Director's Message

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at Grand Preschool! We are ready to start another great year of adventures in learning at Grand Preschool! We offer you a warm welcome to our preschool family of learners. Grand Preschool is a school staffed with energetic, caring and qualified adults who encourage and support all of our students.

My name is Sherrie Buckingham and I'm honored to be the Director of Grand Preschool. Your child will be spending an active and engaging, event-filled year of learning and educational opportunity at Grand Preschool.

The Grand Preschool staff encourages family involvement and hopes to build educational partnerships with you. By working together we can help each child achieve an excellent education in a safe and positive environment. Please contact your child's teacher to find out out how you can participate in preschool activities during pandemic conditions.

Our student handbook will provide you with useful information and should help answer questions about our school.

Our Preschool Re-Opening Plan will also provide you with useful information about how we are keeping students and staff safe during COVID-19.

2 Hour Snow Delay for All Campuses

January 18 - All campuses will have a two hour delay on January 18. All bus times will be the same but two hours later. This will give time for our maintenance team to plow the school parking lots and ensure access. We have been working with UDOT and this will also give them time to plow the roads in town this morning. Dismissal times will be the same.
