Sibling Enrollment – Incoming Kindergarteners
Do you have children you would like to enroll at American Prep next year? For example, incoming kindergarten siblings? Or siblings that attend others schools? NOW is your chance to get priority enrollment for next year. Please apply as soon as possible, since our lottery starts soon. We can offer you priority if there are seats available, but if the seats are filled by lottery you may end up on a waiting list. Here is the link: https://www.americanprep.org/enrollment/utah-application/
This is separate from re-enrollment (when you indicate whether current students will return). That will happen in February or March.
COVID Updates
Governor Herbert has announced that students exposed to COVID-19 at school while wearing masks do not need to quarantine. This will be so helpful for our students and teachers to avoid disruptions in learning! Watch for more updates as we return to school in January.
We remind you to keep students home if they have ANY symptoms of COVID-19.
School Lunch
Because of COVID, our menu is subject to change. Whenever possible we try to serve the specific lunch as listed on the menu, but there are occasions when your student will be presented with an alternative lunch that meets the nutritional requirements and your child’s specific dietary restrictions. If your student cannot eat the lunch presented, they should go to the lunch staff who will provide an adequate meal. We will continue to serve Regular (with meat) or Vegetarian (without meat), Gluten Free, or Dairy Free. We CANNOT guarantee the specific item will match the menu.
