It’s difficult to know who has more trepidation about discussing health and the maturation process, pre-teens or their parents. But while growing up can be hard, talking about it needn’t be. To help you rock “the talk,” Canyons School District has developed an informational maturation program for fifth-grade students and their parents. Presentations conducted by the professional speaker Carrie Ann Kemp have been scheduled through the month of March. All parents are encouraged to attend these free events with their children, and to choose which date best fits their schedules, so that they can continue the discussion in their homes. Please follow this link for event locations and times.

May the force be with you! Students at East Midvale attended a Star Wars themed assembly last week where the new On-Time Alliance incentive program was launched! Baby Yoda, Rey and Luke Skywalker made special appearances!

GOAL: all students at grade level doors at 8:15 am ready to greet teachers at 8:20 am and begin the school day. Each class has an attendance goal and when it is reached, students can add a piece to the Star Wars Lego set. When the Lego is completely built, the whole class will have a special party to recognize and celebrate their commitment to being on time to school.

Thank you parents for all your past and continued efforts to help your student attend every day and be on time. It makes a huge difference when teachers can start the day with everyone on time and ready to learn.
