Principal's Message:

Welcome to Grand Rapids Elementary School. I am very proud of the Grand Rapids students, staff, school, community and the Otsego School District. Grand Rapids serves approximately 360 students in grades Preschool through five. We firmly believe all children can and will learn given the appropriate environment and should be adequately prepared to succeed in the 21st century.

At Grand Rapids Elementary we are committed to teaching life long skills, using multiple and effective strategies to measure learner performance with real life contacts and activities. The outstanding support of parents and community, along with our strong educational program help make Otsego a great place for our children to learn and grow.

Please feel free to stop in at the office, or email me.
