From Mrs. Taylor

Dear Mt. Nebo Families,

As we approach the end of the semester and the upcoming holidays, I want to express my gratitude for your support during my first year as principal of Mt. Nebo Middle School! It has been a year of learning, growth, and appreciation for our partnership we share with you.

Together, we've navigated challenges and celebrated successes, all while keeping our students' well-being and education at the forefront. I've been impressed with the willingness of our faculty and staff to try new things and take on additional responsibilities, all to benefit our students.

As we look forward to the holiday season, I wish you and your families a healthy, happy, safe and restful break.

Happy Holidays!

Parents,

We are presenting information on UVU Prep in our 6th grade Math classes today and wanted to pass information along to you about this amazing program. UVU Prep is an early STEM and Engineering summer program offered through Utah Valley University. The program is a great opportunity for students who excel in math and science to get hands-on experience in the field while earning early high school credit. The application deadline is January 31st. If your student is interested, be sure to watch the video we presented in class. Also, please see the attached flyer. Every year, a handful of Mt. Nebo students attend UVU Prep, and we would love to see more of our students benefit from this amazing opportunity!

We know that transportation from our end of the valley is always a concern. UVU offers UTA vouchers for students to ride the bus to and from campus, and many Mt. Nebo families get together to carpool. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to the program coordinator at UVU, Marianne Parker: mparker@uvu.edu 801-863-6356

Best,

MNMS Counseling Department

Padres,

Presentamos información sobre UVU Prep en nuestras clases de artes del lenguaje de sexto grado el lunes y queríamos transmitirles información sobre este increíble programa. UVU Prep es un programa de verano temprano de ingeniería y STEM que se ofrece a través de la Universidad del Valle de Utah. El programa es una gran oportunidad para que los estudiantes que se destacan en matemáticas y ciencias obtengan experiencia práctica en el campo mientras obtienen créditos tempranos de la escuela secundaria. La fecha límite de solicitud es el 31 de enero. Si su estudiante está interesado, asegúrese de ver el video que presentamos en clase. Además, consulte el folleto adjunto. El año pasado tuvimos un récord de 11 estudiantes de Mt. Nebo que asistieron a UVU Prep, ¡y nos encantaría ver que más estudiantes se beneficien de esta increíble oportunidad!

Sabemos que el transporte desde nuestra punta del valle siempre es una preocupación. UVU ofrece vales de UTA para que los estudiantes viajen en autobús hacia y desde el campus, y muchas familias de Mt. Nebo se reúnen para compartir el viaje. Si tiene preguntas adicionales, no dude en comunicarse con la coordinadora del programa de UVU, Marianne Parker: mparker@uvu.edu 801-863-6356

Mejor,

Departamento de Consejería de MNMS
