🎮 Welcome Back, Antelope Allstars!
We are so excited to welcome everyone back for another amazing school year at Antelope Elementary! We hope you enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing summer filled with fun, family, and lasting memories. Our staff has been working hard all summer preparing for an incredible year, and we can't wait to welcome our Allstars back on Thursday, August 20!

🎲 2026-2027 Theme
Game On – Everyone Belongs, Everyone Plays!
This year's theme celebrates teamwork, inclusion, and making sure every student feels like they belong. To help us kick off the year in style, we invite everyone to wear their favorite game-themed shirt on the first day of school!
📚 Class Placements
Our teachers and staff spend many hours thoughtfully creating balanced class lists that support the academic and social success of every student.
Class schedules and teacher assignments will be available on Friday, August 14 at 4:00 p.m. through your myDSD Guardian Portal.
Because so much care goes into creating each classroom community, teacher placements will not be changed once they are released. We encourage you to give your child's teacher an opportunity to build a relationship with your student—we are confident your child will have a wonderful year!
If you have not yet created your myDSD Guardian Account, please scan the QR code below. Your myDSD account allows you to:

🍎 Important New Food Permission (HB 402)
Due to Utah's new HB 402 legislation, families must complete a permission form if they would like their child to receive:
- Classroom celebration treats
- Birthday treats
- Food incentives
- Snacks brought from outside the school
- Other foods that do not meet HB 402 requirements
The permission form is available through myDSD and only needs to be completed once for the school year.
If permission is not provided, the school cannot distribute foods containing ingredients prohibited under HB 402 during the school day.
Parents may still pack these items in their child's lunch.
We have also included a list of HB 402-approved snack ideas in the attached PDF.
🪪 School Safety
The safety of our students remains our highest priority.
Every visitor entering the school must present a valid photo ID.
Even if our staff knows you personally, everyone must check in through the office. We appreciate your understanding and support as we follow district safety procedures.
⭐ First Day Arrival
We have a fun welcome planned beginning at 8:30 a.m.
To help make the morning run smoothly:
- Students will enter the building after the welcome celebration.
- Parents will say goodbye outside the building.
- Staff members and Student Council leaders will be throughout the school helping students find their classrooms and making sure everyone feels comfortable and welcomed.
We know the first day can be exciting, and our team is ready to help every child have a successful start!
🍽️ Free & Reduced Lunch Application
