Please click on the links below for the 2020-2021 School Supply lists. If there are any changes due to coronavirus, we will share them.

For familes in need, the PTA is hosting a drive to provide basic school supplies. More information and who to contact is coming soon.

Friday, May 22 – Grady will be collecting and returning student materials according to the schedule below. Families should drive through the front parking lot and remain in their cars. An employee will ask for the child’s name (if you have a car hang tag, please display) and will bring your child’s materials to the car. Families should return any library books, teacher books, or textbooks they may have at home. Laptops will NOT be collected at this time. Students with siblings will be able to pick up every child’s materials during the youngest child’s time. 

• PreK and K:    9:00 – 9:45am

• 1st Grade:     10:00 – 10:45am

• 2nd Grade:     11:00 – 11:45am

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is coming up next week, May 4-8th. Unfortunately, we won't be able to honor our teachers and staff in person as we normally would, but we still want to ensure that they feel our gratitude for everything they've done and continue to do for our students. 

Given the unprecedented nature of this year’s event, we are asking for some help from our Grady students and families. If your student would like to mail a card with personal words of appreciation or a gift card for the teachers/staff, you can send via email or mail a card directly to the school before May 7th as our teachers will be stopping by the school to clean out their classrooms next week. Please clearly mark the name of the teacher/staff member on the card to ensure it is routed to the correct person. Mail cards to Grady Elementary School, 3910 Morrison Ave, Tampa, FL 33629 (please do not personally drop off any cards or gifts at the school). You can also send egift cards via email, but we encourage you to confirm the email address and give your teacher/staff member a heads up so that the email does not get deleted or lost in junk mail. 

The PTA will provide our teachers and staff with a goodie bag on May 5th. The goodie bag will contain a coupon for a lunch at Wright's that can be picked up at their convenience, a Grady baseball hat, an Rtic tumbler with Grady logo, baseball cookies, crackerjacks, as well as a note of thanks for all they do in a drawstring backpack. 

Thank you for all of your support! 

We are excited to announce that the Grady PTA won the following awards from the Hillsborough County Council PTA:
