Superintendent's Message 2019-20
March
Dear SLCSD parents and families,
You may have already received or will soon receive a post card in your mailbox from the U.S. Census Bureau asking you to fill out the 2020 Census. I join them in asking ask you to please fill out this year’s Census. It is vital to our community and our schools.
February
Dear SLCSD families and community,
January was an exciting month, with so many things happening, and it doesn’t look like things are going to slow down in February. In this monthly message, I want to focus on three issues.
January
It’s that time of year again, when people begin to plan and set resolutions and goals for the new year. I hope you are among them, and I hope you will help your children set some goals as well.

September
Dear SLCSD students and families,
Welcome back! We are so excited to have you in our district this year. During the first month of the school year, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit all 40 schools in Salt Lake City School District. I was so impressed with the students and their eagerness to learn.
August
Dear SLCSD Parents and Community,
It’s hard to believe that the 2019-2020 school year is days away. I imagine that many students, parents, teachers, and administrators are eagerly anticipating the first day of school, which is Monday, August 19, 2019. After a long summer, we are all ready to see our school friends and begin learning.
