BOARD OF EDUCATION LETTER

CENSUS DAY

  • Today, April 1st, isn’t just April Fool’s Day. In 2020, it’s also Census Day! If you haven’t had a chance to fill out the Census already, please make sure you fill it out!
  • It’s easy to do, takes only a few minutes, and can be done online. Follow the instructions you received in the mail, or get information at: https://my2020census.gov/. 
  • Having our families complete the Census is an important way to make sure our neighborhood schools receive funding for EVERY student. Everyone should be counted, regardless of race, gender, age, or immigration status.
  • Make sure you fill out the Census today!

KEEP CALM & PRACTICE SELF-CARE

I hope your April is off to a great start!

Sincerely,

Dr. Lexi Cunningham
Superintendent 
Salt Lake City School District

What a week it has been! We are saddened that so many things were canceled due the COVID-19. The lower grade Talent Show, D.E.A.R week, Music programs and Picture Day, to name a few, will be suspended until further notice.

We encourage you to keep up to date with the Salt Lake District website, where you will be able to find the most up to date news regarding school communications www.slcschools.org/news/2019-20/coronavirus-information. Also, we encourage you to check your emails. Your students teacher will be sending communications and class work in the next week via email, so keep a look out for that as well.

Lastly, if you need to visit the school in the next day or two, please keep your children in the car. Parents are welcome to retrieve anything from the teachers, but the administration would prefer that children stay outside of school.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please take care of yourselves and your families. We will miss those cheery little faces at the school, but hope this will pass soon and we can get back to life as usual. 

Best,

Marie and Emily
