JOHN DAY – Grant School District #3 staff and students are gearing up for the start of another school year. The first day of class will be August 25th. GSD3 Elementary Principal Janine Attlesperger, along with GU Principal Shanna Northway, were on a recent episode of KJDYโs Coffee Time. Principal Northway said registration this year is open and completely online for returning students:
โThis year, we are really excited as a district. Weโve moved to online registration. So far, itโs been a really good system. Weโve had some feedback from parents that have said itโs been so easyโฆyou used to have to come in, even for returning students, and youโre filling out a thick stack of papers, and youโre signing papers, and signing off on things. Now, itโs just a click-through menu, especially for returning students.โ
Principal Attlesperger mentioned that there are paper applications for new elementary students at Humbolt and Seneca Elementary. New students at Grant Union can either call or visit the high schools to begin the registration process.
