Changes to Grady Security Protocols and Events

Due to changes in Hillsborough County Public Schools' policies, Grady Elementary updated the 2021-22 Security Procedures. On Tuesday, August 10th, parents will be able to walk their students to their classroom door. Starting on Wednesday, August 11th, students will enter campus independently through the designated front gates. Extra faculty, patrols, and Grady's Security Officer will be available to assist as needed. 

In addition, no visitors will be allowed on campus for the first 30 days. As a result, we have cancelled Tiger Tears (August 10th) and Grandparent's Breakfast (Sept 2 & 3). 

Due to the new Covid protocols, we have tentatively scheduled after school enrichment clubs to run from September 27th - November 17th. More details will be shared in early September.

Parents and families,

We know many students rely on our schools for access to nutritious breakfast and lunch throughout the academic year. The needs of our children do not go away once the school year ends.

That is why we are pleased to announce Hillsborough County Public Schools will be providing grab-and-go meals this summer at no cost to children 18 years of age and younger at 36 school sites.

Students will be provided with two days’ worth of breakfast and lunch every Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Distribution will begin on June 2nd and run through August 5^th.

If a child is not present while picking up the meals, parents should be prepared to provide their child’s student number or their child’s name and birthdate for tracking purposes.

The summer grab-and-go sites are as listed below:

Students enrolled in face-to-face summer school programs will also be provided free breakfast and lunch each day.

We thank our student nutrition services staff for continuing to work diligently to feed our learners year-round.

Have a great summer!

Addison G. Davis

Superintendent of Schools
