Naselle-Grays River Valley School District

Welcome back, Comets and Wildcats!

It was great seeing students back on campus this morning after Winter Break. We hope you had a fun, safe, and restful break—surrounded by friends and family and able to recharge.

As we jump back into routines, let’s start the new year strong with positive energy, kindness, and our best effort each day. We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to have everyone back where they belong.

We are excited to announce that we are nearing the start of our 21st Century After School Program. This program will provide academic support and enrichment before and after school for students in grades K-12--as well as food, transportation, and summer activities. We anticipate this program beginning in late January or early February and continuing for the next 5 years.

This program will be administered and supported through ESD 112 in Vancouver. The ESD is in the process of recruiting applicants for the positions of site coordinator and site assistant (2). More information about these positions is contained in the attached fliers. We have also included links to the job applications.

If you or somebody you know is interested in these positions and serving in our after school program, please share this information with them and encourage them to apply. Thank you and have a safe, healthy, relaxing, and blessed holiday season.

As the year comes to a close, we want to wish our entire community a happy, peaceful, and restful holiday season. This time of year offers a chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most—family, friends, and well-being.

We are deeply grateful for the support, collaboration, and dedication shown throughout the year, and we look forward to the year ahead. May your holidays be filled with joy, rest, and meaningful moments. Wishing you health, happiness, and renewed energy in the new year. Happy holidays! ❄️✨

Guess who stopped by school today? 🎅✨

Our students were surprised and delighted when a very special visitor walked through the halls passing out candy canes! The smiles, excitement, and holiday cheer were absolutely contagious.

Thank you to our festive friend for bringing a little extra magic to our day. ❤️🎁

Bidding a fond farewell to outgoing board member, Lonnie Eaton. Thank you for your 10 years of faithful and exemplary service. Swearing in a returning board member, Amy Hunt, and new board member, John Larson. Thank you, Amy!. Welcome aboard, John.

Three Naselle-Grays River Valley High School knowledge bowl teams competed at an ESD 113 meet against 21 other teams from around Pacific, Grays Harbor, and Thurston counties. At the end of the meet, our top team placed 3rd out of 24 teams, and our next highest team placed 6th overall. Great job, students! Thank you for coaching, Mrs. Holt. Thank you for driving, George Garcia.

We would like to remind parents, guardians, staff, and community members that our leadership students and Miss See have resurrected the gift giving program previously known as the "Angel Tree." There is a "Comet Tree" in the office with tags on it that contain important information about clothing sizes, gift ideas, and other necessities for needy students and families. There is still time for parent, guardians, staff, and community members to sponsor a student--or multiple students--this holiday season. If you would like to participate and purchase gift items for a student or students, please come by the office as soon as possible or contact Miss See. We hope that you have a safe, healthy, and joyous holiday season.

Here are today's elementary P.O.W.E.R. ticket drawing winners. Great job!

Due to the recent weather related school closures, lost preparation opportunities, an illness for our band instructor, and multiple other factors, we have decided to postpone our winter concert until a date and time to be determined in January. Ultimately, we want to give our students and our band director the opportunity to deliver a performance that is reflective of their abilities and talents. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we look forward to scheduling a concert in January. Thank you for your understanding.

✨ Exciting News from Our District! ✨

This achievement not only reflects Mrs. Hoagland’s dedication and passion for empowering students, but also marks an important step forward as we continue to grow and strengthen our CTE programs across the district.

With her expertise and commitment, our students will have even more opportunities to explore real-world skills, discover new career pathways, and prepare for bright futures.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Hoagland on this outstanding accomplishment! 👏
We are excited for all that’s ahead as our CTE offerings continue to expand.
