Dear Parents and Students:
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parent/teacher conferences will be held on February 7th and 8th , 4-7pm, like they were in the fall. No appointment is necessary to meet in person. Tuesday, Feb. 7 will have one hour of virtual conferences, 6-7pm. Check the attachment for instructions to sign up for the virtual conferences.
SOUPER BOWL OF CARING
We are participating as a school in the “Souper Bowl of Caring” during the week of January 30 through February 10th . There are more than 8,000 students in the Granite School District living at or below the poverty level. Sadly, many of them don’t eat at home on weekends, holidays and school breaks. The Granite School District is facing a hunger epidemic. The Granite School District has over 700 homeless students. If you haven’t skipped a meal, it might be hard to understand how students find themselves in this predicament. There are parents choosing between rent, medicine, and food.
THE SOLUTION?
You! It takes your donation to fund these programs! The Souper Bowl of Caring is designed so that every participating group donates 100% of their donation to the charity of their choice. By donating to the Granite Education Foundation, 100% your donation will be used to fight the hunger epidemic in the Granite School District. Donations can be made on our website or in person or students can donate during each lunch.
The SBO’s have set a goal of raising $1500. We will be having various activities to collect donations throughout the next two weeks. We prefer money as the Granite Education Foundation and Food Pantry has 7 times the buying power than we do. For example, if one can of stew cost $1, we could only buy one can. But the Foundation and Pantry can purchase 7 cans with the same dollar. If each student brought $2 we would meet our goal. Thanks for all your help in this great cause.
PARKING IN BUS ZONE:
Parents, please remember not to park in the bus zone on the east side of Wasatch from 2:15–3:00pm. We have 4 buses that come at various times. Space is at a premium especially with the snow. Please watch this video for our drop off and pick up procedures:
