clothing and/or food. It was unfortunate that we didn’t serve all but I’m thankful to the donors we have to help meet some of our needs. January has been a great reminder of the significance of displaying care for others through learning about empathy and the importance of not teasing one another. One item that I would like to remind students and parents is that school starts at 8:00 and it is very important that we are here each and every school day. I see so much learning happening all the time and it is so hard for all involved when someone is missing. I would like to share a quote from the No Empty Seats Today poster “Missing 10% or more of school “for any reason”… leads to school disruption, lower test scores, decrease in school funds, increase in Juvenile Court involvement, increase in drugs, alcohol and crime” Please send your student to school, we are learning together more and more each day. Thanks for all the wonderful support you parents provide to your students! Annual Assessment Approaches for the Salt Lake City School District Magnet Extended Learning Program The Extended Learning Program (ELP) of the Salt Lake City School District offers educational opportunities for students who show high academic abilities in grades kindergarten (K) through eighth. One component of ELP is a K through 6 th grade magnet program. Currently, we are accepting requests to assess students to determine eligibility for possible placement into next school year’s K-6 th ELP magnet and International Pathways (IP) (a Spanish bilingual magnet). Students qualifying for an ELP placement have shown that they need an academic program which allows them to move more quickly, work with more complex concepts, and delve more deeply into academic content. The elementary ELP magnets are housed at Hawthorne, Whittier, and Emerson Elementary. Students and their families must reside, and continue to reside, within the Salt Lake City School District to be assessed for or participate in the Extended Learning Program. If you are interested in requesting an ELP assessment for your child entering grades K-6 th please call 801-578-8573 as soon as possible. Testing must be requested prior to February 15 th , 2013. If you would like more information, go to the website http://www.slcschools.org/depts/exceptional/ elp/ or call.
