Welcome Back!
Dear Draper Students and Parents, July 28, 2016
On behalf of the teachers and staff at Draper Elementary School, I would like to welcome you back to school. As we anticipate a wonderful 2016-17 school year, we want to share with you some upcoming dates and happenings here at Draper.
Student Registration – Online registration opens August 4; our front office is open to assist you with registration beginning August 4, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. ALL Canyons School District families must complete the online registration every school year. Fall registration confirms to the school that you still plan to attend, and offers families the opportunity to update contact information, emergency contacts, etc. If you have questions about registration, please call our front office at 801-826-8275.
Back to School Night – Tuesday, August 23, 5:00-7:00 pm OPEN HOUSE
This is an evening for families to come and learn about what will be taking place this year in your child’s classroom, including grade level curriculum, general expectations, and events. It is also a brief opportunity for your child to meet his/her teacher and visit the classroom just prior to the first day of school. Our PTA will also be present to sign up members and volunteers. At 6:00-6:15 we will hold a schoolwide meeting in Gym (no classrooms will be open at this time; all staff and families will meet in the gym) to meet the faculty and vote on the PTA budget.
Dual Immersion Parent Meeting – Tuesday, August 23, 7:00-7:30 in the gym
