Important Reminders:

Parent/Teacher Conferences: October 1–2
Book Fair: September 30 – October 3
Home and school partnerships are an important way to support student learning. One way we can come together as partners is through Parent/Teacher Conferences.
Our fall Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place October 1-2, 2025. Times slots are generally available on both days between 4:00-8:00pm, though specific teacher availability may vary depending on a teacher’s class size and other class-specific considerations. Please note that if you have more than one child, it is helpful to leave a space between each appointment to accommodate any back-ups that may occur.
To schedule conference times, we will use the conference scheduler feature of Skyward, the district’s student data system. Using your Skyward Family Access login, you can reserve conference appointments right from a computer or mobile device.
The Alpine School District has prepared tutorials on how to schedule conferences in Skyward Family Access, which you can access via the links below:
If you do not have access to a computer or another Internet-ready device, you may use one at Rocky Mountain or you may contact your child’s teacher directly to schedule your conference time(s). If you do not have a functioning Skyward account, please click here or contact the school secretaries at 801-610-8117.
Lastly, we are happy to host a Scholastic Book Fair at Rocky Mountain Elementary during the week of Parent/Teacher Conferences. The fair will be open during both conference evenings, as well as at other times in the week. Specifically, it will be open 8:00am-7:30pm Tuesday-Thursday and Friday 8:00am-12:00pm. Students will also be able to attend the Book Fair during recess periods and their regularly scheduled library times.
We look forward to conferencing with you this coming week!
Sincerely,
Zach Eagar
Principal

An accident on northbound I-15 in the Lindon area has caused significant delays on the freeway and artery roads.
This road closure will impact busing throughout the district. We anticipate bus delays at multiple schools, including activity buses.
All routes will be completed, but it is unknown how long this will take.
