Despite some rainy weather this week students have still been able to make it outside for walking and field games. The Wellness Committee is excited to announce that based on the overwhelming requests of students GHS is bringing back all school sports activities to take place during our wellness block. This is going to start this week with kickball.
GHS has a lot of exciting events coming up in the next few weeks including prom on May 30th, graduation on June 12th, and Speed Painter Rob Surette on June 17th. Stay tuned for more information on the end of the year events!
Grades for 3rd quarter closed April 3rd. As the weather is warming up students have the opportunity to spend more time outside during our wellness block. Students are currently offered basketball, weightlifting, meditation, and walking for outdoor activities.
Graduation will be on June 12th. The time is to be determined.
Both the middle school and highschool underclassmen celebrations will be on June 13th.
The last day of school will be on Thursday June 19, 2025.
GHS had a minor hiccup with access to our website. We have had accessed restored and are currently working on updating things such as the current menu. Please reach out to the school if you have any questions or concerns.
With winter on the horizon, here is a reminder of GHS’s school closing procedures.
GHS uses WMUR News 9 as the designated location where school closings
due to weather will be posted. These closings are listed online at
www.wmur.com. Once you go to their website, click on the tab for closings,
and you will see Granite Hill School listed. Granite Hill School DOES NOT do
a phone message or email to families when school is canceled.
If your student’s district closes due to weather, but GHS is still open,
transportation will not be provided and your student is not expected to come
in. If your student’s district has a 2 hour delay, transportation will pick your
student up after the 2 hour delay.
As we set the clocks back and the seasons are changing, there are changes happening at GHS too. Teachers worked on report cards last week and families should see first quarter report cards soon. Students continue in the same classes for the second quarter. For the second quarter the GHS community is excited to welcome Fatou on board. She will be teaching math. With holidays coming up we would like to remind everyone to keep an eye on the school calendar. In terms of scheduled days off students need to follow the calendar of GHS and NOT their home district.
Teachers have been working hard to prepare progress reports. Families can expect to see these in the next week.
We are now one month into the school year. Students have settled into the routine of their classes. This year, we have also implemented school wide fun Friday’s. This occurs on the last Friday of the month. This is a day taken to work on SEL skills through various activities including the ropes course elements and field games.
We are excited to start the new school year. Please see the attached newsletter for information about the start of the school year.
Thank you to everyone who helped make ESY a great summer experience for our students. Students who participated in ESY will now have over 2 weeks off before the new school year begins. We are excited for the 2024-2025 academic year. Staff are working hard to prepare for the new school year. We are excited to get students back in the building on Monday August 26, 2024. Our full school calendar can be found here. Please contact the school if you have any questions or concerns about the upcoming school year. We look forward to another great year at Granite Hill.
