Garnet Valley is a strong community banded together by caring, generous, and thoughtful families. We are proud and grateful to be a part of this community ~ To provide the education, resources, and support for your children as they learn and grow.

On behalf of the entire Garnet Valley School District community, we extend our gratitude to each and every one of the brave individuals that fought for us.

Our sincere thanks and appreciation to Glenn Abrams and Kim Griego-Boruch as they step down as the Garnet Valley Student Council Advisors.

Congratulations to the our GVHS students who have achieved scouting’s highest ranking with Bethel Township’s Troop 191, led by Joe Forward and Daryl Kern, and Concord Township’s Troop 260, led by Jim Davis and Greg Murray. We present these Eagle Scouts with Certificates of Achievement on behalf of the Garnet Valley School District and the Board of School Directors.

We are excited to announce a change in leadership within our Transportation Department. Ms. Arlene Mann, who has served our district as the Dispatcher for over 7 years and as a driver for the department since 1993, has been promoted to Supervisor of Transportation.

Due to a number of conflicts with other events within our school community, the GV-CTC has rescheduled the New Realities of Parenting event to Wednesday, November 9th. The event will still take place at 7:00 p.m. at Garnet Valley Middle School.

As you now know, BusPatrol outfitted the entire fleet of Garnet Valley buses with automated enforcement technology to detect the license plates of vehicles that fail to stop for school buses, putting children at risk.

Fire alarms at GVMS were triggered by an issue in one of our Family and Consumer Science classrooms. As a result an evacuation was held. Due to the time of day and the number of students and employees outside of the building, our buses and district transportation will be delayed. All buildings will be affected.

As of October 1, 2022, and through the end of the 2022-2023 school year, Garnet Valley School District schools, excluding Garnet Valley High School, will be able to serve students a school breakfast at no charge.

Monday, September 26th begins the religious celebration known as Rosh Hashanah. It is a time for looking forward to a new year with anticipation and reflecting on the past year to improve ourselves for the next.

This year’s program will be held at Garnet Valley Middle School on November 3rd, at 7pm. This unique opportunity is available to all K-12 parents to learn, share, and support each other as a community.

Our administrative team has been working to support our new transportation supervisor to navigate the opening and through this support, we have identified areas of improvement. These improvements will begin on Monday, September 12th.

There was an accident on Route 1 between Stoney Bank and Valleybrook Roads. Currently, the district transportation fleet has no access to Walnut Hill, Brandywine Circle, Lydia Hollow, or Bonnie Lane. Emergency Management Services estimate that it could be close to 10AM before the issue is resolved.

The Board unanimously approved the 2022-23 District Health and Safety Plan and also supported the goal of normalizing student life throughout the school community. Board also approved $10M to move forward with planning, design, and critical work at Pennington. This decision does not mean that the district is committed to moving forward with either project. Instead, it approves the expense of planning and design and a portion of the totality of the projects.

The Board of Education of the Garnet Valley School District will receive sealed bids for the purchase of:

Used 48 passenger fully tracked lift bus with air conditioning or used 30 passenger fully tracked lift bus with air conditioning.

On Wednesday, July 20th from approximately 7:30AM to 10:30AM the Pennsylvania State Police will be using part of Garnet Valley Elementary School in order to train for an active shooter event.
