Greetings from Nibley Park School (K-8)

Parents,

We will start student re-entry to school on Monday, January 25, 2021. Teachers are actively planning to provide the best learning opportunities for students who are both in person and remote. Parents should have submitted your preference about returning by January 15, 2021.  Students will be placed according to the information that was received. If you did not respond as to whether you want your student to remain in remote learning or return in person, the student has been placed on remote learning. It is important that you remain with your present choice until the end of second trimester, March 4, 2021. You will have an opportunity to make a change of placement after this date.

Presently, the schedules for students to return in person are as follows:

Kindergarten - 1^st grade – January 25, 2021

2^nd - 3^rd grades - February 1, 2021

4^th - 12^th grades - February 8, 2021

7^th and 8^th grade teachers are now actively working on their schedule for return and additional information will be provided soon.

Please note that the following grade levels will have teachers teaching both in-person and remotely:

Kindergarten, 1^st, 2^nd, 4^th, 5^th, 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th. This means that each of these teachers will keep all of their own students.

3^rd grade will have one teacher teaching remotely and one teacher teaching in person. These students will be placed in classes according to your request for in-person or remote learning.

Safety Guidelines will be posted on our web site and available in the main office.

Breakfast will be provided daily from 8:00 - 8:25 A.M. The scheduled time for remote learners to pick up their lunches will be from 12:30 -1:00 P.M., Monday - Friday.  Both breakfast and lunch will be free for anyone, ages 0-18.

Please note that entrance levels will be labeled for students to enter the school. Red “x’s” have been placed outside for social distancing.

Students will be required to wear masks throughout the school day and while on campus. Students may wear their own masks, and each teacher also has cloth and disposable masks available in the classroom. If a student refuses to wear a mask, parents will be contacted immediately.

During this time, we want to be as safe as possible. Students will not be able to bring any treats to class. This includes birthdays or any other observances. Teachers may acknowledge students in class. Thank you for your support.

Our team will do our best to ensure that everyone is safe at our school. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child’s learning community.

If you have any questions, please contact either Mr. Spotted Elk (lamar.spottedelk@slcschools.org) or me (frances.battle@slcschools.org) by e-mail or phone, 801-481-4842.

If you are interested in applying to substitute, please contact me as soon as possible. I will provide additional information. You may also request to substitute only at our school.

Continue to stay safe.

Mrs. Battle

Dear Elementary Parents,

As part of the Salt Lake City School District’s ongoing commitment to meet the unique learning needs of its students, the Extended Learning Program (ELP) is available at all district elementary schools.

ELP assessment dates change from year to year, and we find it necessary to make some changes this year due to the Covid-19 impact. We hope that these changes will not impact the students’ equity of access to identification and ELP services. We will make a great effort to communicate these changes to all preschool and kindergarten parents.

Grades Pre-K-4 and Kindergarten: Universal screening is canceled this year

The assessment window for universal Pre-K-4 and Kindergarten was to take place during the month of January. Since students will not be back in school before the last week in January, this testing will not take place this year. We encourage you to help us get the message out to your teachers and parents that the opt-in application window for the ELP assessment for preschool and kindergarten is open until February 12, 2021. If you are aware of students who need gifted services in a Magnet ELP program, please encourage the parents to apply.

Magnet ELP schools:

• Emerson (dual immersion) – begins in 1st grade,

• Hawthorne – begins in kindergarten, and

• Whittier – begins in kindergarten

The application information is on each school website and can also be found on the district ELP website. The online assessment will be administered at the neighborhood schools in March. The Neighborhood ELP teacher will make arrangements for the testing.

Stay safe! Sincerely,

Michele Riggs

Supervisor, Extended Learning Program

Dear Salt Lake City School District community,

What qualities do you want to see in our new Superintendent? Now's your chance to tell us.

We are conducting a nationwide search for our new Superintendent. Part of that process is to survey our community about what they think are the most important characteristics and qualities a new Superintendent should possess.
