♦Principal Message 

Dear Elk Meadows Community,

I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Elk Meadows Elementary. I am excited to join this incredible community and look forward to beginning our journey together for the upcoming school year.

For the past 10 years I have served as a principal in Jordan School District, with the last 7 years at Blackridge Elementary. Before moving into administration, I taught special education for 15 years. I grew up in the Cottonwood Heights area and currently live in Herriman with my wife and our five children — three boys and two girls, ages 13 to 4. We love the outdoors and often spend time at Lake Powell, exploring southern Utah, snow skiing, and traveling when we can.

I believe strong relationships are the foundation of a great school. I have already connected with many people who care deeply about Elk Meadows; their passion is contagious, and it’s clear this community puts children first. I am eager to meet each of you and to work together for an amazing year of learning here at Elk Meadows.

The following is a list of important dates and reminders as we prepare to start school on Aug 19th!

  • Please complete your child’s yearly registration before school starts. This ensures that your child will have access to technology at school and that we have accurate information for your child.
  • Teacher assignments are now available on Skyward!
  • Our Back-to-School Night will be held on Monday, Aug 17th. This is an open house format so come anytime between 5-7pm!
  • The first day of school for students in K-6th grade is Wednesday, Aug 19. The students should line up outside at 8:53am when they hear music playing outside. Colored dots are painted on the playground where students line up and there will be signs indicating teacher lines. The first bell rings at 8:55am and teachers will bring students into the building at that time. Here is a link to the updated Elementary Calendar.
  • The first day of school for Preschool will be Monday Aug 24. Here is the link to the Preschool Calendar.

  • There is outside supervision 15 minutes before and after school. If students come to school earlier than 8:45am and/or stay later than 3:50pm, there will be no outside supervision. Please plan accordingly so we can keep your children safe!
  • School Meal Prices
    • Breakfast is $1.30 and Lunch is $2.25.
    • You can apply for a FREE/REDUCED lunch by filling out this application online, by logging into Skyward, or you may pick up an application at the school.
  • Drop-off and pick-up of students must be done in the south car loop. The district has required that our east drop-off loop be used for buses only. Here is a link for more information!
  • Dress Code – Please ensure your child is following the district dress code. See the this link for dress code guidelines.
  • Device Policy – Please remind your children that the use of personal electronic and communication devices, including cell phone and smart watches, are not permitted during the school day. Students will be asked to keep these items in their backpacks while they are on school grounds and on school buses.

We hope you are all having a fun, safe, and exciting summer! We are excited to welcome students back to school on Wednesday, Aug 19th! If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact the school.

Sincerely,

David Butler

Principal, Elk Meadows Elementary
