CAYCI Survey
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Take our Parent CAYCI survey and your student can win a prize! Canyons School District and Hillcrest are very interested in your opinion! We are asking for your help to identify how we can improve our schools and better support students and families. This survey is anonymous. https://bit.ly/CAYCIParent23

*If you have children attending more than one school, please complete a separate survey for each school so that we can better respond to unique concerns. Our goal is to have every family return this survey. Your answers to the survey questions will be kept confidential and no one from the school district will see how you individually answered the questions. Your participation in this survey is of great service to your family, school, and community.
In order for results to be compiled, surveys must be completed by March 24th. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Elena (El) Foley (801-826-6167/elena.foley@canyonsdistrict.org)

With so much media and information coming at us through the television, phones, social media, and more, it’s more important than ever for kids to understand the basics of media literacy. When kids can identify different types of news and media and the methods and meanings behind them, they’re on their way to being critical thinkers and informed consumers. Visit Common Sense Media to learn more about these quick tips.
We are a Community School!
The Hillcrest Free Market is seeking donations of snacks such as granola bars, squeeze applesauce and peanut butter cookies. We are completely out! Donations can be made at the front office. We also have several students waiting for clothing listed HERE on our Amazon wish list or you can donate to our Success Fund. Our market is run 100% on community donations and partnerships.
