Announcements

November 26 Burger Meet Canceled: Due to recently increased health restrictions, Hale Center Theatre has canceled all showings of Tarzan. We will no longer be having our Burger Meet in Sandy, UT on November 26. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please remind your student to use their webcam: Students should always be on camera in class. This helps our mentors connect with your student and your student with their classmates. If there is a particular reason your student cannot stay on camera, please have them message their mentor at the beginning of class.

New app from Keys to Success: Keys to Success has designed a new app to help your student unlock their future by connecting them with scholarships, internships, and opportunities to match their career interests. Students who participate can get points to redeem for prizes on the Keys To Success app. Click here to find out more.

Edmit online workshop: LAU is hosting an online workshop with Edmit to help juniors and seniors evaluate and improve their college list so they can find the right financial fit. Edmit presenters will also help students get immediate, personalized insights on the scholarships and financial aid for which they are eligible. Parents are welcome to attend as well. This workshop will take place Friday, November 20, from 12:00-12:45 PM MST. That morning, students will see the link for this meeting in Homeroom.

Digital Learning Guide available: The Department of Education has shared this helpful guide to help families with digital learning. It has great information and useful tips on helping your child navigate and learn in an online classroom.
