East Sandy Happenings – 10/18/23

Dear East Sandy families-
We had a short but great week.  The entire school focused on digital citizenship and how to be safe using technology.  A special thanks to Ms. Zern for putting together lessons, announcements, and activities for the school. We also had special visitors from the Sandy Fire Department and Harmons.

This is the place to be “Always keep the spirit of a mustang!”

We are promoting acceptance and diversity this month. Teachers start the day with connecting students together and accepting one another.  Oct 27th student can wear super hero costumes to celebrate.

East Sandy Library has been seeing students for 6 weeks now and would like to make sure that parents are aware of some of the expectations they have been learning.

Students visit the library every week as part of their Brain Booster rotation. We read a story aloud to them and they are encouraged to borrow books for reading practice, information, and enjoyment. Kindergarteners and 1st graders are asked to keep their books at school while the other grades are able to take their books home to read if they choose. Students can borrow two books at a time and are responsible to handle library books with care, since they are for everyone to share. Any book damage should be reported to the library as soon as possible so we can attempt repairs. Library books may be kept for one week then must be returned. A book may be renewed if the student is not finished reading it. An overdue (late) book means a student cannot borrow another book until the overdue book is returned. If a book is lost, payment towards replacement will be requested from the parents.

If you would like more information about our library, you can visit our website at https://eastsandy.canyonsdistrict.org/library/
