We are looking forward to a great conclusion of the 2009-2010 school year.  If there are questions, concerns or comments you would like to make, please don’t hesitate to call the school at 801.476.5360.  We appreciate all the support from parents and the community.

The annual Snowcrest Talent Show will be February 11 at 10:00 AM.  Students have completed auditions and the list for those participating in the show has been announced and posted.  We are looking forward to a great talent show.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are also quickly approaching.  They will be held on February 17th with a morning session from 7:30-9:30 AM and an afternoon session from 4:00-7:00 PM.  The first hour of both sessions is reserved for appointments only.  Please contact the school at 801-476-5360 to make an appointment during the first hour of either the morning or afternoon session.  The remaining time is open for all parents and students to simply come and visit with teachers.  We are looking forward to a successful Parent/Teacher Conference next month.

This year, the District was hopeful to put the process of Federal Survey Cards completely on-line.  This would have made one less form that was sent home to be signed and returned to the school.   However, because of a couple of complications, the Federal Survey Card was not able to go completely electronic.  As a result, we will again be sending home these postcard size forms to be filled out, signed by a parent, and returned to the school.  These will be sent home January 6th and will need to be returned to the school as soon as possible.

While completing and returning this card might be a little bit of a hassle, these cards represent a tremendous amount of money to the school and District.  That being the case, it is important to have all of our students return these cards signed by a parent.  We appreciate your help with this as well as the support given to the school in all we do.  If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to conatct the school.

As is the case with everyone, the Holiday Season is a very busy time at Snowcrest.  Some of the upcoming events at the school are:

• Dec 10 - Boys Basketball Tryouts (after school)

• Dec 22 - School dismissed at 11:45 AM for Holiday Break
• Dec 23 - Jan 4 - Winter Holiday Break-No School!

Hopefully, this Holiday Season will be calm, peaceful, and as stress-free as possible.  We hope to see many of you at our Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences and our Holiday Music Concert. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

With Halloween soon approaching, there are plenty of activities happening at Snowcrest.  This year, students will be allowed to wear costumes to school on October 29th.  At the end of the school day, we will have a Halloween Stomp and costume contest. 

Students who choose to wear costumes to school should still follow the school dress code standards.  Additionally, no weapons or look-alike weapons, no cross-gender dressing, excessive make-up, or otherwise offensive costumes.

In addition to the Stomp on October 29th from 2:45-4:45 PM, the PTO is also sponsoring a Halloween Carnival on October 30th from 6:00-8:30 PM at the school.  There will be games, booths, food, spook alley, a raffle and prizes.  We invite everyone in the community to come and have a fun evening at the annual Halloween Carnival.

We are near the end of First Term!  The last week of the term is always a very busy and hectic time.  Please work with your student(s) and their teachers to ensure everything is completed and turned in for grading by the deadlines each teacher establishes.  The last day of the term is October 30, with Monday November 2 being a teacher work day.  Student report cards will be mailed out mid-week and should arrive sometime over the weekend of November 7th.

Parents,

New this year is the addition of a school email list.  The purpose of the email list to to improve communication with parents and provide another route for information to be sent home.  Periodically, emails will be sent to parents who have signed up to be on the list.   These emails will contain important information such as dates for school events, announcements, and accolades for deserving students and teachers.  If you are interested in being added to the email list, please send an email to:   SCJH@weber.k12.ut.us               Please put “Subscribe” in the subject line.

We are hopeful that parents will take advantage of this email and that it may be an effective tool for communication.  If you have any other suggestions that you feel could help to improve the school, please sent them to the email address listed above with the word “Suggestion” in the subject line.

We are now more than half way through our first term!  We have had an exciting start to the school year with some great assemblies by our Student Body and Class Officers.  The Ski Academy students are enjoying being a part of Snowcrest and we are thrilled they are a part of our school.
