Granada Huntley East Chain School District

We were thankful to have Army Captain/Minnesota Representative Bjorn Olson as a guest speaker for Veterans Day this year. A great message on the significance of Veterans Day for our students. Thank you Captain Olson!

The Granada-Huntley-East Chain Elementary is focusing on transitioning to a math standards-based portion of the report card for K-5. This portion will help us better communicate to parents the link between Minnesota State Standards we teach in our curriculum and classroom and how we assess student achievement of standards. For more detailed information on this change please watch the following video: https://youtu.be/iWmeAKnFdyE We appreciate your patience as we continue to work through this new change in grading and report card philosophy. Our primary focus is creating better learners who are knowledgeable, reflective, and inquiring lifelong learners. Any questions please contact your child's teacher or Mrs. Murphy (keri.murphy@ghec.k12.mn.us / 507.447.221. Ext. 1118 )
