Reopening
Grand Rapids Christian Schools administrators and staff have been hard at work preparing our reopening plan. We used parent survey responses to inform our plans and reviewed Governor Whitmer’s Return to School Roadmap, announced on June 30, to make sure our plan aligns with her executive order. In addition, we have developed and continue to refine our plan, while staying in close contact with local, state, and federal health officials to make sure our plans adhere to all required guidelines and protocols.
