Student acts of criminal behavior that place a person or persons in imminent danger are prohibited in all Granite School District schools, on school grounds, to and from school, at school sanctioned activities or when students are being transported in vehicles dispatched by the district. Disciplinary sanctions will also apply to students whose conduct, in locations other than those mentioned, threatens or does harm to the school, school property or persons associated with the school.

Such behaviors include, but are not limited to: assault, possession, control or actual or threatened use of a real, look alike, or pretend weapon; possession or selling of illegal substances; acts of gang behavior or any act involving the use of force or the threatened use of force against life or property regardless of intent.

Child Safety
On rare occasions, it may be necessary to cancel a class due to facility problems, instructor illness, etc. We make every effort to contact class members and let them know of the cancellation. It is sometimes impossible, however, to reach everyone. To insure a child will not be left alone in a school in the event a class has been cancelled and notification has not been possible, please make certain that your child is in the classroom and a teacher is present before you leave the school. For the protection of your child, we are requesting that you adhere closely to this regulation.
