East Sandy Happenings – 8/30/24

Dear East Sandy families-
I hope everyone enjoys the long Labor Day weekend break.  Reminder that there is no school on Monday.  On Tuesday we will be kicking off our Blue Ribbon week full of activities and an assembly from our wonderful PTA.  

Dive into History at East Sandy 📜

September is American Founders Month, and we’re diving into the heart of our nation’s history!  At East Sandy,  students are getting hands-on with the United States Constitution, exploring key principles like federalism and separation of powers. Whether it’s through debates, reading sessions, or creative projects, our students are discovering how these ideas still impact our lives today. How is your family engaging with these historical documents?


Finally, we are having many students come to school with “smart watches”. We ask students to treat them the same as other smart devices.  Our procedure at East Sandy is to keep them put away during instructional time.  If you need to contact your child throughout the day, please call the main office at: 801-826-8425 and we will make sure to get the message to your child. 

As always, I’m available to meet and discuss any concerns you may have.

Always Keep the Spirit of a Mustang!
