If you or your student need more time to transition to and from school, please park in the parking lot and cross at the crosswalk flags with them.  Thank you. SAVE THE DATE:

• Sept. 4 – Labor Day.  No school
• Sept. 5 – Mobile Food Pantry at EME – any students and EME staff can receive a free bag of groceries through Utah Food Bank.
