As the chilly fall weather blows into the Wasatch Front — and the yearly cold and flu season begins to heat up — Canyons District families are encouraged to redouble their efforts, especially in this era of COVID-19, to do daily health checks before bundling up and heading out the door for school.

“Unfortunately, we have had several children with fever, cough, or other COVID symptoms attend school and expose their classmates and school personnel to illness,” said Dr. Dagmar Vitek, Medical Director of the Salt Lake County Health Department, in a statement announcing the availability of new school-level data on the county’s COVID-19 dashboard. “Anyone with COVID symptoms needs to isolate at home for 10 days from when symptoms began or 24 hours after their fever ends, whichever is longer.”

Dear Eagles,

We had a wonderful week last week, and our students did such a great job. I’m proud of how they are following all the new procedures with masks and physical distancing.

Kindness Is Cool

All of our classrooms participate in a Morning Meeting each morning to build and foster relationships and learn SEL skills. This week our whole school will be focusing on Learning to Listen and Respect Others as part of our Social Emotional Learning. Our year-long focus is Kindness, and we try to note those acts of kindness that we see our students doing. Students learning at home can also join us in our kindness focus.
