A bill approved by Utah lawmakers during the 2021 legislative session ends the state’s mask mandate starting April 10. Although the state of Utah will lift the statewide mask mandate, schools in the state are exempt from the legislation. Tooele County School District will continue to follow all previously established health guidelines.

In the Student and School Safety Assessment Bill, (HB120), the State Board of Education was directed to create an anonymous School Climate Survey to be administered to students, parents, teachers, staff, administrators, and school resource officers. We are requesting parents/guardians take a moment to complete the survey for their student's school. Thank you!

Elevated Eats, a breakfast, lunch, and catering restaurant, is set to open next month.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has made another extension to the free meals for kids program. All breakfast and lunch meals for TCSD students and those in the community aged 18 and under will be free through September 30.

On March 9, there will be no school for students in grades 9, 10, and 12 at Blue Peak High School, Grantsville High School, Stansbury High School, and Tooele High School. Eleventh-grade students will be taking the ACT. Because this is a standardized ACT state testing session, students must have proper identification and will not be allowed to enter testing rooms late, (please be on time). Cell phones will not be allowed. Students are allowed to bring an approved calculator. Testing will be completed around noon. Lunch will be provided after the test. Buses will run on their regular schedule. If a student does not want to wait at the school until the regular bus pick-up time they can make alternate pick-up arrangements, but are not required to do so. If there are any questions, please contact your school.

This school year, Tooele County School District’s Transportation Department is testing out a program to help bus drivers ensure students are getting on the correct bus and off at the right stop. (To read more, click on the title)

Tooele County School District is participating in a survey project organized by the Utah State Board of Education focusing on school climate. School climate can be defined as the quality and character of school life. We can improve school climate when we understand the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of members of a school’s community. The feedback we collect from families, students, teachers and staff through these school climate surveys will help us identify specific strengths and weaknesses within each school. This information is essential in our effort to make our schools places where students can learn and where everyone feels safe and welcome. (To learn more about this survey project, click on the title.)

Tooele County School District is working on enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year. To help with this process, we need to know where your student plans on going next school year. This survey takes only a few minutes. Please repeat for each student enrolled with Tooele County School District. Thank you for your time!
