It’s Not the Plane, it’s the Pilot! 2024-25 School Theme
Monday, December 2, 2024
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! As we move forward, we have just three short weeks to finish Term 2 strong. Please make note of the following:
- Finish Term 2 Strong Parent Support
Parents, please take a moment to review your student’s missing assignments in Skyward. Turning in assignments on time helps eliminate the common “My teacher hasn’t graded it yet” excuse for assignments showing a zero. While it’s true that late assignments may take a few days to be graded, timely submissions are typically processed much faster.
For parents of seniors, please keep a close eye on your child’s progress. Senior burnout is a real challenge, and the last thing we want is for a senior with “senioritis” to risk not qualifying for graduation at the last minute.
- Parents and Pizza Homework Event Dec. 3rd and Dec. 10th
We are holding a study group after school on Tuesday, Dec. 3rd from 2:30-4:30 pm and Tuesday, Dec. 10th from 2:30-4:30 pm. Teachers and student tutors will be available to assist students with their homework. This will be a great opportunity for your students to catch up on any assignments before our term ends on December 20, 2024. Parents are welcome to come help their student(s). Please see the flyer for more information. December Pizza:Parent Student Study Group.pdf

- Parents Beware
We have had several parents not receive attendance phone calls from the school because their student makes changes to their parent’s cell phone settings to block the school from calling. When the school number is blocked, the school will not be able to contact you through school phones for reasons other than attendance (i.e. safety, emergencies, discipline, phone conferences…etc). Please check your block list for these numbers;
- Main Office: 801-610-8825
- Attendance Office: 801-610-8827
- Counseling Office: 801-610-8826
The basics of checking:
- Android: Open the phone app, tap the three dots, select Settings, and then Block numbers.
- iPhone: Open Settings, tap Phone, and then Blocked Contacts.
- Compulsory Education & Attendance
Regular attendance is so important for your student’s success—not just academically, but in building strong life skills too. Utah State law (Utah Code §53G-6-202) requires parents to ensure their students attend school regularly and arrive on time.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind:
- Let Us Know: If your student will be absent, please notify the school. Communication is key!
- When to Stay Home: Students should only stay home if they’re sick. In some cases, we may ask for medical documentation to excuse an absence.
- We’re Watching Attendance: Schools are required to monitor attendance and will reach out if a pattern of non-attendance starts to develop.
- On-Time Matters: Starting the day on time sets the tone for success. Help your student be punctual—it makes a difference!
When we work together, we can ensure every Aviator gets the best chance to soar. If you have any questions about attendance or truancy, don’t hesitate to contact our attendance office or one of our administrators.

Thanks for helping us create a strong learning environment for every student, every day.
Regular school attendance is mandated by state law (Utah Code §53G-6-202) For any questions regarding attendance or truancy, please contact our attendance office or your administrator.
Attendance Works is a national and state initiative that promotes better policy and practice around school attendance, promotes tracking chronic absence data for each student, and partners with families and community agencies to intervene when poor attendance is a problem for students or schools.

- Title IX Survey
Alpine School District is dedicated to creating positive learning environments that meet students’ academic, social, and emotional needs. To support this, employees, parents, and students in grades 3-12 will take an anonymous Title IX Sexual Harassment Survey. These surveys will help Alpine School District identify areas for improvement in our response to reports of sexual harassment and discrimination. This anonymous survey is required of Alpine School District by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), and has been carefully designed to be age-appropriate for each grade level while meeting the requirements of the OCR.
This communication is to inform you that our school will be participating in the Title IX Sexual Harassment Survey next Monday, December 9, 2024.
Who will take the survey?
- Students in grades 3-6: Only those whose parents have opted in via Skyward will participate.
- Students in grades 7-12: Only those whose parents have opted in via Skyward will participate.
What will happen during the survey?
- Grades 3-6: Students will complete the survey at home with a parent or guardian. On December 3, 2024, parents/guardians will receive an email with links to both the student and parent surveys.
- Grades 7-12: Students will complete the survey at school between December 3-13, 2024, during a time set by their school’s administration. Parents/guardians will be notified of the date and time beforehand. The survey will be emailed to students and completed during the designated date and time.
