ALA SCREAMING EAGLES

Hi Elementary Families,

Happy Friday, my friends! Between conferences, our student art show, and the Bake & Book Sale, there’s a lot bringing our school community together today. Thank you to our teachers, families, and everyone lending a hand to make it happen!

Thank You for Coming to Conferences

Thank you for making time to meet with your child’s teacher. We appreciate hearing what’s going well, what’s been a little tricky, and what you’re seeing at home. Those conversations help us understand your kiddo better and work together on their next steps.

Our partnership continues after conferences, so please keep reaching out with questions, concerns, and celebrations. We’re glad to be on your child’s team!

A special thank-you to our Parent Council for providing lunch for our teachers today. We appreciate you taking such good care of our staff! Thank you for the teachers that have put in a lot of time and effort to make sure they have everything ready for you so that you know how your child is doing. We truly have amazing educators here.

Being Here Makes a Difference

There’s a lot that happens in a school day beyond assignments—a tricky lesson finally clicks, a friendship grows, or a kiddo gains the confidence to try something new. Being here consistently helps our students build on those moments and feel connected to their class.

Please help your kiddo arrive on time and stay through dismissal whenever possible. Setting out clothes and packing backpacks the night before can make mornings a little easier. If your child is absent, please notify the front office. And if something is making attendance difficult, reach out. We’re on your team, and we want to help!

Cooler Mornings & Recess

Fall has definitely arrived! Please send your kiddos with warm coats, hats, and gloves as needed. We head outside for recess unless the temperature or wind chill drops below 20°F, or it’s raining hard, so having those layers makes a difference.

Please label coats, jackets, hats, and gloves with your child’s full name. This way we can get it back to your child quickly and this will help our lost and found not become so full.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for supporting the teachers who work with them each day.

Have a great weekend, my friends!

Mr. Anderson
Elementary Principal

Dear ALA Families,

We are writing to share an important update regarding our school health policies and the administration

of medication to students during the school day.

To ensure full compliance with Utah Code Section 53G-9-502 and state student health regulations,

American Leadership Academy does not maintain a stock or communal supply of over-the-counter

(OTC) medications (including Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, Aspirin, or generic pain relievers).

What This Means for Your Student

1. No Desk or Office Stock: School secretaries, teachers, and administrative staff cannot store

unassigned OTC medications at their desks or hand out generic pain relievers to students upon

request.

2. Requirements for OTC Medication at School: If your child requires over-the-counter pain

medication during the school day, the following state-mandated steps must be completed

before any medication can be administered:

o Healthcare Provider Order: A signed, written statement from a licensed healthcare

provider (physician, dentist, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) stating that the

medication is medically necessary during school hours.

o Parent Authorization: A signed written consent form from the parent or legal guardian.

o Original Packaging: The medication must be provided directly by the parent/guardian in

its original, unopened manufacturer container labeled with the student's name.

o Secure Storage: All authorized medications must be stored in a locked cabinet in the

school health room and administered under the supervision of delegated, trained

personnel.

Exceptions for Emergency Medications

Students with documented life-threatening conditions (such as asthma, severe allergies, or diabetes)

may carry and self-administer emergency medications (e.g., epinephrine auto-injectors or inhalers) once

the appropriate self-administration authorization forms are signed by both a parent and healthcare

provider and filed with the main office.

We appreciate your cooperation and support in keeping our students safe and ensuring our school

operates in full accordance with Utah law. If you need to fill out a Medication Authorization Form, you

can find it at https://charterone.app.box.com/s/gs1b529thjhhu2mi4zupuungy0uexnk1

Sincerely,

Administration & Health Services

American Leadership Academy
