CELEBRATING Ms. Susan Thorpe! Sunday is National Speech Language Pathologist day and East Midvale is so fortunate to have Ms. Thorpe as a full time SLP. She works with students to build communication skills and ultimately confidence . On any given school day, you will see Ms. Thorpe in the halls or in her office space engaging with students and making the learning fun.
FAMILY APPRECIATION EVENT Wednesday May 21 – 4:30 to 6:00 pm. East Midvale teachers and staff thank you for working with us and supporting your child’s learning this past school year. Our Family Appreciation Event will have giveaways, information on supporting your child’s learning over the summer and food. There will be resources to ensure that students maintain their current reading and math skills and continue learning and growing all summer! Please let us know you will attend by clicking on this link RSVP here!
YEAR END AWARDS: Students will receive Soaring Eagles awards as well as Participation awards for Student Council and Safety Patrol. We respectfully ask that parents refrain from bringing flowers, balloons, gifts, signs, etc. to these award programs. At EME we celebrate student achievements equally and it becomes challenging when one student’s award overshadows another. Thank you.

SUMMER EBT: Utah SUN Bucks (also called Summer EBT) provide funds to buy food during the summer when schools are closed. Families can get $120 on a SNAP benefits card for each eligible school aged child. If you receive SNAP, TANF or Medicaid, and/or you qualify for free or reduced school lunch, your school-age children will automatically be enrolled, and SUN Bucks will be added to your SNAP account or issued as a separate electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card this summer. If you attend a school where everyone receives free lunch (this is the case for East Midvale Elementary!) and you do NOT receive SNAP, TANF or Medicaid, you can apply for SUN Bucks here. Applications must be submitted by August 31, 2025. For more information, please click on this link: https://jobs.utah.gov/customereducation/services/sebt/

It is through the state of Utah and is a health insurance plan for children who are not currently covered by health insurance, who are not eligible for Medicaid or regular CHIP, and who meet income requirements.
