We are scheduled to be doing school from home (online and/or packets) for the rest of the school year. During this time teachers and staff are using multiple methods of reaching students, including paper packets, canvas, class dojo and microsoft teams. Please contact your teacher to find out more.
Families can also call our Family Resource Hotline – 801-301-6476 if you need help with anything, such as computer access, meals or other information.
To reach the counselor: I have created a "team" on microsoft teams for each grade K-6, where students can "chat" with me either privately or as a group, or video conference with me. I will be creating videos for students of all grades and posting them on the Whittier PTA facebook page, this website and on microsoft teams. The best way to reach me is through email at [email protected] or by phone at (801) 448-6590.
