The 2020 Census is Coming — Make Sure You’re Counted

School lunches. Special education grants. Training for teachers and support for families in need. Census results, and the programs and resources tied to them, affect our students every day. A complete headcount of everyone living in the country, the census only comes around once every 10 years, and the time to be counted — and to make sure your community receives its fair share of federal funding for schools — is coming. This month, every person living in Utah will take part in the 2020 Census. It’s possible to respond to the census online, by phone, or by mail starting March 12. It takes only 10 minutes, the information is kept strictly confidential, and if you don’t have access to a computer at home, we can help. Join us for “We Count Week,” March 16-20, and come complete the census at one of four Canyons District-sponsored Open House events. https://www.canyonsdistrict.org/district-news/item/12447-the-2020-census-is-coming-make-sure-you-re-counted

Dear Eagles,

Our school is looking awesome with all the fun Harry Potter decorations throughout our building! I visited every classroom today to sort students into houses. Ask your child what house they will be earning points for! It was fun to see the excitement growing for Literacy Month. Thanks, PTA!

Picture Day Next Monday, March 9^th, is spring picture day. Flyers will come home later this week with more information.

March Newsletter Here is the newsletter for March. It will also be posted on our school and PTA websites. March Newsletter 2020

Dear Eagles,

We are seeking your feedback on our proposed fee schedule for the 2020-2021 school year. This fee schedule was created in accordance with changes in the Utah Code and Utah State Board of Education Rules governing student fees. We would like to invite input from families prior to the Canyons Board of Education considering it for possible adoption during their regular business meetings on March 3 and March 17. Parents are welcome to attend those meetings and provide public comment. The meetings begin at 7 p.m. and are held in the Board Chambers in the Canyons District Office, 9361 S. 300 East in Sandy.
