Bountiful Elementary has introduced a new theme for the upcoming school year titled Start Strong, according to a message from Principal Pickett. The initiative focuses on building a foundation for student success through positive routines, goal setting, and personal responsibility.
In the message, Principal Pickett stated that the new school year offers opportunities to build friendships and establish habits that lead to success. The school aims to create an environment where students feel safe, valued, challenged, and loved.
Families are encouraged to support this theme by establishing consistent morning and bedtime routines and celebrating small successes. The principal emphasized that helping students start the year with confidence and purpose is a collaborative effort.
As part of the Make it Matter initiative, the school is implementing monthly anonymous check-ins to give families a voice. These surveys are intended to help the school understand what is working and identify areas for improvement.
For the current month, the school is asking families to share one thing Bountiful Elementary could do to help their child or family start the school year strong. The school will review responses for common themes to better understand the needs of the community.
The school requested that feedback remain focused on the monthly question and avoid including identifying details such as names of students, staff, or families. Because the feedback is anonymous, the school cannot follow up on individual responses through the form. For concerns requiring specific details or direct conversation, the school advised contacting Principal Pickett or the school office.
