Graysville Elementary leaders highlight student-focused approach and community ties

Graysville Elementary School in Georgia recently showcased its commitment to education and community during a welcoming meeting led by Principal Carrie Schultz and Assistant Principal Jenny Mountjoy. Both educators, who have deep roots in the area, expressed their passion for the school, emphasizing its role as a nurturing environment for students and families.

The school serves approximately 600 students from kindergarten through fifth grade and has undergone significant renovations, including the addition of a two-story building and a slide, enhancing the learning environment. The administration highlighted their focus on the holistic development of students, addressing both academic and social-emotional needs.

Graysville Elementary employs Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) to promote positive behavior among students. Daily morning meetings foster a sense of community and prepare students for success. The school has a strong academic track record, consistently scoring above state and district averages on standardized tests.

To support individualized learning, the school implements "Tiger Time," where students are grouped by academic needs for focused literacy activities. This collaborative approach among teachers has led to improved student performance, earning Graysville recognition as a model professional learning community in February 2020.

Safety remains a top priority, with comprehensive measures in place, including a dedicated school resource officer. The leadership team concluded by inviting families to join the Graysville community, reinforcing the school's identity as a family-oriented institution dedicated to fostering growth and learning.
