Back to School

Alex started 7th grade on August 25th and is attending Fort Herriman Middle School. He has a full schedule consisting of Pre-Algebra, CTE (Career Tech Education - AKA HomeEc), Choir, PE, Utah Studies, Science, and Language Arts. You can check out his school's website at http://www.fhms.jordan.k12.ut.us/.


Vanessa starts the fifth grade at a new charter school, Providence Hall. A charter school, as I understand it, is a public school but is able to operate independently from the rest of the school district... something like that. Check out wikipedia if you want to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_school. The nice thing about Vanessa's school is that it specializes in Art and Spanish. She will have a daily Art and Spanish class along with her regular 5th grade coursework. You can check out her school's website at: http://providencehall.com/. Besides the emphasis on Spanish, we are happy that the charter school has uniforms. I'll post pictures after her first day of class.
