Ascent's COVID Information
For the 2021-2022, Ascent does not have any current plan to offer online classes. We recognize that in-person classes may give some reason for concern or hesitation in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ascent Academy is committed to student safety and positive educational experiences for students and we will be implementing the following measures:
1). Face masks are welcome on campus, but not required
2). Hand sanitizer will be available in each room of the school building
3). Over this summer, our HVAC systems were inspected and updated accordingly for ventilation
4). High-frequency touch areas will be disinfected daily
5). Social distancing will be observed whenever possible
6). Parents are asked to keep their children home if they are sick or experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms
7). Contact tracing will still occur, with families informed if their child was exposed to COVID-19 ("exposed" will be defined by the local health department)
8). Quarantining will still occur as directed by the local health department
9). Students who miss school due to illness, symptoms, or quarantining will have access to classwork, lessons, and assignments via Canvas
We also encourage any Ascent students aged 12 and up (and any members of their household aged 12 and up) to receive both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine shots.
We thank you for your continued support. Here's to a great 2021-2022 school year!
Ascent West Jordan Sports
GIRLS VOLLEYBALL & BOYS SOCCER season are going to start early this year, so West Jordan (WJ) is going to hold tryouts during the first week of school.
GIRLS VOLLEYBALL tryouts will be in the gym from 3:15-5:00 on Tuesday the 17th and Thursday the 19th.
BOYS SOCCER tryouts will be on the field from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm on Tuesday the 17th and Wednesday the 18th.
More detailed information will be available after tryouts. If you have any questions, please contact Coach Mitchell, the Athletic Director, tmitchell@ascentutah.org.
CARPOOL for Parents
Please stagger your arrivals, 3:05, 3:15, and 3:30. I promise we were able to get carpool done by 3:25 last year, with parents spreading out arrival times.
IF you want your child to walk or take daycare, please fill out the google form so we have the documentation, by 1:00pm tomorrow, 8/17 to get them a pass. Passes are organized and delivered in the afternoon. https://forms.gle/rHH9Cc5Uo7Kj51Yo6
DO NOT park/leave your car along the North side of Cilma Dr. It blocks the carpool line, and stops the flow of traffic.
DO NOT create a middle lane on Cilma Dr.
IF your child is a walker, and you are parking please park on the south side of Cilma Dr facing East.
When you pull into the parking lot, please fill up the 4 stacking lanes, we will take turns inputting your carpool number by going back and forth throughout the lanes.
We use an App to enter your carpool number, which then signals to the classroom to send your students down. Please help us with the flow by having your carpool number ready in your window or hanging from your mirror. If you could also write over your number using a thick marker, that helps us see the number from further away.
Please DO NOT tell your children to pick up siblings from their classroom, they will each be signaled to come to the same cone, and will meet you together outside.
Dismissal
At Ascent Academy West Valley, we have THREE ways students are dismissed.
1. Day Care: If your student needs to get on a Day Care bus, PLEASE complete this form. This will allow your student to receive a Day Care pass and will be dismissed a minute early to get on their day care bus.
2. Walking: If your student plans on walking home, PLEASE complete this form. This will allow your student to receive a Walking pass and will be dismissed a minute early to start heading home. IF you plan on picking up your student even though they are a WALKER, PLEASE make sure you are parked on the SOUTH side of Cilma Drive. NO students will be allowed to cross the street to the North side to get into their vehicles.
There is a parking area on the west side of the school right before the bridge if you would like to park and have your "Walking" student to meet you there.
3. Car Pool: All Families are assigned a number. You will be given a rearview mirror hanger with that number on it. Students will wait in their classroom until their carpool number is projected on the classroom screen. Student(s) will then leave the classroom and meet their vehicle outside at one of our 6 colored cones.
IF your student is NOT marked as a Day Care or Walking student, you MUST go through the carpool lane to pick up your student.
FORM MUST BE COMPLETED FOR EACH STUDENT!!
