Protect Classroom Stability at Canyon View Elementary

Emily Taggart

Unfair to the kids and teachers

Amelia Osburn

This is awful to affect so many kids in a negative way and teachers and parents as well too I guess save money? That is awful and unethical.

Allyson Sorensen

This is unacceptable and cannot happen again.

Mindy Dunn

Put yourself in a teachers shoe that had to leave their class and curriculum so suddenly. Put yourself in a students shoe that nervously came to a foreign environment only to have to start that all over again. Put yourself in the parent’s shoes that try all morning to reassure their child all will be well. If anyone tried any of those shoes on I doubt this decision would have been made.

Abe Reyna

Making significant staffing changes after the school year has already begun creates unnecessary disruption for students, teachers, and families. Our kids deserve consistency in the classroom, and our teachers deserve the resources and support needed to succeed.

Meredith Stone

I want our kids and teachers to thrive - education is so important to the flourishing of our community. I don’t know that they can do that w a class size over 30.

Laurie Pangborn

Teachers, students and families deserve better. This decision seems to not have been handled with their best interests in mind.

Emily Webb

This happened at my school to my child. The new year is a time of great change and a time of great stress on our children and their teachers. Everything in the new school year is new. Then, just as everyone is settling in to the new, this great upheaval happened and now everything is new again. That’s not fair to these 8 and 9 year olds. In all of the years I have been in canyons district, which is a lot (my oldest is 21) this has never happened. I feel like it could have been handled better.

Laura Wood

This is unacceptable for all affected. These changes should have been projected long before the school year began. Our teachers, students, and parents deserve better.

Tanner Owens

We need more teachers for our students. We are number one in the country regarding business and growth of business success. Why can’t we be number one regarding teacher, success, and having opportunities for our kids to continue this business success down the road?

Meggan Morgan

It is unacceptable to make such huge changes 3 weeks into the school year. It is obvious the school district does not care about teacher retention or happiness. These teachers deserve better, and so do our students!

Samantha Debenham

As the parent of a third-grade student directly affected, I am disappointed. Our children spent the first three weeks of school getting settled into their classrooms, building relationships, learning routines, and beginning to feel comfortable and confident in a new school year. Then, through no fault of their own, that stability was taken away. Asking children to start over in a larger classroom has a real emotional and educational impact. These are young children, not numbers on a spreadsheet.

Marie Johnson

The district needs to speak to why teacher reassignments are being made after the school year has started. My child's school also had teacher reassignments. 3 weeks in decisions should have already been made. These changes affect the whole school: parents, teachers, staff, & most importantly the students. Teachers need time to plan and transition grades. Students deserve decent class sizes and consistency. Learning is disrupted with these decisions. How did this happen? Seems irresponsible.

Spencer Whitmore

It’s ridiculous that this was part of any regular protocol. This kind of disruption is clearly detrimental to the education of these children.

Missy Griffiths

Shame on Canyon School District for making such a disruptive decision just weeks into the school year. Taking away a third grade teacher putting over 30 students in classrooms and then pulling a first grade teacher to compensate is unacceptable. Our children deserve stability and better planning. This was a huge mistake and we are not okay with it.

Anna Whitmore

This is completely unacceptable. The district says they are putting students first but clearly they don’t care that much about student wellbeing to make changes like this after 3 weeks of school.

Travis Yates

This is unacceptable. Our daughter loved her 3rd grade teacher, class of 21, and that she had a couple of her best friends in her class. Over one weekend the class is dissolved, she has a new teacher with 30 other kids, and all her friends are in the other class. This was an unnecessary disruption. It’s ridiculous this happened 3 weeks in. All due to 13 less kids enrolled, which is 2 per grade - that is an unreasonable margin/buffer! This should never happen again to our kids and these teachers.

Courtney Anderson

This affects my child he is in third grade. And does not deserve to have 30 and 31 kids in his class these kids deserve more than that.

Cameron Sheldon

A school should never have a mass change 3 weeks into the year. That is unacceptable.

Amy Jo Royall

Our teachers and students deserve better
