It’s time to spring into volunteering! With vaccination rates picking up, and the expanding availability of rapid COVID-19 testing, we are now able to safely welcome parents, grandparents, and other helpers back into our classrooms — and it couldn’t happen at a more opportune time.

As we look to finish the year strong, and make the most out of the last few months of instructional time, our teachers could use the extra hands and our students could use the extra encouragement.

“We’re at that point where, by taking the right precautions, it’s safe. And the help is needed,” said Canyons Superintendent Dr. Rick Robins. “One of the great strengths of Canyons District has been having parents and volunteers in our buildings working with our students, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be welcoming them back.”

2nd Step Social Emotional Learning Tip of the Week

Students are learning PROBLEM SOLVING skills. Lessons use the acronym S.T.E.P. to help students remember the skills.

FIRST STEP – calm down and say the problem without blaming others.
SECOND STEP – Think of safe solutions. Come up with safe and respectful ideas to solve the problem.

Notice when your child thinks of solutions to their problems. Reinforce this with specific feedback!

Parent Script Tip: “I see that you both wanted to play with the ball and you have thought of a solution to take turns playing with the ball. This is a safe and respectful solution.”

Look for the rest of the Problem Solving Steps over the next weeks in the 2nd Step Tip of the Week!
