Parents,
Welcome to a new and exciting 2019-2020 school year. We are looking forward to seeing our returning students and meeting our new students. I know this is a long post but please read all of it. Our main form of communication with parents is our classroom blog. We ask you subscribe to our classroom blog to receive email notifications for weekly classroom updates as well as special classroom notifications. Here are the instructions on how to subscribe:
- On right hand side of the blog page you will find “Subscribe to our blog” click on the blue link under that heading
- When the “Email Subscription Request” page comes up enter your email address
- Enter the spam code into the box provided and click on “Complete Subscription Request” button
- Go to your email (if it’s not there check junk folder) to complete the activation steps. Your subscription will not be complete unless you do this last step!
Here are some other things to help make our new beginning run more smoothly:
The state of Utah is continuing its assessment for all kindergarten age students. To allow us the time necessary to accomplish this we will be using August 12 through August 16 for assessments. There will not be school during this week for kindergarten students. Kindergarten and preschool students will have their first day of school on Monday August 19th. We are asking all parents (preschool students as well) to sign up for 1 time slot for your child. During the hour they are with us we will do the assessment as well as give each student an orientation to the classroom and playground. The preschool students will only come for 30 minutes for an orientation.
Please sign up here https://www.trackitforward.com/site/389525/events
The school and MAPA use the track it forward website as a way to help parents keep track of their volunteer hours as well as find all volunteer opportunities in one place. You will need to create an account before it will allow you to sign up for a time slot. It can take up to 24 hours for the registeration process to be complete. Please be patient. If you are having problems please email me.
For those parents who do not sign up by the August 12th they will be assigned a date and time.
We have a snack available each day for our students. We ask families to sign up for and provide snacks for 2 weeks during the year. The sign up sheets can also be found on the track it forward website. https://www.trackitforward.com/site/389525/events

We are hosting a PreK-9th Sneak A Peak event on Friday, August 9th from 3-6pm. On the half hour, beginning at 3pm, then again at 3:30, 4, 4:30, 5, 5:30pm – Ms. Jess and I will give an overview of the classroom as well as answer any questions you might have.
