Dear Granite District Parents,
We wanted to alert you that a proposed amendment to next fall’s (2026-2027) school calendar for Granite District is being considered by the Board of Education.
Tuesday, October 20th, 2026, is proposed to be a Legislative Instructional Exemption Day (Student Non-Attendance Day). The board will vote to approve this change during the June 2nd, 2026 Board of Education meeting. This would add an additional student non-attendance day to the already scheduled fall break.
This will allow an additional half-day of professional development and half-day of planning for teachers early in the school year. A tentative 2026-2027 school calendar (PDF) is linked here, and will also be available at the Granite School District calendar page after board approval.
We appreciate the ongoing feedback our communities provide in relation to the development of our calendars. As a reminder, you can view a video describing how the school calendar is created.
Thank you,
Granite School District
