Dear Eagles,

What a whirlwind these last several days have been. We met today as teachers and staff members to learn how to hold virtual meetings and create plans for the future.

Our new motto is Flexibility. We will adjust and do our very best with new information and new circumstances. Please know that we are working hard to serve our community, and we already miss the students!

Plans for at-home learning will be shared shortly. The district offices will be sending that out and will have a link to a website for all schools. You are welcome to contact your child’s teacher with any questions about the work. The learning guides for these next two weeks were created by our district Instructional Supports Department. After that, if we are still out of school, teachers will begin creating the learning experiences for your students.

Dear Eagles,

Published author Chad Morris will be visiting our school Thursday to talk with our 3^rd-5^th graders about writing. This fits well with our literacy focus this month. The fire department visited our 2^nd graders today to teach them about fire safety and will visit our kindergartners next week. We appreciate these visitors coming to support our students!

Honeydukes

To help bring fun and excitement to our Literacy Month, the “Honeydukes store” will be open for business this Thursday again.

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

March 9, 2020

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
