Principal's Message

Welcome to a new school year at Willow Elementary School! We have a tradition of excellence and love that you’re a part of that movement going forward.

At Willow Elementary, we have a strong daily desire to help and encourage every student to develop a love for learning. Our teachers and team members are dedicated to helping your child achieve that passion and many more great attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives. We understand that academic success is a team effort and as we strive to work together daily, our students, parents, teachers, and staff will arrive at our desired outcome as we take challenges head on along the way. Academics are at the forefront of what we do at Willow Elementary. We have many goals in place for the school year and will work to achieve those goals with a consistent positive and encouraging culture.

At Willow Elementary, we know that every student can experience success and gain continued confidence in themselves as we work together on their academic journey, while supporting them in their social and emotional development as well. Our district approved Instructional Framework and Strategic Model will serve as a roadmap for our daily efforts and planning. The mission of Willow Elementary is to work together with families and community members to provide an engaging and safe learning environment that fosters academic, emotional, and social growth for all students.

This will come to fruition as each of us take part in the mission supporting one another in the process with a strong school and community relationship. Please review our school website for further information about Willow and the school year. You may call our office anytime with questions as well and we’re always happy to help. As we plan and start the year off strong, I know we will carry that momentum with us moving forward. It’s going to be a great year at Willow Elementary! We thank you in advance for your support and involvement.

Our Wolf Pack is the best!!

-Kimberly Brady, Principal Willow Elementary

Excusing an Absence on Skyward

To excuse a student on the app:

When parents sign up for the Skyward app, they will select a four-digit code.
Put in your four-digit code and continue to the app
Select the “hamburger button” (the triple bar or trigram symbol) on the top right.
From here you have two options, the first option (the message tab), will show you through the notification when your student was marked absent and what you need to excuse. With the attendance tab you simply submit a request.

1. Message Tab
Attendance Notification
View
Add Absent Request
OR
2. Attendance
Add Absent Request

Either of these two options will open a pop-up.
Complete the following information:
Student
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional – but very helpful, especially if you want to “excuse 2^nd hour”)
If you have more than one student and want this attendance request submitted for another student (maybe your family will be attending a funeral and all students need to be excused) then you can “Copy” the request and select additional students.
Submit

To submit a request from the website:

Tooeleschools.org
Click on the Families tab across the top
Click on Skyward for Parents
Log in
On the top right click student (if you only have one student you will just see your student’s name)
In the drop-down menu select the student’s name you need to excuse
Select Attendance in the menu on the left hand side
Click on the hyperlink at the top of the page “Absence Request.”
An “Add Request” pop-up block will open
Complete the following blocks:
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional, but once again, very helpful)
Save
Once you have “Saved” you will receive an email notification that an absence request has been submitted.
After the request has been processed, parents will receive a notification in Skyward
“(Student’s name) Absence Request has been (approved or denied)
The Absence Request submitted for (student) on (date) has been (approved or denied).
If a request is denied, a reason must be provided. It will then say “Go to your Absence Requests for further information.”

Cell Phones, Smartwatches, and Personal Devices

Cell Phones, Smartwatches, and Personal Devices

Tooele County School District recognizes that technology can enhance teaching and learning, along with the sense of security that cell phones and smart watches provide, and we are dedicated to ensuring their safe and civil use.

In an effort to create an optimal learning environment at Tooele County School District high schools, we will limit the use of cell phones, smartwatches, and other personal electronic devices during school hours. These devices, while beneficial in many contexts, can be significant sources of distraction and disruption in the classroom. By minimizing their use, we aim to foster a focused and engaged learning atmosphere where students can fully participate in instructional activities. Additionally, restricting these devices helps prevent negative behaviors such as cyberbullying, cheating, and other inappropriate or illegal activities. Our primary goal is to enhance student focus and engagement, ensuring that every student can thrive academically and socially in a supportive and undistracted environment.

Personal electronic devices, including cell phones, smart watches, headphones, tablets, etc., may be brought to school with parents’ permission but must be turned off and stored out of sight during school hours. Cell phones or smart watches are not to be used by students in bathrooms, locker rooms, and ALL learning spaces. Cell phones will be allowed for students with a specific need per their healthcare plan, IEP, 504, or ILDP. The office phone is available for students when necessary and with permission during the school day. TCSD cannot assume any responsibility for cell phones or smart watches.

Procedures -

If students do not comply with the personal electronic device rules, consequences may include the following:

· 1st infraction: Verbal warning

· 2nd infraction: Cell phone/watch held at the office and the student can pick it up at the end of the day.

· 3rd infraction: Cell phone/watch held at the office until a parent picks it up

Each infraction will be reported in Educator’s Handbook.

Additional consequences will be implemented if students continue to not comply with cell phone/smartwatch rules. Students may be required to turn in their device to the office at the start of each day.

Supply List

Suggested Elementary Classroom Supplies and Donations
At the beginning of each year, many parents request a teacher supply list so they can furnish some items as a donation to the classroom setting. Utah law states that supplies will be provided by the school, however, in the 2012 Legislative Session it was approved for elementary schools to compile and provide a suggested list of supplies that may be brought/donated/furnished by parents on a voluntary basis that will be used in the classroom.
Any list must include the following language: “Notice: The items on this list will be used during the regular school day. They may be brought from home on a voluntary basis. Otherwise, they will be furnished by the school.”
Tooele County School District appreciates all the supplies that parents choose to donate to help our students. If you are interested in donating supplies, we have created a suggested list by grade level.
Many classroom teachers appreciate general donations of closeable plastic storage bags of various sizes for classroom use.
