As we enter the winter months, we wanted to share a few reminders.
During the holiday season, please check GHS’ school calendar as our schedule may be different from your local district. Students should follow GHS’ calendar for school breaks and days off.
We will continue to participate in activities outside through the winter months. Students should come dressed accordingly. Should students need help in acquiring proper attire, please reach out to the school or see our “Community Resources” tab.
GHS uses WMUR News 9 as the designated location where school closings are posted. These closings are also 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 home district closes due to weather, your child will not be expected to attend school and transportation will not be provided.
If your home district has a delay, transportation will be provided at the new time of opening.
That’s a Wrap on First Quarter
The first quarter ends on Wednesday, October 29th. Students will have a half day and then staff will work on finalizing report cards.
The first quarter has been filled with a variety of activities. The US History class took a trip to the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum. One of the English classes has been working on building a literary shed. The middle school took a field trip to Boston to enhance their unit on Ancient Egypt. Last week students had the opportunity to carve pumpkins. All students have continued to participate in wellness activities, all school sportsball, and advisory.
This week, to end the quarter, students have a lot of activities lined up! First, it is spirit week. Each day has a theme and there are potential prizes for all students who participate. On Friday students will participate in an all school activity in the morning. In the afternoon, there is an optional Halloween Party for students to participate in during rewards should they choose.

Mid-Term Progress Reports and Reminders
Staff have been working on mid-term progress reports. You should receive these in the next week or two.
As we prepare to move into October we wanted to share a few reminders. Students will continue to participate in wellness activities outside so they should dress appropriately as it begins to cool down. Students do not have school on October 13th as all staff will be participating in training.
It’s been a great start to the 2025-2026 school year! Students have settled into their classes and have already been busy with a variety of activities.
Our daily wellness activities have been a big hit, with students enjoying time outside playing GaGa ball, basketball, and other field games. Today, we had our first all-school sportsball event, which was a huge success.
This Friday, students will get a chance to take on the challenge of our ropes course. In addition, the advisory program kicked off last week, giving students time to focus on developing their social and emotional learning skills.
Welcome Back
We are so excited to welcome students back on Monday August 25th. Staff have spent this last week gearing up for another great year at Granite Hill School. The summer was a busy time that saw areas of the school receive some upgrades such as fresh paint, new furniture, and a new outdoor hutch for our bunnies. If you have any questions or concerns before students return please do not hesitate to call the school.
