Meet Barb's Bench - A tribute to one of our beloved Granville Elementary custodians that passed away, and a new addition to the GES grounds.
According to Ms. Pilch, a Fifth Grade Teacher at GES, "Barbara Varney was a custodian here at GES who was well respected and loved by students and adults in the building. She was a very kind person and always willing to help others. Barb passed away in 2023 and it was very sad for those of us who knew her. To honor her memory, we gathered support from our community and staff: The bench was donated to us by Telescope; Our maintenance people poured the cement foundation and installed it; and we took up a donation for flowers and the plaque from staff."
Thank you to our staff and community for celebrating Ms. Varney's life and work. Barb's Bench was installed in the spring and the plaque was affixed in September.
Come say hello to Barb's Bench sometime and take a picture with your kids in celebration of her life and service to Granville CSD school community.
Please join us for the Jr./Sr. High School Open House on Tuesday, September 24, at 6:00 pm. You will follow your child's schedule. Please check your email for more information. See you all there!
We are looking for a few great basketball coaches!

Dear School Families and Staff,
As you may be aware, there have been a series of false threats happening to schools in the Capital Region this month, as well as across New York State. The threats appear to be recycled or similar to those around the state.
These types of threats are called Swatting. According to the Dept of Education, "Swatting is defined as a false report of an ongoing emergency or threat of violence intended to prompt an immediate tactical law enforcement response. Swatting is not a new threat; it has evolved over the last decade or so and includes a range of tactics and techniques used to cause false public alarm and divert law enforcement resources to a hoax threat."
Granville School District has yet to be a target of such hoax threats this school year; however, we are prepared for the potential of that occurring. We take any threat very seriously and will follow all of our emergency protocols to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We will continue to monitor the situation.
Those who believe these threats to be a prank should understand that they have serious repercussions in terms of criminal charges.
While these threats are a hoax in nature, they are incredibly disruptive as we must follow all emergency protocols with any and all threats to our schools.
We understand that these events can be unsettling, and we want to reassure you that the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We encourage open communication among families and staff—please feel free to reach out to your building principal, or myself, with any questions or concerns.
Let’s remain vigilant and united as a community. Together, we can ensure a safe and nurturing environment for our children to learn and grow. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Tom McGurl
Superintendent of Schools
