Grizzly Growl Feb. 9, 2024 Dear Granite Families,
We are so excited for our first Inclusion Week! Students will learn about different ways kids communicate (words, sign language, iPads, etc.) and learn how to approach and include peers with differences. Please reach out if you have any questions. We are so excited to highlight our students’ relationships and create more opportunities for inclusive communication and play.

Questions to Ask Your Students
- You had a SHELTER drill this week. What did you do? What is a shelter drill for? (Everything inside the building is normal. Teaching continues and students can move about within the building as usual. All students and staff who are outside come inside and we secure exterior doors. We would shelter in case of a natural disaster, exterior hazmat spill, or another event that requires instructions from outside authorities.
- What was the most challenging thing you did this week? What made it challenging? What did you do to try to persevere?
