Blinding Us with Science!

CSD’s Sean Thorpe Bringing Science to the Masses

Move over Neil deGrasse Tyson, there’s a new popularizer of science in town. Sean Thorpe, an instructional coach at Canyons School District, has found a way to introduce not just students, but entire school communities, to the wonders of science with his Science Festivals. Not to be confused with science fairs, where students enter projects and compete for prizes, science festivals are open to students of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. Thorpe recently staged one at Oak Hollow Elementary, which drew hundreds of students and their siblings and parents — all eager to try their hands at dissecting a squid, launching fizz rockets, or cracking open geodes.

Endless Opportunities to Pursue Your Passions

Academics and Curriculum
In Canyons District, we believe every child learns differently and every child can learn. We meet students where they are with personalized instruction and academic programs matched to their interests and highest aspirations. Choose your adventure: from special-education workplace training programs to dual language immersion classes where students learn Spanish, French, or Chinese. Maybe you’re looking to place your child in preschool or kindergarten where you know the focus will be on building character as well as the foundations for academic success. Each of our schools has its strengths and traditions, from award-winning, science, technology, theatre and dance programs to the Step2theU partnership through which students can earn two semesters of college while still in high school. But all Canyons District’s schools are distinguished by their unified commitment to evidenced-based instruction and innovation in the classroom.

CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
