FREE GROCERIES from the UTAH FOOD BANK: On Tuesday March 5, the Utah Food Bank will be distributing a bag of free groceries to students and families.

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.
