Dr. Lopez-Larson is an adult, child and adolescent psychiatrist and an expert on bullying prevention. She received her M.D. from the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine and her psychiatry training from Harvard Medical School. She now lives locally in Utah.

The seminar will allow parents to ask questions anonymously.

We hope you will join us on Tuesday, May 3, as we continue to make every effort to create safe, supportive environments for your child.

In addition to this parent event, Jordan District will be making parent coaching available for all families. For more information on parent coaching, please review the attached flyers.

Staff at Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary after getting slimed Students and teachers at Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary School participated in ‘Walk to Read’ this school year and worked toward the program’s reading goals. Principal Ross Menlove promised if they hit their goals, they would get to slime staff members.

Recently, the students reached their reading goals, and Principal Menlove followed through with his promise by getting slimed, along with the school’s digital and instructional coaches.

Great job to the students and staff at Rocky Peak Virtual Elementary for hitting your reading goals. And, great job to the Rocky Peak staff for finding a fun way to reward students for their hard-earned accomplishments.
