Principal’s Message

Good Afternoon OES Families, 

Tomorrow is the day to return your home reading books for a prize.  

We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day this Friday.  Remember, that students are bringing their Valentines home in a bag provided by the school.

Our Box Tops Drive continues through the end of the week. 

This month is our Read-A-Thon.  Our goal as a school is to read 300,000 minutes.  We are off to a slow start, but I am confident that we will gain some ground.  This week the students are seeing if they can out-read Mrs. Park.  Those students who read more minutes than Mrs. Park will be put in a drawing for a fantastic prize next Tuesday.  

Please remember to read, read, and read some more.

Next Monday, Feb. 15, 2021 is Presidents Day and there is no school.  

February 22, 2021 is our Family Skate Night.  

If you have any questions, please let me know.  

Have a great rest of the week!

Happy Beginning of February OES Families,

Entire Month of February- READ-A-THON (please see attached flyer).

Feb. 3-4 – Parent Teacher Conferences 

Feb. 5 – Regular School Day

Feb. 11 – Return Home Reading Books for prize on the 12th

Feb. 8-12 Box Tops Drive

Feb. 8-9 Valentine Giveaways due to teachers, so they can be quarantined.  As a school this year, we are having students decorate sacks in their classrooms.  If they choose to bring Valentines, we are asking students to bring them on Feb. 8-9 so they can be quarantined in the classroom.  Students will pass out Valentines on Friday the 12th.  Teachers will staple the sack shut and parents will have the choice of when to open them.  (Just in case you would like to quarantine the Valentines at home). 

Feb. 15 – President’s Day – No School

Feb. 22 – Family Skate Night

Here is some information from the Utah Parent Center:

Good Afternoon OES Families, 

Tomorrow, Thursday is the 100th day of school. 

This Friday is our school Spelling Bee.  Good luck to all of our students who are participating.

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on February 3rd and 4th.  We will be holding online conferences on Wednesday, and in person on Thursday.  Your child’s teacher will be sending home more information.

Some teachers will offer both options, however some teachers would prefer to offer either all online or all in-person.  Please work with your child’s teacher to make an appointment that will work for both parties.  

Our goal is to meet with every child’s teacher, no matter what the format is.  Communication and partnership between home and school is essential to make sure your child’s education is successful.

Alpine School District will no longer have “Snow Days”.  On days when the weather is in question, we will have a distance learning day.  Teachers will provide online work for students to complete that day.  Distance learning will either be district wide, or by area cluster.  We will get your family the information as soon as it becomes available if we end up having a distance learning day.
