Dear Granite Families,We are quickly coming up on the time of year where lots of activities happen. Sometimes routine changes can create big feelings or attitudes in students. Talking through what to expect in the day and what the exciting/hard parts will be may help ease some of these changes.PTA Tee Shirt Contest – our PTA is seeking student’s designs for next year’s Grizzly swag. Students can create a tee-shirt design and submit it to the office by May 3rd to be considered. Please see the attached flyer for rules!Homework Feedback Request – I am seeking feedback from our community on the homework our students are assigned. As we plan for next year, it is important that we are making decisions based on research and best practices, along with community input. Please share your thoughts by answering the two questions at the bottom of the Apr. 14 Growl post on Parent Square. Thank you for your input.Environmental Request Forms – Last Call – As a friendly reminder, you may fill out an Environmental Request form to express your student’s environmental needs to help us in building class lists next year. The forms will be available in our main office from April 10 – April 28. We will do our best to accommodate requests.Work @ Granite! – We currently have two job openings for next year!
