Dear parents,
It was great to visit with many of you at Parent Teacher conferences this past week! If you missed PTCS and had questions about your student, you can email your child’s teacher with questions. His or her contact information can be found on our school website: https://schools.graniteschools.org/graniteparkjr/. On this website you will also find resources for your students, our counseling center website, notes from parent meetings, and more!
Our PTSA and Community Council both have open meetings this year where any parent can attend and give their input. Our next PTSA meeting will be Thursday October 10th at 3:30. Our next Community Council meeting will be Friday October 25th at 1:30. Come meet other parents and give your input on school events and plans to enhance our students’ experience here at Granite Park.
If your student missed picture day this past week, our make-up picture day will be on Wednesday October 23rd.
Thanks to Mayor Cherie Wood who came to our school, launching our GEAR UP week. Students enjoyed fun activities and events during their lunches and wore their college gear each day. We are proud to be a GEAR UP school because of the great opportunities it provides our students for college readiness. Footage of Mayor Wood’s proclamation, as well as other fun content from the week, is on our Twitter feed @graniteparkjhs.
This week our soccer teams play Wasatch Junior High today and Bonneville Junior High on Wednesday. Our track team has a meet tomorrow at the Cottonwood Complex (4400 S 1300 E).
Remember the following dates this month where we have no school:
Thursday October 17th FALL BREAK
Friday October 18th FALL BREAK
Friday October 25th STUDENT NON-ATTENDANCE DAY
Thank you,
Aaron Wilson
Principal
Granite Park Junior High School
