Dear Parents,
I hope you are having a relaxing and enjoyable summer. I wanted to take a moment to let you know of some of the things that are happening at Paradise Canyon Elementary for the upcoming school year.
It has been a busy summer for me with the remodel and getting things ready for the new school year since last year was cut short. We have many precautions in place for your children when they head back to school on Aug. 13 and will need your help.

From Aug. 17-21 we will dismiss early @ 11:45. THIS IS AN EARLY RELEASE WEEK! The afternoons will be by appointment only for assessments.
Kindergarten students will begin on August 20.
NO BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT- Due to precautions, WCSD isn’t holding any Back to School Nights. Your teacher will be sending you a video explaining policies in the classroom and where you will meet the first day. We aren’t permitted to have any visitors in the building so parents will drop off by the outside doors of the teacher’s classroom.
School Lunch
You can send a check or money to school on the first day of school to pay for your child’s lunch. We encourage students to pay by the week or month. You can go to paypams.com to pay online. The prices are as follows: The cost of milk is $0.50
If your student qualified for the lunch program last year, you will still need to fill out a new lunch application for this year. If your child qualified for free lunch, please don’t send any money with your child; however, you will need to fill out a new lunch application online within the first two-weeks of school. The lunch application information will be in the 1st day packet.
Home Visits-
This year our faculty will be in pairs and coming to visit your family at home at your front door! This will happen during the week of Aug. 3-7 and teacher’s will contact you to set up a time. Thanks for your support. Due to precautions, we will only be able to meet at the doorstep and not come in. We are excited to meet you all!
New Student Registration
If you have a neighbor, or someone that you know will be new to Paradise Canyon, the new student registration dates will be August 3-August 7 from 8:30-11:30/1:00-2:30.
Puma Power Reading
We have a school-wide reading incentive program. Students will read 20 minutes nightly or more and earn fun prizes so this is a great time to have your students read!
Puma Bucks-
Our students will be given Puma Bucks for following our High Five Rules. They can earn an unlimited amount of Puma Bucks and use them to purchase items at our school store which will be held at the end of every month.
Kindergarten Information

Queridos padres,
Espero que tengan un verano relajante y agradable. Quería tomarme un momento para hacerle saber algunas de las cosas que sucederán en la Escuela Primaria Paradise Canyon para el próximo año escolar.
Ha sido un verano ocupado para mí con la remodelación y la preparación de las cosas para el nuevo año escolar ya que el año pasado fue interrumpió. Todavía no estamos seguros de cómo se verá el 13 de agosto y esperamos que el gobernador nos ponga en verde para que no haya preocupaciones de las máscaras faciales. Por supuesto, tomaremos todas las precauciones necesarias para asegurarnos de que los alumnos se laven las manos y se mantengan a salvo.

Dear Parents,
I know everyone has been waiting for information on what this upcoming school year will look like. There will be things that look a little different but we are confident that once we get settled into the changes, school will be great! Here are a few things on what to expect:
Recess- We will have recess by grade levels. This recess time will be 15 minutes. We will sanitize hands before and after recess.
Assemblies -There will be no assemblies until we have the ok to do that.
Substitutes: Our substitutes will be trained on procedures for hygiene and safety. If you are interested in subbing, this is the time we need you. The district is predicting a shortage in subs due to teachers having to possibly quarantine. If you are interested, please call the district office at 435-673-3553.
We are anxious to have your students come back to school. We completely understand how nervous everyone is about getting us all together again. We want all to be safe, and we will do all we can to mitigate the spread of any kind of virus.
If you are still not sure that returning to school is right for your child, we will be offering a remote learning option that your children can do at home. This gives you the flexibility of still being enrolled in our school but staying home for the time being. This will also be a good option if your child gets sick or if they need to be quarantined for a couple weeks.
Thank you for being such a wonderful and supportive community. Together we will make this work!
Sincerely,
Principal
Susan Harrah
