Principal’s Message: Click here for the  September Newsletter Thank you to everyone for a fantastic first week of school!  Students, parents, teachers and staff all excelled in every way.  I am so glad that everyone had such a good week.  We are thrilled to have our kindergarten students starting on Tuesday.  Leadership is our focus as a Leader in Me School.  We are working to live and teach the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  As we look out our “End in Mind” of becoming a Lighthouse School we see that having students teach the habits at home is an area where we want to improve.  Parents, Look for information this year about a program for students to earn badges by teaching the habits at home.  If you have experiences of the students teaching them at home please let us know so that we can document incidents like that.  This community is amazing, and I want to thank all of your for what you do to help and support the school.  We had 38 people help contribute to the Eagle Scou

May Newsletter Please see the Newsletter for all announcements.  There are many great things going on this last month of the year.  I hope we all have a safe and fun rest of the school year.

April's Newsletter Spring Break is here! I hope everyone has a fun and safe week off. Safety is always a concern in schools, and in the last week you may have noticed a few changes to our pickup and drop off areas. Parents please follow the directions in our loop and remember that these changes are for the safety of our students. No amount of time saved is worth risking the safety of yourself or others. Here are some ways that we can make sure our pick up and drop off area runs smoothly.  Only use the loop when dropping off students. Please do not pull in the bus parking area.  Always make sure that children cross the road with an adult.  Always listen to the adults on duty.  Arrange seating in the car so students can get out on the passenger side so that other cars are not trying to pass on the side they exit from. When our fourth child was born I went and put the baby’s car seat in the “perfect” spot, my wife then promptly told me that it had to b

March's Newsletter is FINALLY here!

Here is the February Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians, Beginning Monday, February 1 st , 2016, Box Elder School District will be administering school climate surveys.  The purpose is to gather stakeholder input about teachers, principals, and schools.  All parents/ guardians are invited to participate by filling out an online survey.  Responses are anonymous and no personal information is collected.  Results will be given to teachers and administrators and used to improve classrooms and schools.  The surveys are short, taking about 10 minutes to complete.  There is a link to the survey on the school website.  If you do not have a computer, please come and take the survey at the school where we have a computer set up for you, or you can take it on any public computer such as those available at a public library. The survey is available in English and Spanish. You can access the survey by clicking here: Parent Survey All 3rd-5th grade students will take the survey in Computers:  Student Survey or b

Here is the January Newsletter Welcome back from break.  It is difficult to come back from such a relaxing and fun time of the year, but I am excited to be back at school today.  There are a few things that we have to look forward to in the new year.  Our DIBELS testing will be on Feb 2-3 and we are excited to see how our student’s have improved in their reading.  We also have a Sonic night coming up.  Sonic will be donating 20% of their profits on 1/26 to our school.  Look for more info.  Before our vacation we had a couple of donation drives that our school was a part of.  Our school district collected over 1,400 stuffed animals for EMS to give to comfort children dealing with emergencies.  Our school collected around 100 of these.  We also had the toy drive where our school collected and donated 170 toys to the Family Support Center.  Thank you for your generosity and caring as we looked to share with others in the community.  And I also want to thank Mrs. Bailey and others t
