Back To School Information
We are excited to welcome our students back for the start of the 2026-2027 school year! The first day of school is Tuesday, September 1.
School Supply List
School Hours
8:00am-3:05pm
Beginning in the Fall of 2026, the district will strategically focus the morning supervised student arrival window to exactly 15 minutes prior to the start bell, regardless of weather. By compressing the arrival window, we maximize our human resources. Staff will be fully present, strategically assigned, and dynamically available during the highest-density influx of students, providing a higher net level of building security and structural support.
Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures
Please follow these traffic patterns for an efficient drop off and pick up experience at Granite Ridge School.

School Photo Days
This year, all MGSD students are invited to attend our districtwide photo days on either August 10 at MG21 or August 20 at Granite Ridge School.
Siblings are welcome to attend the same time slot, making this a smoother experience for all. Each location will serve any MGSD student, regardless of their home school.
While we strongly encourage attendance in August, make-up days will be available after school starts for those who cannot make the earlier dates.
