VIDEO. From the Granada Community Services District (GCSD) board meetings on Thursday, October 16th, 2025 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting with remote comment. 

“We have plans to expand with a preschool for the 2026–2027 school year.

The plan is that the pre-school will be located in the current school building together with our elementary school and our middle school will be moving across the street.

At this stage, we’re still in the early phases of planning, and while many details are still being finalized, our goal is to open in time for the start of the school year in August 2026.

We can’t wait to begin this journey and look forward to the opportunity of welcoming new students into our community!” ~ Maria Hallberg, Office and Program Coordinator for Wilkinson School.
