“Soar to New Horizons” 2021-2022 School Theme
Dear Parents,
Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful fall break!
This first term without a doubt has been one of the most challenging terms I can ever remember in 22 years! This past term has been stressful for students, parents, and teachers.
The challenges we face are concerning, but I still believe that everything that happens to all of us provides us with an opportunity to ask ourselves, “What can I learn from this experience?” No matter how difficult our situation is, our response can help us grow or take us down.
So, with term one behind us, what can we learn from this? Even if a student failed a class or two, what can they learn from this experience? Please take a minute and talk about this with your child and I promise, this discussion will have the power to help your child learn from mistakes and move forward in a positive direction.
It’s hard to believe that we are only a few short weeks to Thanksgiving break (my favorite holiday) then only a mere month away from Christmas break. It goes without saying that we need to help our kids stay on top of their work.
Please check on your child’s Skyward account and then with teachers to see how your child is doing. In addition, check on Canvas and see if your child has the modules completed in each class. Modules organize the class by weeks or units and help create a flow of what your student should do. Modules contain files, discussions, assignments, quizzes and other learning materials. Finally, always read the course syllabus and mark assignment due dates on your calendars.
Please make note of the following:
1. Safety Update
Our next drill will be on Tuesday, October 26 during A1. It will be a combination of “Hold, Secure (formerly Lockout), and Lockdown.
2. Driver’s Education
In-person Driver’s Ed starts next Monday for a before and after-school class. If interested please sign up in the Google Form on our Driver’s Ed Page on the Cedar Valley website.
If you have any questions please email Mr. Roberts at [email protected]
3. Wreaths Across America Community Service
Please join us for Wreaths Across America’s-Honoring our Military Heroes service activity at the Utah State Veterans Memorial Cemetery on Dec 18th, 2021 at 10:00 am.
This service project will be a heartwarming holiday event for the whole family, where before Nov 30th you can follow the link below and donate $15 per wreath-purchasing more if you would like, and then register to volunteer to lay your wreath. If you are unable to purchase a wreath to lay you can still volunteer to lay other donated wreaths.
Then on Dec 18th bring the whole family to enjoy a short veteran tribute ceremony, followed by laying your wreath on the grave of a fallen soldier, and as a family thank them for their service. We will also have games and other family activities. This holiday season let’s come together to support fallen Utah soldiers as well as current military families in our community. Proceeds of the wreath purchases will be donated to military youth and family programs at Camp Williams.
Follow the link to preregister to lay your wreath and thank a soldier and we look forward to seeing you there!
