Emergency Preparedness
Student safety is our primary concern in all our schools and facilities in Granite School District. We regularly review safety processes and procedures in our schools. Discussions occur with faculty and staff regarding situational awareness and areas of vulnerability. We regularly practice and review our safety procedures with students. We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe as well as discussing safety with your children outside of school and supporting our schools during practice drills and emergency situations.
