Dear Parents,
Thanks PTA and everyone who contributed pies for our staff on Pi Day last Friday. We appreciate you!
Don’t forget that next Monday is no school for students.
Book Blitz
Good luck to all the 4th and 5th grade students participating in Book Blitz this week. The students have been reading and preparing for the competition for months and this week we’ll find out which students we’ll be sending to the district level competition. Thanks Jennifer Barney and Rebecca Dura for supporting our students!
Choose Kindness
We are on the lookout for any acts of kindness at Altara.
Michelle Zaelit (3d grade) Michelle is always setting a good example of listening in class and she is a good, kind, patient partner to anyone and everyone in the class – no matter what!
Sienna Taylor (3rd grade) Sienna is so kind and patient! She is always willing to help her classmates and will work with anyone!
Georgia Hoopes (kindergarten) Georgia was so kind to cooperate with others to clean up an activity without being asked! 🙂
Wesley English (kindergarten) Wesley is such a kind friend. He always offers his spot in line during dismissal. Go Wesley!
Paige Malquist (kindergarten) Paige shows kindness in many ways! She always includes others on the playground and makes great choices!
Nevaeh Clark (4th grade) Naveah helped clean up the class and put the chairs on the tables without anyone asking her.

Fifth-Grade Students, Parents Invited to Maturation Programs
Canyons District’s popular maturation program proves that, while growing up can be hard, talking about it needn’t be.
Each year, CSD sponsors an informational program for fifth-grade students and their parents with the aim of providing consistent, sensitive and approved health and maturation instruction districtwide. All girls and boys presentations are conducted by Carrie Ann Kemp, a professional speaker who has been educating and entertaining young audiences, and their parents, for nearly 25 years.
Eight presentations have been scheduled from March 11 through April 2, 2025. Families may attend the presentation that best fits their schedule. Parents are advised to leave younger siblings at home.
Spanish interpreters will be available at the Midvale Middle location.
