English newsletter | Spanish newsletter

Granite Park Jr. families, we had a great first week of school. It was awesome to see all our students again. Below are some reminders about Granite Park Jr. and our expectations.

Lockers, Backpacks and Lunches

All students at Granite Park will be provided with a binder and a planner. These items need to be brought to school every day to ensure they are prepared to learn.

Starting August 24th, backpacks will no longer be allowed at school. If a student does bring a bag to school, the school will hold the bag until the end of the day for the student.

If your student needs a locker due to special circumstances, please contact the school so we can make arrangements for students to get a locker and discuss locker responsibilities.

All students at Granite Park will receive free breakfast and lunch each day. Since we do not allow backpacks or lockers, we have a system where we collect home lunches for students and put them in a secure fridge until it is time for lunch. Students who bring home lunches to school will need to drop off their lunches before school in the main office.

Granite Park Website

Please visit our website for information relating to all things Granite Park. You can now review our updated school manual that outlines our policies, procedures, school calendar and more.

Granite Park Jr. High website

Bus Information

All our students will receive their school ID/Bus Pass on Monday, August 17th.

Starting August 24, 2026, only students with an ID that shows they should be on a particular bus will be allowed on the bus. Students must show their ID each time they board the bus, or they will not be allowed to get on the bus to and from school.

Students who do not qualify for a bus can fill out a “courtesy rider” application that may allow the student to ride the bus nearest to their home. The number of “courtesy riders” allowed will be determined the start of September.

Applications can be found at the school for students to pick up. Please see Granite School District transportation information for guest rider application details.

Please access our website for a list of bus stops and times for pickup and drop off.

Información en español

Granite Park Jr. familias, tuvimos una gran primera semana de clases. Fue increíble ver a todos nuestros estudiantes de nuevo. A continuación, se presentan algunos recordatorios sobre Granite Park Jr. y nuestras expectativas.

Casilleros, Mochilas y Almuerzos

A todos los estudiantes de Granite Park se les proporcionará una carpeta y un planificador. Estos artículos deben ser llevados a la escuela todos los días para asegurar que estén preparados para aprender.

A partir del 24 de agosto, las mochilas ya no estarán permitidas en la escuela. Si un estudiante trae una bolsa a la escuela, la escuela la retendrá hasta el final del día para el estudiante.

Si su estudiante necesita un casillero debido a circunstancias especiales, por favor contacte a la escuela para que podamos hacer arreglos para que los estudiantes obtengan un casillero y discutir las responsabilidades del mismo.

Todos los estudiantes de Granite Park recibirán desayuno y almuerzo gratuitos cada día. Dado que no permitimos mochilas ni casilleros, tenemos un sistema donde recogemos los almuerzos de casa de los estudiantes y los colocamos en un refrigerador seguro hasta que sea la hora del almuerzo. Los estudiantes que traen almuerzos de casa a la escuela deberán dejarlos en la oficina principal antes de la escuela.

Sitio Web de Granite Park

Por favor visite nuestro sitio web para obtener información relacionada con todo lo de Granite Park. Ahora puede revisar nuestro manual escolar actualizado que describe nuestras políticas, procedimientos, calendario escolar y más.

Sitio web de Granite Park Jr. High

Información del Autobús

Todos nuestros estudiantes recibirán su identificación escolar/Pase de Autobús el lunes, 17 de agosto. A partir del 24 de agosto de 2026, solo se permitirá en el autobús a los estudiantes con una identificación que indique que deben estar en un autobús en particular.

Los estudiantes deben mostrar su identificación cada vez que aborden el autobús o no se les permitirá subir al autobús hacia y desde la escuela.

Los estudiantes que no califican para un autobús pueden completar una solicitud de “pasajero de cortesía” que puede permitir que el estudiante use el autobús más cercano a su hogar. El número de “pasajeros de cortesía” permitidos se determinará a principios de septiembre.

Las solicitudes también pueden encontrarse en la escuela para que los estudiantes las recojan. Consulte la información de transporte del Distrito Escolar Granite para obtener detalles sobre la solicitud de pasajero invitado.

Por favor acceda a nuestro sitio web para obtener una lista de paradas de autobús y horarios de recogida y entrega.
