I’m going to grad school 9 months from now, but need to take one month off 2 months from now for some classes in preparation. What should I tell my manager? I would still like to go back to work after this month off until grad school starts, but am afraid I will get fired if I reveal my plan is to quit eventually for school. Working remotely over this month can technically be possible, but due to class scheduling the work would have to be done after business hours (after 5pm) and I would miss all meetings, making team communication difficult

They will find out your lie later, why burn bridges when you can simply discuss and handle it in more efficient way.

I recommend having a frank conversation with your manager about you intending to attend graduate school. Lying isn't a good way to go with something like this.
I was also working when I got into grad school and I negotiated to work remotely while I attended grad school. I recently had a coworker that returned to school to get her MBA. Everyone at work was super supportive of her decision.
