Dear Granite Families,
We had a fantastic week celebrating our teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. Every teacher dedicates their time, energy, and resources, often away from their own families, to provide your students with valuable learning experiences and opportunities. I truly believe that we have an unmatched faculty at Granite, and they deeply care about each one of their students.
As always, thank you for supporting our wonderful school community. Please reach out anytime with questions or feedback.
Warmly,
Elcena Saline

Superintendent’s Award!

Congratulations to Graham Butler – he was selected to be the 2025 Superintendent’s Choice Award Winner from Granite Elementary!
Graham greets every person he sees every day and asks how they are. He checks on other students if he sees they’re sad or hurt. He advocates for others when he sees they need help. He has a positive attitude and works hard at every task. It has been amazing to see his learning progress over the past few years.

Volunteer Appreciation

Granite has an unbelievable fleet of volunteers throughout the school year. Thank you so much to every grown-up that comes to help teachers, prepare materials for art, run our special activities, participate in PTA, organize programs, work with kids, and so much more. Our school couldn’t function without you. Thank you!
