It is hard to believe, but in four more wake ups we will begin the new school year! We are super excited for the changes we have in place and even more excited to have our halls filled with kids again.


As always, thank you for entrusting Bridge with your children's education.


See you Wednesday!

FREE / REDUCED Meals Application

FREE / REDUCED Meals Application

Although meals are currently free, it is imperative that parents apply for FREE / REDUCED status. This is done through ASPIRE - simply login and complete the application using the link on the right side of the window.


FREE / REDUCED status provides the school with extra funding to help support our Title I at-risk program which includes morning supervision and BASE as well as intervention support for struggling students. This past year it also provided additional assistance for some students in the form of an electronic debit card. It also ensures that if we are no longer able to offer free meals, parents are already qualified for free/reduced status.


Instructions for accessing ASPIRE can be found on our website or by calling the office (801)499-5180.

Our mission is to empower students to take ownership of their own learning.
