Principals and Administrative Assistants:
Final 2015-2016 immunization reporting is right around the corner. As we look forward to the 2016-2017 school year, we would like to remind you that all schools are supposed to be in compliance with the Utah state immunization guidelines before school starts.
Many schools have allotted extra secretary hours in August, through pool hours, to allow more time to achieve compliance. Remember, compliance leads to service. Discuss with your peers how they are achieving immunization compliance, or call the Nursing Services Department (Educational Support) for help.
We appreciate all of your hard work in ensuring immunization compliance for the 2016-2017 school year. Please don’t hesitate to call your school nurse for any questions or concerns.
Secondary Principals:
Please encourage your AP teachers to take advantage of this professional development opportunity. You may use AP funds that come to your school to pay for teachers to attend. See attached flyer for more information. Direct any questions to Nancy Karpowitz, 801-567-8309.

Reminder: Retirement Bells No Longer Purchased By the Board
The Board of Education made the decision at the end of last year to continue to purchase clocks for retirees that are presented at the annual retirement dinner in May; however, the Board will no longer be purchasing an additional gift, which has traditionally been a retirement bell. Schools and departments are welcome to purchase bells on their own for their retirees.
The following information may be helpful to schools and departments that may wish to purchase bells for their retirees.

See attached memo and tax form.
During the winter months, the bad weather and common illnesses that keep kids from getting to school can boost absenteeism. That is why during the winter months it is even more important to remind parents about the value of school attendance. Just missing two days each month, even if they are excused, can make it hard for children, starting in the early grades, to keep up with the learning in the classroom.
