Turn off TV-Screen Free Week 4-22

Turn Off the TV & Screen Free Week is so that we can look the role that TV/screens play in our daily lives as an entertainer, pacifier, babysitter, time filler and background noise.

Television & screens are generally a passive "non-activity" which often detracts from more healthy, interpersonal, productive, rewarding and community-oriented activities.

Turn Off the TV & Screen Free Week is about having more fun outside of screens and turning "on" your life. It's an opportunity to rediscover the wide range of activities that exist when one unplugs from the sedentary, image-based, simplistic and commercial world of television, computers, and other electronic devices.

During this week we would like to encourage you to turn off your TV & screens.

If your student would like to participate, have them watch less TV & have less screen time this week.  Ideally, we would encourage them to turn off the TV & screens completely.  If they do turn off the TV & screens (or watch at least 50% less than normal for that child), have them bring the signed pledge back to school by Monday, May 2nd .

Thank You – Hayden Peak PTA, Family Life Commission

Also, National Walk to School day is Wednesday, October 6. All students walking to school that morning will receive a small prize. Remember to use safe walking routes and cross the street with the crossing guard. At Hayden Peak, safety is a priority. Please discuss the safety topics above with your children. Please follow all traffic rules around the school and always use crosswalks and sidewalks.

Just a friendly reminder that the drop-off lane in front of the school is intended for a quick exit from the passenger side of the vehicle. We have an aide helping to direct the flow of traffic. Please pull as far forward as possible before letting your child exit the car. If your child needs help getting out of the car or any other reason then please park in the parking lot and help your child safely get to the crossing guard. The parking lot is not meant to be an additional drop off zone. Thank you for your participation in helping keep our students safe!

Parents,

There will be no school for online or in-person students this Friday, November 6th.  This is a teacher work day in preparation for the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences.  If you have not yet scheduled a conference with your child's teacher, you can still do so in Skyward.  If you need help scheduling the conference appointment or need your log-in information please feel free to call the office at 801-280-0722.

Meals will still be provided on Friday, November 6, 2020 when traditional elementary schools are not in session.  Lunch and a take-home breakfast will be provided from 11am until 12pm.  Please call the following number by 9am on Friday to order a lunch to be picked up.  The number to call is 801-302-4831.  Students can come to the lunch room door to pick-up their meal.

Because this is a scheduled day off, crossing guards are not scheduled to work at their designated locations. That means crossing guards will not be there to safely cross students for meal service. Therefore, we recommend your students be accompanied by an adult for safety as they walk to and from school for meal service on Friday.
