Good afternoon, Tiger Family,
I hope this message finds you well and that you had a wonderful weekend. As we gear up for another week of learning and growth at Walker-Grant, I'd like to share a few important updates and reminders.
Tomorrow kicks off a full week of learning for our students. Reminder—classes begin promptly at 7:40am.
Attendance

Also please take a moment to watch the linked video clip below with your child as we continue to focus on the importance of regular school attendance. Remember attendance matters because your child matters to us.
