Miss Fielding Monday Minute – December 4, 2023

Dear Families,

Happy December! It is hard to believe that in just about two weeks it will be Winter Break. Hopefully there is some snow in our forecast. We are looking forward to a great week!

Winter Clothing Drive
This season, Altara plans to make a difference by participating in our annual Winter Clothing Drive event. Donate new clothes to help members of our community stay warm during the cold winter months! Scarves, gloves, boots, and coats can be donated to Altara by December 18th. We appreciate your support with this!

Remote Learning Days
As the temperatures are dropping and snow is in the forecast, there is a potential for remote learning days. If there is a potential for a remote learning day, it is a decision made by Canyons School District, but will be implemented in all schools. Students and families will be notified via email, phone call, and ParentSquare. Teachers will be available via email, ParentSquare, Zoom, Google or Meet on remote learning days.
