As part of this effort, some fencing may be replaced, select areas will receive new or upgraded gates, and layouts may be adjusted to better manage access points. These updates are designed to create more secure campus boundaries while still maintaining a welcoming environment for our school communities.

During the coming weeks, students, families, and patrons may notice construction activity at various schools. Work will be scheduled to minimize disruption to the school day whenever possible, and all projects will follow established safety guidelines.

These enhancements are part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe, supportive learning environments. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as this important work is completed.

Specifically, fencing projects will happen at these schools in April/May 2026:

• Cottonwood Elementary
• Woodstock Elementary
• Fox Hills Elementary
• Hillsdale Elementary
• Hillside Elementary
• Hunter Elementary
• Fremont Elementary

It’s estimated that the above projects will be completed by the end of May 2026.

All other schools in Granite will be evaluated for fencing projects. Fencing projects at other elementary schools will happen over the next year, with projects at jr. and sr. high schools happening later on. Updates will be posted here on GSDFuture.org.
