Parent Update Week of February 5-9, 2024

LIVING TRADITIONS – Thank you to all those who attended our family night.  Check out our website post for pictures and videos.  Also see posts on our EME instagram @eastmidvale.

POSITIVE PARENTING CLASS – Happening on Mondays from 12-12:45 pm in our Family Learning Center portable.  Valerie Payne, our school social worker, leads the class with weekly topics on how to parent positively.

FREE GROCERIES from the UTAH FOOD BANK:  On Tuesday February 6, the Utah Food Bank will be distributing a bag of free groceries to students and families.  The bags are heavy (20 pounds) and if you are able to either pick up your student at school or at the bus stop to help carry, that would be helpful.  Parents can meet their students as they exit the gym on the north side of the school.
STUDENT SAFETY at Drop Off and Pick Up:  Thank you parents for driving slowly, using the one lane at the curb both morning and afternoon, for using north and south crosswalks to cross, and for pulling as far forward as you can.   Our top priority is student safety and these procedures help our community be safe for all.  Consider at afternoon pick up being IDLE FREE and turning off your engines while you wait.
