During the annual Employee Retirement Dinner we honored 30 Tooele County School District employees who've served in the field of education for a combined 757 years! Thank you for your dedication to education.

This spring, hundreds of our elementary students learned about the life cycles of various species in a firsthand way. Thanks to the Tooele Education Foundation and a grant from Cargill, students in 95 classrooms across the district either observed caterpillars grow into butterflies, chicks hatching from fertilized eggs in incubators or cared for plants and goldfish in an aquaponics set up.

According to Earthday.Org, on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans protested for a healthy, sustainable environment. By the end of that year, the first Earth Day had led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. Fifty-one years later, the annual Earth Day celebration continues. Earthday.Org’s theme for this year is Restore Our Earth. It focuses on natural processes and emerging green technologies that can restore the world's ecosystems.

May 3-7 is Teacher Appreciation Week and we need your help. Please leave us a note about a teacher who has made a positive impact. Notes will be posted on the TCSD social media sites and also shared with the teacher. Thank you.

Even though the statewide mask mandate will be lifted on April 10, the mask requirements for K-12 schools will remain in place until June 15. Local officials, like a school board or county council, do not have the legal authority to end the school mask requirement before this date.
