate to contact their classroom teacher or school office! Our staff is here to support and serve our families. Every Student, Every Day!
