Dear Parents,
Thank you for your understanding of the Year-round
announcement that was made yesterday. I
wanted to take this opportunity to give you some information about why the
decision to go year-round was made.
1.
Fox Hollow Elementary is one of the largest
Elementary Schools ever built in Jordan School District. It has six additional classrooms.
2.
Fox Hollow is the 2nd largest
traditional elementary in Jordan District.
3.
Fox Hollow Elementary enrollment is at 940
students.
4.
Fox Hollow is the fastest growing Elementary
School in Jordan School District. We
grew 90 students in August. That amounts
to four classes.
5.
There are no empty classrooms at Fox
Hollow. We have no empty space for
growth. Earlier in the year it became
necessary to hire additional teaching staff to offset the high class
loads. Those teachers are currently
teaching in the kiva areas of the school.
6.
The
common areas of the school are overcrowded.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for grade levels to fit in the
cafeteria for lunch. Computer lab,
library, and gym opportunities are reduced as enrollment increases
7.
Projections for our school point to continued
growth.
I thought this information might be helpful to you as we
move forward. Thank you for your
support of Fox Hollow Elementary. I
thoroughly enjoy being a part of Fox Hollow.
This is a great community.
Thanks again for your understanding.
Respectfully,
Kevin Pullan
