Midvale Elementary School Teacher
Maestra de la Cruz’s dedication to her students, her collaborative spirit with colleagues, and her commitment to cultural education and beyond make her the BEST candidate for this year’s Midvale Elementary Teacher of the Year! She is the kind of teacher who not only educates but also inspires beyond the walls of the classroom.
ALL who know her, LOVE her! Maestra de la Cruz’s commitment to her students is unparalleled. She exceeds the basic expectations of teaching by fostering the growth and success of every student, not only in their academic journey but also in all aspects of their lives, while cultivating strong, supportive relationships with their families.
Maestra de la Cruz’ impact on our school community is immeasurable, and it will resonate for years to come. Her contributions make our community stronger, and the positive influence she’s had will undoubtedly continue to shape us for the future. Congratulations to Maestra Lucia de la Cruz, this year’s Teacher of the Year for Midvale Elementary!
Digital Citizenship: Being Alert Online
Teaching our students to be alert online is just as important as teaching them to look both ways before crossing the street. Here’s what being alert looks like in the digital world:
Pause Before You Post: Encourage your student to think twice before sharing anything online. Does it spread kindness? Does it protect their privacy?
Spot the Red Flags: Help them recognize unsafe websites, suspicious links, and messages from strangers. Not everything online is what it seems.
Create Safe Spaces: Talk about how their online actions affect others. Being respectful and positive makes the internet a safer place for everyone.
As a reminder, CSD parents/guardians have access to the CSD Technology Portal at https://tcp.canyonsdistrict.org/filter/to view and modify the Internet filtering level for their student(s), view flagged search terms, view Chromebook login time and request sites to be reviewed.
