We're glad you have stopped to see our school district's website. Our district enrolls over 1,250 pre-school through the 12th graders in three buildings. We are continually working to improve our students' academic achievement by increasing rigor, while promoting relevance and relationships with our students. We are located in the Township of Grass Lake, in Jackson County in the south-central area of Michigan just south of Interstate 94, approximately 50 miles west of Detroit and 10 miles east of Jackson.

Along with our main web page, which you are currently viewing, our website has four other start pages that can be found under "Buildings" in the navigation bar below our header. Continuing across that bar you will find general information about our school district and our community.
You will will also find navigation bars on the left side of each page containing information that is more specific to each of our buildings. It is our intention to make this page as easily accessible as possible. We invite comments toward improving our web presence, which can be sent to dmoeckel@grasslakeschools.com.

Parent Engagement is Vital to Student Achievement and Personal Success
According to research, the most accurate predictor of a student's achievement in school is not income or social status, but the extent to which that student's family is able to:

  1. Create a home environment that encourages learning
  2. Communicate high, yet reasonable, expectations for their children's achievement and future careers
  3. Become involved in their children's education at school and in the community

These three seemingly simple steps require dedication and commitment form all students, parents, and school personnel. The resulting benefit of this investment in time and effort is well worth the future aspirations and success of every child. Click here to access the list of Academic Benefits of Parent Engagement.
