Bus Pass Required for Secondary Students in Fall 2024
Starting with the 2024/2025 school year, all jr. high and high school students who qualify for busing must present their student ID card to board the bus.
If your student qualifies for busing, a bus number will be printed on their student ID card. This number corresponds to their bus route. Your student will not be allowed to board the bus without presenting their ID and corresponding bus number.
This ID card will be mailed to you before the first day of school, and it will include your student’s photo from the previous school year. This is the same ID card that is tied to school food service and other school uses.

Google Data for Those Leaving the District
For individuals who are leaving Granite District at the end of the school year, Granite Google accounts are no longer active or accessible after graduation, retirement or leaving the district for other reasons. It’s important to backup any data you want to preserve. Allow yourself plenty of time to do this since it can be a lengthy process depending on how much data you will be backing up.
The preferred method of backing up your documents is by using the following instructions for Google Takeout.
If you need assistance with this process, please work with your school Technology Coach or Library Technology Coach.
