Greetings Families and Friends, 

We made it through the first week!  There has been a lot of learning for everyone-not only all the content but also in the electronic portion as well, and families have really rallied.  Further, as I continue to collaborate with faculty, I feel upbeat about teaching and learning for this year! 

We will continue to hand out items and packets on Wednesdays.  Teachers are communicating directly to families about this. Some grade levels hand out weekly, while for others it may be once-a-month, etc. Please, check with your student’s teacher if you have any questions. If you do need to pick-up items this week, Kenya will let you in and you can just go to the grade-level tables in the foyer for those. Science materials have not arrived yet. I will keep you posted once they do. 

This week’s schedule will follow the same as last week’s, except for Friday. That day will be a digital learning day district wide. That means students will get a break from the lessons but be expected to complete work independently. The assignments will be posted on the teachers’ Canvas pages for that day. 

Our School Community Council (SCC) met on Wednesday and meeting minutes will be shared on our Indian Hills website soon. We will continue to work on our school wide goals that were shared there. With that, here is a quote from one of my favorite basketball players, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "What we need are positive, realistic goals and the willingness to work. Hard work and practical goals." We have a solid plan and the will dedication to accomplish this. Also, discussed in that meeting were the cell towers. If you would like to share your thoughts and feelings about the cell towers on Indian Hills’ school roof, please, reach out to our school board representative, Melissa Ford at Melissa.ford@slcschools.org. 

Here is a reminder from our PTA. 

A REMINDER FROM THE PTA: 

• T-SHIRTS: Have you verified your information on the PTA Website and ordered your school t-shirts? This is your last chance to order student t-shirts to ensure that they get the correct size. We will be placing our t-shirt order tomorrow, Monday September 21st so we can get them in your hands prior to the fun events that we have planned starting in a couple of weeks. (More details coming soon) 

• FUN RUN: We will have much more information about the upcoming events next week, but we are looking for family and corporate sponsors for our PTA Fun Run. If you or a business you know would be interested, please reach out to us.
