William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night
Many of our 5th and 6th graders have been practicing for this year's performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Evening performances will be on Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st at 6:00 p.m. in the Activity Center at Whitesides Elementary. Come enjoy a night of Shakespeare and watch our amazing thespians.
STEAM Night
STEAM Night is coming on Thursday, March 28th, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. Besides the fun activities we will have for all ages, students' artwork will be displayed throughout the building (hence the "A" in STEAM). We'll also have pizza for everyone. Come enjoy a fun night with the family.
Kindergarten Registration 2024-2025
Kindergarten registration will take place April 8th - April 12th. Packets are available in the office. When you come in to register, there is a short online parent screener that will need to be taken at the school. You will be able to access it with your phone or use the iPad in the office. You will also sign up for a time for your child to complete an assessment in May at the school. If you know someone who has a child that will start kindergarten in the 2024-2025 school year, please let them know to come and register during April 8th-12th.
Lunch Balances
Please check your child's lunch account balance and make sure it's up-to-date. Thank you!
Library Books
If your child has late or missing library books, those need to be returned or fines paid before the last week of school.
Please know that if books are not returned or fines paid, your child will not be able to participate in Field Day at the end of the year. In addition, those students who have all of their books turned in and/or fines paid off will be rewarded with a movie and popcorn in May during their library prep time.
Book fines follow students to junior high and high school, even if they move schools within the district. Please make it a priority to return the library books that your child checks out so that we can use our allotted money towards new and current books, rather than books that need to be replaced.
Thank you for your help and support in getting our books back to the library for others to check out.
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**
