Principal's Message
Dear Aviator Families,
Thank you to all of our families who took the time to attend SEP Conferences this week! We know your schedules are busy, and we truly appreciate your commitment to your child's education.
SEPs are more than just an opportunity to discuss academic progress. They are a chance to celebrate successes, set meaningful goals, and strengthen the partnership between home and school. We hope you left your conference feeling proud of your child's accomplishments and excited about the growth ahead.
Upcoming Events & Reminders
Tuesday, October 13 — Mobile Food Pantry
Our Mobile Food Pantry will be visiting Amelia Earhart! Please make sure your child brings a backpack to help carry food items home. Depending on the amount of food your child receives, you may want to plan to pick them up after school to help transport their items.
Thursday, October 15 — ProvoREADS Parent University Event #1
We encourage all families to participate in our first ProvoREADS Parent University event at Shoreline Middle School! This is a wonderful opportunity to learn ways to support your child's reading development at home. Please see the details and registration information below.
Thank you for trusting us with your children each day. We look forward to another great week of learning and growing together!
Together, we RISE!
Dr. Patricia Blanton
