No slip on/flip flops please!
Parents, please send your child(ren) in tennis shoes that either have shoe strings or Velcro straps. Slip ons are convenient but pose a safety issue for us. In addition, some are playing with their shoes taking them on and off causing a disruption in class.
Thanks for your support in helping our classroom management.

This two book set is sure to be a hit for grades 4-12!
"In this futuristic high-stakes adventure, humanity clings to cities on the highest mountain peaks above the deadly Fog, and airships transport the pirates of the skies. Daring 13-year-old tetherboy Chess and his salvage crew must face the dark plans of Lord Kodoc and work to save their beloved Mrs. E"
Book 2: The Lost Compass: a Fog Diver Novel
Both can be found in your school library!
Exciting News
The library had a wonderful surprise when it heard Elite Technical Solutions donated a thousand dollars to aid in getting students fired up for reading.
Educator and author Jim Trelease quoted "the single greatest predictor of school success is the size of the vocabulary of the incoming kindergarten child... those children who read the most are the best students in school" and stressed the importance of reading to your children, having all grades read daily, and taking your child to the library. Thanks to Elite Technical Solutions new selections can be purchased to help students achieve greatness, growth, discipline with love.
“We (Elite Technical Solutions) chose the Granger ISD Library to help build knowledge and to best prepare Granger ISD students. Reading not only builds imagination, it also builds intelligence! The more a person reads, the better their vocabulary exposure. We are so grateful to have our kids attend such an awesome school district! -Colt Ging”
Colt gets it and we appreciate him and Elite Technical Solutions!
