The annual tradition returns Wednesday, December 3rd. Drive through with your family as AFHS lights up with thousands of lights and donate what you can.

Welcome to Shelley Elementary’s Food Scavenger Hunt! We will be gathering items from November 10-18th. The goal for your student’s class is to collect as much non-perishable food as possible in the time allowed. Please do not feel pressured to donate. If you do have any donations, please gather them and tally the points from each section and return the items and the points paper to their teacher and they will take it from there. The class that ends up with the most points at the end of the donation period will receive an ICE CREAM PARTY!

The ASD Indian Parent Committee cordially invites you to join us for a special event in celebration of Native American Heritage Month. This event is a wonderful opportunity to engage with and learn more about the rich cultural traditions of our Native American community.

Earlier this afternoon, there was an accident on I-15 in the Lindon area. Northbound I-15 is currently closed and freeway and arterial roads are all experiencing significant delays. This road closure will impact busing throughout the district. We anticipate delays at multiple schools, including activity buses. All routes will be completed, but it is unknown how long this will take.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: As the new school year begins, please be aware that there will be a lot of additional traffic around our school properties, especially during drop-off and pick-up times. This will be particularly noticeable during the first few weeks of school as we welcome students and as families settle into routines. Please be extremely patient, and remember to put the safety of all students first.
