Nebo School District is offering a free hybrid in-person AND live zoom workshop on March 9 withUtah Parent Center to help answer difficult behavior questions parents may have, and to help them know what they can do as parents.  This workshop can be attended by anyone who is interested and will apply to both children and teens.

All Nebo schools will be open on the regular schedule for Thursday, February 23, 2023. We truly appreciate the city, county, state, and district personnel for their diligent work in our recent storm across our district. Please remember that school closures are rare. In most cases, school will remain in session even with Utah's climate. Because weather conditions may vary greatly in different neighborhoods and on different streets, we encourage parents to make attendance decisions for their own students.

Unfortunately, experience has taught us that there is no single decision that will accommodate the desires of every patron and employee. That being the case, Nebo District is supportive of individual decisions regarding safe travel during inclement weather. Please evaluate your individual situation regarding travel to school. The option to keep children home when weather conditions are severe is always at the parents’ discretion and schools have been asked to respect and honor parent decisions. Make-up schoolwork may be necessary, but schools will accommodate students on the timely completion of required assignments or tests.

Congratulations! We are so proud of you for being a Nebo Hero!

Due to the recent storm, all schools will be operating on a two-hour delayed start today, Wednesday, February 22. This means that if your school normally starts at 8:00 a.m., it will be starting at 10 a.m. Busses will also be running on a two -hour delayed schedule.

Students who reached their goal on Amira received a ticket to be entered into a drawing. If the student's ticket was chosen, the student was given one minute to shoot from the one line, second line, third line, etc. to the fifth line while the whole school was cheering them on!  Then they got to choose a prize and a book.  We have some amazing athletes and scholars here at Santaquin Elementary!

Hockey Horse Tag was a hit with the students in P.E. for hockey week!

4th grade students performed their animal report puppet shows for classrooms all over the school today!  They all did an amazing job and the students watching the shows loved them so much!
