CSD Still Taking Applications for Augmented Kindergarten Program

There’s still time to apply for a spot in Canyons District’s innovative program for kindergarten-age students. 

The District continues to take applications for the Supplemental Hours of Instruction classes for the 2017-2018 school year – a groundbreaking early-childhood academic initiative that was recently spotlighted by KSL-TV Channel 5

Students in the classes receive nearly four additional hours of instruction every school day. Enrollees begin and end school at the same time as the school’s first- through fifth-grade students.  This is the second year Canyons has provided this educational opportunity to the community. 

Who is eligible for the opt-in, tuition-based program?  Any student who is 5 years old by Sept. 1, 2017.  

How to apply?  It’s easy – click here to access Frequently Asked Questions and the online application.

Cost for the program is $2,950 a year, and can be paid in monthly installments, August-May. A 10 percent discount is available for parents and guardians who pay the yearly tuition in full at one time. There also is a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $100.

Financial-need scholarships also are available for qualifying students. Parents may apply for the financial assistance at the same time they submit enrollment applications. 

The program is dependent on enrollment. The program can only be offered at a school if there are at least 20 students who have signed up. 

The District aims to provide the program at Alta View, Altara, Bell View, Bella Vista, Brookwood, Butler, Crescent, Lone Peak, Midvalley, Oakdale, Park Lane, Ridgecrest, Sprucewood, Sunrise, Quail Hollow and Willow Canyon elementary schools. 

Efforts will be made to enroll students at school closest to their homes – but the District cannot guarantee placement at any specific school.  

Children who qualify for transportation services will ride the kindergarten bus with morning-session kindergarten students and will ride home with the afternoon-session kindergarten students.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
