Principal’s Corner
First of all, let me say thank you for making me feel so welcome as the “New Guy” here at Kanesville. This is a great community with great families and kids and I am very lucky to be a part of your community. A testament to the families here is how well the whole community has adjusted to the changes in our drop-off and pick-up policies. We as a staff feel very good about the new policies and we are grateful for the way you have adjusted. We believe that our children are safer because of these new policies and that is our number 1 concern.
We want to welcome Mrs. Chris Taylor to our staff. She is our new 1st grade teacher, and we are lucky to have her on our staff. Please take time to say hi to her and help her feel welcome at our school.
I had a great time at back to school night meeting all of you. I want all of you to know that I have an open door policy and welcome all of your input. I can’t promise that we will always agree, but I can promise that I will always listen and maintain an open dialogue with anyone who has concerns.
Thanks again for welcoming me to your school. I look forward to many years of working alongside our great staff to provide the best education in Weber County.
K-Town Rocks!!!

PTA President ‘s Corner
Welcome Back!! We are so excited for another great school year at Kanesville Elementary. We would like to thank everyone for coming to Back-To-School-Night and supporting the PTA. We would also like to give a BIG thank you to all the volunteers who helped . We had a great turn out. The new hoodie and t-shirt design and spirit sleeves were a huge hit! If you didn’t have a chance to see or purchase them, we have one on display in the office. We are sending home our order form from Back to School Night with the newsletter. We are also accepting donations for our PTA donation drive and selling PTA memberships. A cash donation and PTA membership are ways to help and support the PTA which in turn helps support teachers and activities at the school. We would like to welcome our new principal, Mr. Zellmer, and all the other new faculty members at Kanesville.

Welcome back! I hope that you have had a wonderful summer and that your child is ready to be back and eager to learn. As a new year begins, it is always good to review a few guidelines to maintain your health.
First, eat a good breakfast before coming to school. Your brain uses the energy you get from food to help you learn. If you haven’t eaten since the night before, your brain is pretty low on energy. Take the time to eat before leaving for school. Whole grain carbohydrates and a protein will stay with your child much longer than cold cereal.
Next, sleep is an essential element in doing well in school. School age children need at least 10 hours of sleep each night. Encourage your children to start winding down the day 30-45 minutes before they should actually be asleep. This can include bedtime routines such as brushing their teeth, choosing what they want to wear the next day and some time spent reading.
We will be doing a vision screening for 1st –6th grade on September 20th. I will have some PTA volunteers here to help me screen the students. I will send a notice home to you if your child does not pass the vision screening. If you do not want you child’s vision tested, please notify me in writing. If you need assistance with an eye exam or glasses, please let me know. There are resources available to those who qualify.
If you child will be taking medication at school this year, or keeping medication at school to be used as needed, please notify me. You will need to have an authorization form signed by you and your physician on file at school. This includes both prescription and over the counter medications. These forms can be found on the nurse’s page on the district website.
Please notify me if your child has any chronic health problems that might require intervention at school. It is Weber School District’s policy to have a Individualized Health Plan for students with health care needs.
I will be at Kanesville Elementary on Tuesdays this year. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child that you would like to discuss, please feel free to contact me. My email is cstreuper@wsd.net.
