Monday Mustang Message

February 20 – 23, 2024

• We hope you enjoyed your long weekend! Please make sure that your students are attending school each and every day. Our average daily attendance has fallen significantly recently. Each time a student misses school, they miss out on critical information in the stepping stones of learning. Children who attend school every day or miss at most 1 day a month have an easier time learning the reading and math skills they need. 

• Have you signed up for Family Teacher Conferences yet? Teachers have sent out sign-up schedules on ParentSquare. Please make sure to sign up to talk with your student’s teacher! Families who attend will also receive a $3 coupon for the Scholastic Book Fair from the PTA.

• We have a limited supply of COVID-19 Antigen Home Tests available for free here at the school. The tests expire on 3/18/24. If you are in need of some tests before that time, please inquire at the office. 

Looking Ahead:

• Wednesday, February 28, and Thursday, February 29: Family Teacher Conferences, PTA Scholastic Book Fair, Community Resource Fair
• Thursday, February 29: Early Out at 1:25pm
• Friday, March 1: No School
• Wednesday, March 6: Mobile Vision Clinic – please contact Heidi Sanger via ParentSquare or in the office if your student is in need of vision services.
• Maturation Program for Fifth Graders: “Your children are growing up.”  While growing up can be hard, talking about it needn’t be. To help start conversations about health and the maturation process, Canyons District sponsors an informational program for fifth grade students and their parents. Families may attend the presentation that best fits their schedule. Parents are advised to leave younger siblings at home.
