About Settlement Canyon Elementary

Principal's Message

Dear Badger Families,
Welcome back to an exciting new school year at Settlement Canyon Elementary! We hope you had a wonderful summer filled with fun and relaxation.
As we gear up for another fantastic year, we are thrilled to have our hallways buzzing with the energy and enthusiasm of our amazing students once again.
At Settlement Canyon Elementary, we are committed to creating a positive and nurturing environment where every student can thrive. Our overarching expectations for all students are simple yet powerful: Be Kind, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Positive. These values guide our interactions, help us build strong relationships, and foster a supportive community.
Be Kind: A little kindness goes a long way. We encourage our students to show empathy, lend a helping hand, and treat others with compassion.
Be Respectful: Respect is the foundation of a harmonious school environment. We expect our students to honor the feelings, rights, and properties of others,
and to listen and communicate thoughtfully.
Be Responsible: Taking responsibility for our actions and choices is key to personal growth. We encourage our students to be accountable, make wise decisions,
and always strive to do their best.
Be Positive: A positive attitude can make a world of difference. We believe in the power of optimism and encourage our students to approach challenges with confidence and a can-do spirit. This year, we have set several key goals to help our students succeed: Improve Reading Proficiency Levels: Reading is the cornerstone of learning, and we want to ensure every student is building strong literacy skills. We ask that you make it a priority to read with your child for at least 20 minutes each night. This simple daily practice can have a tremendous impact on your child’s academic success and love for reading.
Master Math Facts: We are focusing on mastering essential math skills, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Strong math fact fluency is crucial for problem-solving and higher-level math concepts, and we encourage regular practice at home to support your child's growth.
Attendance Goal: Regular attendance is vital for academic success. Our goal is for every student to miss no more than 10 days during the school year. Being present every day ensures that your child doesn't miss out on valuable learning opportunities
and helps them stay on track with their peers.
Together, we can create an atmosphere where every student feels valued and supported. We look forward to a year filled with learning, laughter, and countless opportunities for growth.
It's a great day to be a Badger!
Warmest regards, Camille Hanson, Principal
