Dear Granite Families,
Welcome back to 2026! As we settle into the new year, we know the transition back to school can feel very different for each family—grueling for some, a relief for others. No matter how it has felt, we are so happy to have our students back in the building. Their energy, smiles, and curiosity bring our school to life, and we’re excited to continue learning in the weeks ahead.
As always, thank you for supporting our wonderful school community. Please reach out anytime with questions or feedback.
Warmly,
Elcena Saline

Device Reminders ⌚️

We know many students may have received watches or phones over the holidays. During the school day, students may not interact with personal devices.
Watches may be worn only for telling time, and phones should remain off/silent and stored away.
For safety and consistency, all communication between students and parents during the school day must go through the school office. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a focused learning environment for all students.
