Wellington Elementary

Dear Parents and Guardians, Approximately an hour ago we had a report of a potential dangerous person at Carbon High School and the school was immediately put on lock down. Administration and local law enforcement responded and the situation was found to be an unsubstantiated threat. The lock down has been lifted and all after school activities have resumed as normal. We appreciate all involved including the community members who followed guidance from law enforcement and district personnel. Thank you, Mika Salas

Carbon District is reviewing language arts curriculum for adoption in grades K-5 beginning the 2024 school year. The Utah State Board of Education mandated curriculums must meet specific criteria in the science of reading. We are considering three that meet the current curriculum guidelines: McGraw Hill’s WONDERS program, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s INTO READING & Amplify’s CORE KNOWLEDGE LANGUAGE ARTS (CKLA). Teachers at elementary schools have been completing reviews of the programs & evaluating for those being considered. Parents/stakeholders are invited to review the programs on Mon, March 25th from 3-6 pm or Tues, March 26th from 8:11 am at the District Office, 251 W 400 N, Price, UT

Dear Parents/Guardians, Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for all of us. Students and staff regularly practice drills every month during the school year. We also practice lockdown drills. Your child's teacher has explained the importance of practicing and what will occur during our lockdown drill. We will be having a lock-down drill this week during the school day. A flyer is posted on our school webpage and will also be given out during parent-teacher conferences to explain the common language used and expectation for all drills held at the school. If you have any questions, please call the school at 435-637-2570.

Dear Families, This school year, Carbon School District transitioned to a new Student Information System-Powerschools. Either a letter or an email was sent to every child's parent/guardian to update their child's emergency contact information. We still have over 100 students whose registration has not been updated for this school year. You must complete this registration for every child in your household that attends a school in Carbon School District. If you have not registered your child, a letter is being sent home this week. Please check your child's backpack for a letter with the instructions on how to do this. If you have any questions, please call the school at 435-637-2570

Dear CSD Parents and Guardians, Early this morning several CSD employees received an email stating that there was a potential threat to schools. We involved our tech department and law enforcement to help us understand the legitimacy of the threat. We have since learned that the message was sent statewide and to districts in other states. At this point, the message is considered a hoax by law enforcement. We will share any updates pertinent to Carbon School District students. The safety of our students and staff is our utmost priority. Thank you, Mika Salas

CSD Parents, As our winter weather approaches, we would like to communicate our district's plan to safely transport students during heavy snowfall. COMMUNICATION WILL BE PROVIDED ANY TIME THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE NORMAL SCHOOL DAY. The following plan will be implemented when we experience heavy snowfall such that we cannot safely transport students to school as normally scheduled. 1. Carbon School District does not intend to cancel school for snow. We will use a "Late Start" schedule through the winter months. All district schedules will be adjusted by two (2) hours. For instance, if your child boards the bus at 7:00 on a normal day, they would board at 9:00 on a "Late Start" day. If school starts at 8:10 on a normal day, it will start at 10:10 on a "Late Start" day. The schools will ALWAYS end at the normal time. 2. In most cases, decisions cannot be made until the morning of the heavy snowfall. If an adjustment to the regular schedule is necessary, parents will be notified by 6:00 a.m. using our parent notification system. In addition, messages will be posted on all school and district websites and social media. 3. All Carbon School District preschool programs will be canceled on "Late Start" days. Thank you for your support and cooperation, Mika Salas
