Dear parents,
As we finish RISE testing and wrap up the school year, I want to thank each of you for the honor of working with each of your children. Each student at Granite Park inspires me to do better and be better. I will miss the 8th graders going on to high school, and look forward to seeing our 7th graders return next year. As we recently honored the educators in our building during National Teacher Appreciation Week, I realized how much I will miss our wonderful teachers over the summer.
Next year we will have three parent openings in our Community Council. All interested parents are encouraged to run for office. Attached are Declaration of Candidacy forms are due on Thursday August 29th by 3:00 PM in the main office.
