What are the responsibilities and job description for the Child Care Provider position at Bruneau-Grand View Jt. School District #365?
About the Bruneau - Grand View School District
On April 8, 1957, Albert Black, a school board member, offered to provide the school district
enough ground for the Bruneau Elementary School. The current elementary school in Bruneau
was built on Albert Black’s donated land in 1958. The elementary in Grand View was also built in
1958 and was very similar in design to the facility in Bruneau. The present school was built on the
same ground the former elementary school was built on. In 1973 a bond was passed to build the
present Rimrock Jr./Sr. High School on a 40-acre site midway between Grand View and Bruneau.
Rimrock opened in 1976.
The Bruneau-Grand View Joint School District #365 now serves roughly 300 students from
Elmore & Owhyee county. Though our student population is small, we’re one of the largest
geographic districts in the state at 5,725 square miles. The parents of our students support our
ranching & agricultural-based economy; many are working in the industry in some form. Our
largest company-based employers include Simplot, Idaho Power, BLM and the school district.
In the last 10 years, BGV worked hard to re-define itself with a strong, deliberate focus on the
culture and climate of our schools. This has led to a dedicated staff and significant gains in
student achievement throughout our District, which we will continue to improve upon in the
coming years.
We opened the daycare in August of 2023 and are so pleased with the opportunities it has
opened up for our staff and their families. In August of 2024, we extended the daycare to our
families that participate in our preschool program. We intend to continue growing the program
and to extend it to the broader community in the coming years.
