Dear Granite Families,Nearly every family I speak to about Granite shares that our special education infusion programing is one of the best things about our school. We are so lucky to have our special class students and general education students be part of each others’ school experiences. We will be highlighting and celebrating these practices during Granite’s Inclusion Week February 12-16th. We can’t wait to celebrate our buddy relationships and engage in play and learning together.
