Parking:

Please park in a marked stall. Do not park along the red painted curbs at any time during the day. Parent parking is in the south parking lot.

Drop Off Zones/Drive Through:
Please use the south drive through for student drop off and pick up. Please pull forward to the far south end of the drive through (where the red curb ends) so traffic does not get congested. Students must be dropped and loaded at the curb from the passenger side of the vehicle. Please do not have children exit or enter the vehicle while in the second/passing lane. If you need to leave your vehicle, please 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.

Keep up the walking and biking. Remember to use the progress chart to track your efforts. Submit your progress chart online when complete to be entered to win. Learn more at WalkMore.SafeRoutesUtah.com.

PTA is now collecting entries for this year’s Reflections contest. This year’s theme is “Heroes Around Us.”  We welcome all students to enter their original creations centered on our theme in any of the catalogues. Students may enter each category one time, if they choose.

As your students are beginning to form their ideas, have them focus on the heroes in their everyday life.  We must be very careful with copyright laws and cannot accept any entries that use copyrighted material (ie, Marvel, Disney, DC Comics, etc.). Any entry violating copyright will have their piece return to fix and re-enter.

Official rules and entry forms are available in the office or on the link provided below.

Entries may be turned into the office and must be received by October 12, 2018.

We look forward to seeing all the wonderful items students enter!  Happy creating!

PTA is excited to sponsor our Fall Book Fair.  Students will get to preview the book fair with their classes early in the week.  If your child is planning on spending $20 or more without a parent present, please send a permission note.  If you would like to volunteer to help with a shift at the book fair please visit: https://volunteer.scholastic.com/#/signup/VqW7OH5Os

For this fair we are offering 5 Scholastic Dollars for each completed shift, with a maximum of 15 Dollars. We please ask that children are left at home. Please look at the schedule and find a time that works for you! We will train you if you have not volunteered in the past, it’s very simple.

The book fair is open Wednesday 7:30am-7pm, Thursday 7:30am-7pm and Friday 7:30am-9:15am.

We are currently taking orders for school shirts, we have attached our order form and we have some in the front office.  School Shirts are $8.00 each (+2.00 for 2XL). We accept cash, check or credit.  Checks should be made out to Eagle Valley Elementary. Credit must be done in person, in the school office. Please return form and payment to the office by Oct. 3^rd.  We also purchase shirts at cost in order to make it as affordable for parents and students as possible.

SCC needs one more parent volunteer to join them. What is SCC? SCC is the Schools Community Council. School improvements are the responsibility of everyone. SCC is one way we can work together to make our school more successful. Every year we come up with a greatest academic need for the school year. Then we come up with a plan and help act on how to utilize that plan. Our school receives funds from our states trust lands and only the SCC can decide where those funds go to assist our greatest academic need. Our SCC is an advisory board that consists of the principle, assigned teacher(s) and parents. It is overseen by our local school board. We encourage more participation and diversity in our SCC to help us run more smoothly and effectively. If you want more info feel free to let us know or ask our SCC president Jennifer Davis [email protected]

We have had a number of bikes and scooters reported stolen.  As a school we highly recommend that kids lock up their bike/scooter.  Sometimes kids accidently take other students bike not realizing it and they usually return them the next day.

If you are a dad who can volunteer in the classroom and/or during lunch in the playground then we want you to be a “Watch Dog.”  The background fee has been dropped to $35 so we hope this will help encourage more dads to volunteer. Come talk to our secretary about how to sign up.

Be on the lookout for fliers with further information on this fundraiser.
