We are a group of Silver Mesa parents who want what is best for our school staff, teachers and students. We believe this can be achieved through a PTO. The district has a policy allowing parents a vote. We first must complete a Notice of Intent and petition and then we will be allowed a vote. This blog will help educate, inform and unite through this process. Keep updated on what is going on here. UPDATE: You should have received a ballot in the mail. If you didn't and want to vote, contact the district. We encourage everyone to study both organizations and vote for the group they believe best represents their ideals.

Volunteer

My kids are really excited to start the new school year (yes, they really do LOVE school). A big part of that has to do with where they go to school. Silver Mesa is an amazing school! Ms. Fielding is a great principal. She has put a lot of time and effort into making our school a wonderful and safe place for my kids to learn.

Silver Mesa has the best teachers! We have loved each teacher my kids have had and look forward to meeting new teachers in a few weeks. Our principal and teachers are super talented, smart and excel in what they do; educating and loving our kids.

But, they can't do it alone – they need parent volunteers!

The first step to volunteering is to fill out the District Volunteer Application (
https://volunteer.canyonsdistrict.org/volunteersystem/volunteer/index.cfm). You will be asked basic contact information to complete the application, and it takes about 24-48 hours for approval. Super easy!

After you are approved, you are ready to volunteer! There are volunteer opportunities for everyone no matter how much/little time you have. There are all sorts of ways you can donate your time. In the classrooms, most opportunities will begin after school starts so watch for e-mails or ask your teacher how you can help. Silver Mesa needs YOU!
