Agenda below Click here for our Community Calendar about 39th South, offers DLI in Spanish. Spring Lane Elementary, physically located in Holladay but with about half its boundaries drawing from Millcreek, offers DLI in Chinese. Utah’s format of Dual Language Immersion is quite simple, but the results are extraordinary. For students in these programs, instruction is divided between two high-quality creative classrooms: one in English, and one in the second language. It all begins in first grade with simple steps of learning. It culminates with the acquisition of a second language and significantly increased cultural awareness. “Students enrolled in the program become a part of a small community,” said Mill Creek principal Ann Kane. “It’s not just a classroom style; these students take part in cultural activities and community events to really immerse themselves in the language they’re learning.” In 2008, the first cohort of DLI students in Utah entered first grade ready to make education history in our state. Flash forward to today, these same students are now entering college, having earned university-level credits, a Seal of Biliteracy on their high school transcript, and invaluable language skills for the job market and global community. Click here for more information on Utah's DLI model. There is still space available in both of the programs in Millcreek. BUT NOTE: You do not need to reside within the boundaries of these schools in order to enroll. For the Spanish language program at Mill Creek Elementary, send an email to principal Ann Kane at [EMAIL REDACTED]. For the Chinese language program at Spring Lane, contact principal Afton Lambson at [PHONE REDACTED]. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2/25/2019 Dual language immersion programs want your elementary school kids 3/9 MOUNTAINAIR STREETSCAPE PLANNING SESSION TOMORROW MILLCREEK. The city's newest open space is a strip of property along Highland Drive located between 3000 South and about 3100 South. Once known for lush lilac bushes, the strip is in need of a tender loving redo. Come to a workshop tomorrow morning, Sat., Feb 23, 9:30-10:30 am at Adib's Rug Gallery, 3092 So. Highland Drive, to give us your ideas on developing this space. You'll also get an update on our ideas about the future of Highland Dr. Help Us Get You the Emergency Info You Need MILLCREEK. We ran a story a couple of weeks about how to sign up for reverse 9-1-1. Click here to review it. The issue with unsafe water in Sandy earlier this week, and the small earthquakes in Draper last week, got us to thinking it'd be a good idea to remind everyone to sign up. This notification service is available to Millcreek residents through the Salt Lake Valley Emergency Communications Center (VECC). If you enroll your cell phone, you'll get a text message from the VECC notifying you of serious ---PAGE BREAK--- 2/25/2019 Dual language immersion programs want your elementary school kids 4/9 emergency situations that may affect you.

School crossing guards are out every school day keeping our kids safe. These fantastic folks endure inclement weather and irresponsible drivers, keep their cool and always focus on the kids. Next time you drive by, smile and wave. It just might make a crossing guard's day. And always remember to slow down and keep a sharp eye out at all school crossings. The UPD needs crossing guards.

HOW TO LEARN ABOUT OUTSTANDING BUILDING ---PAGE BREAK--- 2/25/2019 Dual language immersion programs want your elementary school kids 6/9 APPLICATIONS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. MILLCREEK. Millcreek wants to keep residents informed about building permit applications going on in our neighborhoods. Adjoining neighbors receive a mailer informing them about the proposed project. The local community councils generally have a chance to review applications at their public meetings, and then the Planning Commission will have a second public meeting. Sometimes the City Council also takes a look at a proposed project in a third public meeting. The city has begun to place A-frame signs on the property itself, like the one in the picture above. If you see such a sign in your neighborhood, that is a good place to obtain information about what is being proposed. You can also always call the City to find out what's happening.
