Welcome to the wonderful community of Grandview Plaza! I am Lynn Inkman and I serve as the Principal of Grandview Elementary. This is my first year in this position and I am very fortunate to be a part of this learning community.  We are one of fourteen elementary schools in the USD475 school district. While the district as a whole is outstanding in its accomplishments and its focus on students, I do not believe you will find a more dedicated and caring staff than we have right here at Grandview Elementary.  Each teacher is highly qualified and does what it takes to use best instructional practices to ensure your child learns what is taught.

We are dedicated to educating the whole child and being sure that we meet the academic, physical and emotional needs of our students. We work in a partnership with the staff, parents and students to accomplish this goal.  We at Grandview acknowledge the role of the parent as a child's first educator and draw on that expertise and knowledge to help us reach our goal of educating each and every child to their highest potential. While we emphasize academic excellence, we also stress the importance of good citizenship and personal responsibility. Your child will be educated in a safe environment where all are shown dignity and respect. Our students are nurtured into reaching their potential by teaching them that it is through their efforts that they will succeed.  This is reflected in our motto, "Gators believe with effort we succeed!"

Our teachers are adept at working with diverse populations, military families, special needs learners and English Language Learners. The result of their commitment is seen in our students continually reaching State Standard of Excellence in reading and math.

At Grandview Elementary we assume the positive, strive for excellence, never stop believing, drive out fear and prepare to be amazed, each and every day…..I invite you to join us!

My door is always open. I look forward to working with you as a part of our learning community to do all we can for you and your child.
