Not Receiving Your PTA Newsletter?
Your school’s PTA has transitioned its newsletter to Apptegy, and we’ve heard that some families may not be receiving it. This may be because you still need to opt in to PTA/PTSA communications through Aeries.
Here’s how to check your preference:
Log in to Aeries → Student Info → Data Confirmation → Authorizations and select “YES” to Authorization 5DE (Release of Directory Information to PTA/PTSA).
You can update this preference at any time. Once you’ve opted in, your information will be included in the audience for future PTA newsletters.
If you’ve already opted in and are still having trouble receiving the newsletter, please reach out to Mel Stahl for assistance.

Hello Grand View families! Looking ahead to the 2026–27 school year, we want to share that the Board of Trustees recently approved a new elementary bell schedule designed to create greater consistency across schools, improve campus safety, and support a stronger start to the instructional day.
Beginning next year, all elementary schools — including Grand View — will start at 8:15 a.m., with staggered end times. Students across all elementary schools will also have consistent instructional, recess, and lunch minutes by grade level, including a daily 20-minute recess and a 45-minute lunch period on regular school days.
These updates will also support campus safety by helping schools establish a closed campus at the start of the day and better secure campus access points. Families can review the approved schedule using the link below. We look forward to another great year with our Grand View Gators!
