We are thrilled to welcome your little one into our school community and embark on this wonderful journey of learning and growing together.
As a reminder, in order to meet the age requirements for kindergarten in Utah, your child must be five (5) years of age on or before September 1st. Additionally, with the passing of HB 331, beginning on May 1, 2024, students are required to be toilet trained before being enrolled in kindergarten.
We are excited to continue to offer full-day kindergarten to all our students as well as a half-day option to accommodate the needs of our families. Here’s a brief overview of each program:
Full-day kindergarten: Students attending full-day kindergarten will follow a schedule equivalent to the other grades in the school. They will receive comprehensive instruction on the state-approved standards in all content areas, including the arts, PE, and library.
Half-day kindergarten: Students attending either a half-day kindergarten class or a half-day kindergarten option within a full day kindergarten class will attend school in the morning and will receive instruction that prioritizes the state-approved standards for the content areas of English language arts and mathematics as required by R277-730. Please note that midday transportation will not be provided for those attending half day kindergarten options.
You will be provided more details on schedules and other pertinent information.
We want to assure you that all kindergarten students will be invited to participate in class parties, after school events/activities, and field trips, ensuring a rich and engaging experience for your child.
We understand that this is an important decision for your family, and we are here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or need assistance with the registration process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you,
Courtney Geisler
