Dear Families,
We loved the opportunity to meet with parents last week and collaborate with you concerning your child’s education. We are excited to work towards the goals that were set and continuing improving. Thanks for supporting our Book Fair, and thanks to PTA for providing dinners for our teachers both Wednesday and Thursday nights. We appreciate you!

Fifth-Grade Students, Parents Invited to Maturation Programs
To ensure fifth-grade students and their parents are able to take advantage of Canyons District’s popular maturation program, eight presentations have been scheduled through the month of March at four locations. The aim with this program is to provide consistent, sensitive and approved health and maturation instruction districtwide. All girls and boys presentations are conducted by Carrie Ann Kemp, a popular professional speaker who has been educating and entertaining young audiences, and their parents, for nearly 25 years. Families may attend the presentation that best fits their schedule. Parents are advised to leave younger siblings at home.
