School Photo Days
This year, all MGSD students are invited to attend our districtwide photo days on either August 11 at MG21 or August 21 at Granite Ridge School.
Siblings are welcome to attend the same time slot, making this a smoother experience for all. Each location will serve any MGSD student, regardless of their home school.
While we strongly encourage attendance in August, make-up days will be available after school starts for those who cannot make the earlier dates.
