Working with the Hillsborough Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), Hillsborough County Public Schools is seeking input from our stakeholders about the transportation challenges and successes experienced related to student routes to and from school.
Please take a few minutes to respond to the 2022 Getting Students to School Survey by clicking:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/
r/HCPS2022SRTS If your household travels to and from more than one school, please respond to the survey for each route traveled.
Your answers to this survey will be combined with other data to guide a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) study that TPO will be conducting.
School Board Member Jessica Vaughn is currently a member of TPO. The goal of this study is to identify a set of schools for more detailed transportation review.
This review will work to improve car line circulation, enhance the safety of current routes to school, and encourage students to walk, bike, and ride the bus to school.
Your participation is greatly appreciated. All responses will remain anonymous and will not be used to identify you in any reporting.

April is "Light it Up Blue Autism Awareness" Month.
This picture was taken last Friday at Grady. Every Friday is Light is Up Blue to promote Autism Awareness during the month of April. The students are decorating puzzle pieces which they will be displaying in the hallway by the office (where the Veteran Stars usually go). One of our students will be selecting a winner daily for a prize. The winners are being announced on the morning show. We have several classrooms with ASD students at our school. We also currently have a DonorsChoose Project going on that would benefit our ASD students here at Grady. You can click the link or use the QR code below to donate to Grady's DonorsChoose Project.
