Amelia Earhart Elementary is preparing for a week of celebrations focused on student attendance from September 28 through October 2, according to a statement from Principal Dr. Patricia Blanton. The week will feature various activities, including a pajama day and a visit from the Governor of Utah on Friday, October 3.
The school is observing Attendance Week to encourage students to arrive on time and ready to learn. Scheduled activities include Bubble Blast on Monday, Chalk the Walk on Tuesday, Game Morning on Wednesday, and a secret Surprise Attendance Day on Thursday. Friday will feature a Pajama DJ Dance Party and Read with a Child Day. During the Friday event, parents are asked to arrive between 9:00 a.m. and 9:20 a.m. to check in before the Governor of Utah addresses students at 9:30 a.m.
To support student success, the school is holding various attendance incentives. Classes with the highest daily attendance percentages will earn the GOAT Trophy to display in their classrooms. Additionally, students earn entries into an attendance raffle for every day they are present, with five chances to win a prize for attending all five days. The school aims to recognize consistent attendance, hard work, and the RISE expectations.
Sign-ups for Student Education Plan (SEP) conferences are open through Thursday, October 1, at 11:59 p.m. These conferences are scheduled for Monday, October 5, through Thursday, October 8, with late conferences held on Wednesday and Thursday until 6:50 p.m. Students will be dismissed early at 1:00 p.m. during the conference period, and on Friday, October 9, students will be released at the regular early-release time of 1:30 p.m.
The PTA has scheduled a meeting for October 5 at 10:00 a.m. in the Amelia Earhart Conference Room. The PTA is also hosting a Fall Carnival on October 5 and is seeking volunteers for the event.
