Welcome Students, Parents and Family Members,
We are looking forward to sharing positive experiences with students and family as we go into the 2019-2020 school year.
Our continuous goals for Grandview School have been to have the best learning environment for all students. In order to meet these goals some very positive things have occurred. We continuously look at student data and student achievement along with Social and Emotional Support for all students. The following improvements at Grandview will help us with student growth and student success at Grandview.
Josi Failor will teach 5th Grade Science and Social Studies. Josi has previous experience as an elementary teacher. We are happy to have Josi on staff.
Jodi Crile will teach 3rd Grade and comes to us with previous experience in 3rd grade. Jodi’s husband also teaches at the high school.
Misty Weare will teach 4th Grade and has previously taught in elementary. She and her husband are well known in the community.
Melissa Heupel will be teaching in Special Education and has previous experience in Nebraska and Wyoming. She and her husband enjoy the Alliance area and she was very excited to move here.
Allison Price will be our School Counselor and has a significant background as a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner. Allison brings us a strong background and enjoys working with children.
Caroline Almanzor has moved here recently with great background providing support services in companies in California. She will be our School Secretary.
Karen Munger will be our new custodian. She has significant background and training as a custodian and also has background working with young children. She received her College degree from Chadron State College and we are looking forward to having her in our building.
Wendi Lockhart will be teaching 5th Grade Math and Social Studies. She has been working with ELL at Alliance Public Schools and now she will be going into a 5th grade teaching position.
Doraly Reynaga previously worked for Alliance Public Schools and then moved away. She has come back to Alliance and is our ELL person. She has previously been in ELL serving students who are learning the English language while having a native language that is not English.
Janelle Huss has been working for Alliance Public Schools and continues to work at the Middle School but will be coming into Grandview in the mornings as a Special Education teacher. She will be at the Middle School in the afternoons.
Learning Environment, Technology, Curriculum and a very positive and experienced staff will help our students in many ways. I know we will continue to have parent and community support and communication to work as a team to help our students achieve.
I am looking forward to a great school year. I hope everyone has a great year!

Welcome Students, Parents and Family Members,
We are looking forward to sharing positive experiences with students and family as we go into the 2019-2020 school year.
Our continuous goals for Grandview School have been to have the best learning environment for all students. In order to meet these goals some very positive things have occurred. We continuously look at student data and student achievement along with Social and Emotional Support for all students. The following improvements at Grandview will help us with student growth and student success at Grandview.
- We will have a comfortable learning environment with a new HVAC, Heating and Air Conditioning system. The classroom will not be too hot or too cold and the students will be able to focus well with this environment.
- We will be gaining some new technology by adding new computers to our building. This will help us meet the requirements we need within our curriculum with a more in depth learning process that only technology provides. This is also very necessary for all testing within the classroom to help us determine areas where students need support and will help us adjust to meet the student’s needs.
- We have updated our curriculum. Within the last three years we have added the Wonders Reading Curriculum, the Math in Focus Curriculum and the Amplify Science Curriculum. We are excited about what this will do to help us with student academic growth in all areas.
- We have new staff members listed below:
Josi Failor will teach 5th Grade Science and Social Studies. Josi has previous experience as an elementary teacher. We are happy to have Josi on staff.
