We hope you had a wonderful holiday!  We have enjoyed ours, and we are ready to have our students back in person. We have missed them!

Parents, every year, the PTA gives out awards for outstanding achievement in different areas. Part of the awards process is a write up, explaining why they are outstanding, that we can submit to the State PTA organization.

Now you don’t have to call in to let the front office know if your child will be absent. Just go on our school website and click on the “Report Your Student’s Absence” Tab and complete the google form.

As the weather continues to remain cold and sometimes wet, we ask parents that drop off their kids to remember to Safely Pull Up, Kindly Say Goodbye, and Responsibly Pull Away. Thank you so much in advance.

Early Arrivals: Track A students will be supervised outside 7:50-8:00. At 7:55 the first bell rings and teachers will bring students in at that time. This helps ensure that we start class at 8:00am. Track B students will be supervised outside 9:05-9:15. At 9:10 the first bell rings for B track and teachers will bring students in at that time. This helps ensure that we start class at 9:15am.

District policy states that students may not arrive at school earlier than ten minutes before class begins or be left waiting more than ten minutes after school. Formal supervision is provided only during that time frame.

Use the south drive through for student drop off and pick up. Pull forward to the far south end of the drive through so traffic does not get congested. We ask that you wait patiently “in line” and when an open spot becomes available to pull up cautiously. Students must be dropped and loaded at the curb from the passenger side of the vehicle. Do not have children exit or enter the vehicle while in the second/passing lane. If you need to leave your vehicle, pull into a parking stall and park, then proceed to the nearest cross walk to gain access to the school. Never leave a vehicle unattended in the drive through lanes.

For the safety of our students, we have set up the following procedures for drop-off and pick-up. We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe by following these procedures.

Drop-off procedure

A-track students may be dropped off in the drive through lane of the north or south parking lots. If you need to get out of your car, please park in the south parking lot. The north parking lot is for our employees.

B-track students should be dropped off in the south parking lot. The north parking lot is for buses only. If you need to get out of your car, please park in the south parking lot. This keeps our drive through lane moving.

Pick-up procedure

A-track students may be picked-up in the drive through lane of the north or south parking lots. Please do not park in the north parking lot and ask your child to meet you over there.

B-track students may be picked-up in drive through of the south parking lot. The north parking lot is only for buses.

We will hang a red flag in front of the school building when either the temperature is low or if we have poor air quality.  We also on occasion have red flag days due to other poor weather conditions.  During that time kids are to come straight into the school building through the front doors and/or the back entrance.

Here is a breakdown of the recess guidelines we adhere to for poor air quality. http://health.utah.gov/asthma/airquality/recess.html This applies to drop off in the mornings as well.
