Our annual Fall Carnival will be September 18th from 2-7pm. Parents who volunteer for at least two hours will get a hefty discount on wristbands for their own kids. We will need helpers during the school day to set up, helpers to clean up at the end, and some volunteers throughout the carnival. Carnival will have all the regular goodies we have come to love: inflatables, mechanical bull, dunk tank, food, DJ, games, silent auction, and maybe a couple surprises! More info to come.
Nuestro Carnaval de Otoño anual se celebrará el 18 de septiembre, de 2:00 p. m. a 7:00 p. m. Los padres que se ofrezcan como voluntarios durante al menos dos horas obtendrán un descuento considerable en las pulseras de acceso para sus propios hijos. Necesitaremos ayuda durante la jornada escolar para el montaje, personal para la limpieza al finalizar y voluntarios durante el transcurso del evento. El carnaval contará con todas las atracciones habituales que tanto nos gustan: inflables, toro mecánico, tanque de agua (dunk tank), comida, DJ, juegos, subasta silenciosa ¡y quizás alguna que otra sorpresa! Próximamente daremos más información.
Hearing Screening Notice
Providence Hall conducts yearly hearing screenings as recommended by the Utah Department of Health. All students in grades K-3, 7 and 11th grades will be screened, as well as all students in every grade who are receiving special education services. Hearing screenings will commence in August. Please contact Mrs. Collingridge at jcollingridge@providencehall.com with any questions or specific requests.
Providence Hall realiza pruebas anuales de audición, tal como lo recomienda el Departamento de Salud de Utah. Se evaluará a todos los alumnos de los grados K-3, 7 y 11, así como a los estudiantes de cualquier grado que reciban servicios de educación especial. Las pruebas de audición comenzarán en agosto. Por favor, comuníquese con la Sra. Collingridge a jcollingridge@providencehall.com si tiene alguna pregunta o solicitud específica.
DRESS CODE for 2026-27
Our board of trustees has updated the Elementary dress code only very slightly. Changes for this year include:
- "All sweaters and sweatshirts/hoodies must fall within the color and logo designation of the dress code".
- "Hair, hairstyles, and fashion accessories must not be ostentatious, costume-like, or distracting to the learning environment. Examples include, but are not limited to, animal ears, tails, tiaras, costume wings, and similar novelty accessories. Exceptions may be approved for designated school spirit days, holidays, or special events".
They ways in which dress code is enforced will be slightly different this year:
"Elementary School Consequences for Violating the Dress Code
1st-3rd Violation – Parent communication by the school with requirement to change into dress code appropriate attire.
Parents may either bring clothing for their student, accept clean, used loaner clothing (which must be returned to avoid a fee), or purchase new clothing from the school store.
4th and Subsequent Violations – Parent communication by the school with requirement to change into dress code appropriate attire AND Parent conference with administration and violation documented in PHCS Skyward".
Non examples of dress code attire would be polka dots, strips, plaid, big logos, light blue, pink, etc.
Thank you to Mrs. Naessens for putting this together!
DashPass
No, not the one that Door Dash offers -this is an app that allows you to pick up your student safely and quickly from school. Parents, if you are new to Providence Hall Elementary standby, you will be receiving more information about DashPass along with an invitation to join in August. In the meantime you can get an idea of how it works by watching this video:
No, no la que ofrece Door Dash: esta es una aplicación que le permite recoger a su estudiante de la escuela de manera segura y rápida. Padres, si son nuevos en el modo de espera de Providence Hall Elementary, recibirán más información sobre DashPass junto con una invitación para unirse. Mientras tanto puedes hacerte una idea de cómo funciona viendo este vídeo:
