Utah public schools are known for their extensive range of opportunities. School choice is well established in Utah, and the discussion about options for students evolves each year. Locally elected school board members and superintendents work diligently to address the unique needs of students and families in their districts. We will be highlighting programs throughout the state that support the mission of providing options to students in the Utah school system. Here are a few examples:
Canyons School District recently purchased the former eBay headquarters in Draper. The 215,000 square foot building will enable the district to provide numerous career and technical options to Canyons’ students. Canyons continues to focus on the future.
The Ogden School District started the year with three new teen resource centers. The goal of the teen centers is to remove barriers for students and allow them to focus on academics.
This summer the Utah School for the Blind offered a series of cooking classes at Harmon’s. Students gained a variety of culinary skills including prepping, chopping, plating, and following recipes.
Fifth grade students at Harvest Elementary help kindergarteners at lunch during the first week of school. The fifth grade students are learning through serving.
Six drama teachers from the Cache County School District recently presented two performances of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The proceeds of both shows will go to support the theater programs in the Cache County School District.
Wasatch County School District fine arts educator, Tricia Bishop, has been chosen to participate in a national project designed to advance arts education practice in schools across the country. Ms. Bishop teaches theater and dance at both Rocky Mountain and Timpanogos Middle Schools.
Carbon School District has implemented the KEY Recognition Program. They are recognizing staff members who demonstrate a key to success – kindness, engaged, or a yes mindset. #leadersinchoice #ussa #educationmatters
