Hayden Peak Day of Caring! Save the Date!

We are so fortunate to have the best community and support! Over the last couple of years, we have had the opportunity to participate in Comcast Cares Day and your support has been overwhelming. This year, we will be hosting the Hayden Peak Day of Caring! Ivory Homes has generously donated trees for us to plant. In addition, we will do some weeding and clean up in and around the school. Please mark your calendar for Saturday, May 18, 2019 and plan to volunteer! We look forward to another wonderful day of volunteering, music, and fun!

Valentine's Day is Thursday, February 14, 2019. While it is often thought of as a holiday for couples, it is also a wonderful day to let those you care about know how you feel! Here are a few Valentine Family Date ideas:

Go bowling
Take a city tour
Do a rose drop for widows
A dollar store blitz
Dinner and a movie
Go to the zoo
Take cookies to neighbors
Kids' choice!

SPOTLIGHT! Girls Who Code Club

Hayden Peak Elementary offers many opportunities for our students to expand and share their talents in after school programs. Over the next few months, we will spotlight each of the programs and how your child can participate. This month we are spotlighting the GIRLS WHO CODE CLUB!

This is a brand new after school program for 4th, 5th grade girls. What is coding? It means to construct a set of instructions to implement an algorithm in order to solve a problem. Those instructions then allow a program to run, whether it is on a computer, tablet, or phone.

The club goes from Tuesday, January 15-March 19, 2019. Girls in the 4th and 5th grade will have fun learning this valuable skill.

Dear Parents,

It is important that we obtain an accurate list of all children qualifying for kindergarten in the Jordan School District for the 2019-2020 school year.  If you have a child that will be five years of age on or before September 1, 2019, the child qualifies for next year’s kindergarten program.  State law requires that all school districts in Utah abide by the same September 1st entrance cut-off date.   You will be required, before school starts, to bring the child’s immunization record and an original certified birth certificate (not a photocopy) to the school.

Enrollment will begin online on Monday, January 7, 2019.

  • Please log on to planning.jordandistrict.org/enrollment and scroll down to “New Student Enrollment”.
  • Choose either “Temporary Account for New Student Enrollment” if you are new to the district, or “New Student Enrollment” if you already have a Skyward account.
  • Fill out the enrollment information. Please enter the child’s full name as it appears on the birth certificate.
  • After “Step #4”, be sure to submit the application.

In order to get a preliminary count for the new school year we ask that you please complete the information online by Friday, January 18, 2019.

An informational kindergarten orientation meeting for parents and prospective kindergarten students will be held on Friday, March 22, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. in our gym.  At this meeting you will receive, among other things, health forms and an immunization form for your doctor to complete.

If you know of a neighbor that has a qualifying kindergarten child, please share this information with them and encourage them to log on and register their kindergarten child.

Sincerely,

David Butler

Principal
