Did You Know That...
- We had HUGs graduation last week. Congratulations to those who graduated!

Lunch Balances
Please check your child's lunch account balance and make sure it's up-to-date. Thank you!
Field Day Volunteers
Field Day this year will be on Wednesday, May 22nd. PTA needs a lot of volunteers to make this a great day for our students. If you would be willing to help, please call or text Kristina Morris at 801-628-5388.
**Please note that students will not be able to participate in field day unless all library fines are paid.**
Attendance
I want to take a moment to stress the critical importance of ensuring your child's regular attendance at school. Too many absences - excused or unexcused - can keep students from succeeding in school and in life. How many are too many? 10% of the school year - that's 18 missed days or 2 days a month - can knock students off track.
We have too many students who are considered chronically absent (18 or more missed days of school). While we understand that circumstances may arise that occasionally necessitate your child's absence from school, such as illness and family emergencies, please make regular attendance a top priority. Ultimately, ensuring your child's regular attendance is a decision that rests with you as parents.
Please know that we are here to support you in any way we can. If you are facing challenges that affect your child's attendance, please reach out to us. We are committed to working together with you to overcome any obstacles and ensure that your child has every opportunity to succeed.
