Clayton families, 

I hope that everyone is staying safe this summer.  Last week, our SLCSD Board approved remote learning to start off our 2020-2021 school year.  Students will start school on September 8th.  Teachers have been working through the summer and will continue to prepare for the upcoming school year. Custodial and facilities staff have also been working through the summer to make our building is as safe as possible.  We continue to meet daily to prepare for the best online learning experience for your child.  More detailed schedules of what a day, week, and month will look like, and plans for an orientation are still being fine tuned.

Between August 25th and September 4th, teachers and school staff will be in communication with you to schedule individual and small group meetings to build relationships, complete beginning of year tests, check-out technology, and provide additional information.  Providing this time to meet and communicate with our students and families will build a needed foundation prior to starting academics.

SLCSD’s full reopening plan may be read by viewing this link:  https://www.slcschools.org/news/2020-21/board-of-education-approves-school-restart-plan/2020-21-restart-plan/.  Our commitment is to keep members of our school community healthy and safe while providing quality education for our students.  That is our number one priority.  We care deeply about our community and want to see our students as soon as possible.  We feel that a slow, cautious start to this school year will help that happen sooner as new daily COVID-19 cases decline. 

I look forward to the 2020-2021 school year and am proud to be a Clayton Cougar!  I am eager to meet students and families over the next few months.

Respectfully,

Dallin Miller
