A local firefighter from our neighborhood came and spoke to first graders about how to stay safe if they are ever in a fire situation.  He expressed the importance of children knowing their address and phone number in the event there is an emergency.  We are thankful for our first responders!

We have been talking about community helpers in first grade.  Today we were visited by Officer Petersen and our local EMT's.  They shared important safety tips such as knowing your address and phone number, wearing seat belts, and wearing a helmet when riding bikes, scooters, etc.  We are thankful for our first responders!

It's that time of year already for SEP conferences on October 9th. Sign ups are now available.  If you look on the right side of the website you will see a quick link for grade levels.  Choose your students grade level and scroll down until you find your child's teacher.  Then select a time slot that works with your schedule.  You will notice that appointments are booked back to back.  Arriving a few minutes before your scheduled time will allow for your teacher's schedule to run more smoothly.

Thanks and we look forward to meeting with you!

Fourth Grade had a great opportunity to learn more about the Native Americans of Utah from Title VI. We learned sign language to Children of Many Colors, discusses the origins of our country, and even got to see our very own Aliya Cruz do a healing dance! Thank you to Title VI and Aliya for putting it together!
