Please join us for our annual High School and Middle School Pizza Meet and Greet! Meet your High School/Middle School Achievement Administrators and fellow high school/middle school students. You can also obtain your Four-Year Plans. Please note that you only need to attend one of these events, and pizza and a drink will be provided for your student.

Dear Parent/Guardian:

The mission of Granite Mountain Charter School is to develop the individual gifts of our students.  Our students will become proficient in Common Core State Standards and become critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and innovative leaders prepared for academic and real-life achievement in the 21st Century. The mission will be accomplished in a personalized environment that fosters successful achievement through quality, personalized, standards-based education, which could include online coursework, offline textbook work, and unique hands-on and experiential learning experiences facilitated in partnership with students, parents, staff, and community.

High School Activities' live and in-person opportunities are designed around our school mission. During the school year, we will be recording our live virtual classes and events for reference and taking pictures of what is happening at our in-person events. These videos and images may capture your child's participation, directly or indirectly. You may see your child’s image, name, and/or hear their voice in these recordings and/or images. These images and/or videos could potentially be shared in our school's yearbook, our weekly family newsletter, The Trailblazer, and shared at our school board meetings. A completed waiver is required to participate in both our live virtual classes and our in-person opportunities being provided through the High School Activities Department and must be signed before the start of these classes. 

In addition to giving permission for recordings and images, we are asking that the policies within Granite Mountain’s Parent/Student Handbook as well as the following virtual code of conduct must be adhered to for students participating in our live virtual classes and in-person events.

PARENTS, PLEASE NOTE: Extracurricular activities are not guaranteed and are at the discretion of the school and can be revoked at any time. The acceptance and inclusion of the student is at the discretion of School and subject to program standards and criteria. Student shall comply with all applicable codes of conduct and maintain high ethical and moral standards. Parents will be required to provide immediate supervision for their students during interactions with certain vendors to comply with state law. If immediate supervision is not possible when required, the specific vendor’s programs will not be available to the family. Vendors with "Parent Supervision Required" indicated on their vendor profile, as designated in our procurement system, have background checks that do not satisfy the requirement of AB 130 (Live scanned through the California Department of Justice and FBI). Vendors with "Parent Supervision Required" indicated on their vendor profile require parent/guardian supervision for the entire length of the service. The parent/guardian understands and willfully accepts to provide direct supervision of the student for the duration of services with the vendor.
