Cold Weather Days
Make sure to dress your child for the weather of the day! Most days, we go outside to recess as the fresh air is so wonderful for the students to exercise a bit and get some energy out so they can focus better in class. The only days we stay inside are “orange” days for students diagnosed with asthma or other breathing conditions or “red” days where we all stay inside or if it is extremely cold. We check the air quality and temperatures every day. Please click here for our school’s inclement weather policy or view it on our school website.
Open Enrollment
The open enrollment window is now open and closes (by law) the 3rd Friday in February … this year it will be Friday, Feb 18. Students can apply for open enrollment after that deadline, but the success rate significantly diminishes. Open enrollment is the process a student goes through when he/she desires to go to a school where he/she does not reside in its boundaries. By way of information, new schools are typically closed to open enrollment students for two years for their enrollment numbers to stabilize. This includes Spring Canyon Middle and Maple Grove Middle Schools (exception noted below). To apply for open enrollment, go to the district website (nebo.edu) → Information → Open Enrollment. There is a $5 processing fee. The district will send you a reply mid-March. (Note for DLI students - If you are in dual-immersion, you will be permitted to attend Spring Canyon as that is where the DLI program will be held.)
Dual-Immersion Applications
Dual-immersion applications for the 2022-23 school year will be available beginning Monday, Jan 3 running thru Fri, Feb 4. Applications are accepted in the office on a first-come, first-served basis and we will close the window and move to a waiting list once we reach capacity for two classes regardless of when in the acceptance window that occurs. Applications are available here, at the front office or you can print off an application at our school website (sagecreek.nebo.edu → Chinese Immersion).
