Wanted: Second-Grade Students for New Spanish Immersion Program

Are you interested in having your second-grade student immersed in learning Spanish through elementary school and beyond?

Canyons District has openings in its new Spanish Dual Language Immersion Program at Midvalley Elementary in Midvale.

The District recently held a special lottery for seats in the program, which is scheduled to start this coming fall and was approved by the Canyons Board of Education to meet growing demand for Spanish immersion classes. While interest was high, we still have a critical number of openings for students who are entering the second grade. If we don’t fill these spots, Midvalley won’t be able to staff a second-grade class.

Children from all parts of Canyons may apply, but families need to act soon in order to provide the District time to make hiring decisions and other preparations. To be considered for placement in the program, please complete the “2020-2021 Late Lottery Application” form found at this online portal by 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 1.

Midvalley’s first-grade immersion classes have reached their enrollment goal, but there are a few openings available for those interested in applying.

Students who have already received a placement in another DLI program or are on the waitlist may apply for these two programs without risking their placement or status on the current waitlist. A family that ends up with two placements as a result of the special lottery can select their placement of choice.

Questions? Please contact Yezenia Frisby at 801-826-5026.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
