Good afternoon Granite Park parents,
TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK: Our teachers do so much! We love and appreciate them. Our PTSA is sponsoring some thank-you activities for teachers this week. Please encourage your students to show appreciation for their teachers in some way.
RISE TESTING: Students will be finishing up their Math tests and starting their Science tests this week. Make-up tests for students who were absent will take place next week: May 13th through May 17th.
SUMMER PROGRAMS: Granite Park is one of several free, excellent summer school programs taking place in South Salt Lake this summer. Attached are two flyers that highlight some of the other programs taking place. We hope that each Granite Park student will be involved in at least one summer school program (some students take part in 2 or 3 of them–which is wonderful).

STUDENT REGISTRATION: For current 7th grade parents, if you have not registered your student for 8th grade next year, please contact Ms. Dial in the counseling office: 385-646-5178.
CHANGE TO BREAKFAST ROUTINE STARTING MONDAY MAY 13TH: For the last two weeks of school, our school will be piloting a new breakfast program. All students in the school will still receive a free breakfast, and they can still eat the breakfast in their classrooms, but instead of picking up the item from their classrooms, the students can go to the cafeteria starting at 7:30 and pick up their breakfast items there. After this two week pilot, we will decide as a staff whether we go with this new service model, or whether we keep our current Breakfast in the Classroom approach. Your input as a parent is welcome. Please email Dr. Wilson with any feedback that you have at awilson@graniteschools.org.
PTSA-SPONSORED FAMILY NIGHT: This Friday evening, our PTSA is hosting a family movie in our auditorium: Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. The movie will start at 6:30 on Friday May 10th. The event is free, and snacks can be purchased. We hope to see parents and students there!
8TH GRADE AWARDS ASSEMBLY: Following tradition, Granite Park 8th graders will have an award assembly. This year’s reward assembly for 8th grade will be on Tuesday May 14th from 9:45-10:45. Parents are welcome to attend.
We are excited for all the great things happening the last three weeks of school as well as for the great summer programming that we will have.
Thank you,
Aaron Wilson
Principal
