Parents are invited to attend an evening of information and connection at the 4th annual ICSD Gifted Parent Education Night. The informational evening is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Oct. 15, in the district office board room, 2077 W. Royal Hunte Drive.
The event is designed to help families better understand the unique academic and social-emotional needs of advanced learners while providing practical strategies they can use at home. Parents will explore ways to encourage critical thinking, curiosity, and independence through meaningful conversations and everyday learning opportunities. Participants will leave with practical strategies to support their child's growth at home, including simple ways to incorporate elements of the Depth & Complexity Framework to foster creative and critical thinking while strengthening the home-school partnership.
Even if your child has not been formally identified as "gifted" please attend as this information will benefit most parents.
Parents/guardians,
In preparation for the Oct. 2 rivalry football game between the Cedar High School Reds and the Canyon View High School Falcons, we wanted to share a few instructions to ensure a safe and enjoyable event.
First, we want to recognize our partnership with Utah Summer Games and Southern Utah University. The use of the SUU Eccles Coliseum allows us to welcome about 11,000 spectators to the popular Coal Creek Classic. With that invite comes required security regulations not present at typical high school games.
Please be aware of and adhere to SUU’s clear bag policy. An outline of that policy with what is allowed in the stadium is attached. Fans not adhering to that policy will be asked to return the non-compliant bag to their vehicle before admission is allowed. Additionally, SUU is strongly discouraging any use of confetti and glitter.
As we get closer to the game, schools will communicate with students and parents more information about pre-game ticket purchases, tailgating activities, parking and more.
We are looking forward to a great game as two of our local teams compete for the Pickaxe trophy.

The Board of Education will consider a change to the 2026-27 school year calendar during its regular board meeting on Aug. 25.
The change request follows the release of the Utah High School Activities Association’s schedule for athletic events. The 2026-27 school year calendar includes high school graduations on May 19. The UHSSA schedule for May 2027 schedules state tournaments for track and field, boys soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse and tennis that same week. The UHSAA calendar was released after Iron County School District’s calendar was approved.
State athletic tournaments, especially track and field, impact many seniors. School administrators approached the district with their concerns for those students who may have to choose between their sport and graduation.
The board will consider a recommendation to change graduation to Monday, May 24, for Launch and Southwest Education Academy and Tuesday, May 25, for Canyon View, Cedar and Parowan high schools. The last day of school would be moved to Wednesday, May 26. A professional day for teachers would be held May 27. School would still end before Memorial Day because the holiday is on May 31 in 2027.
The board will also consider a proposal to make up those extra four days by moving the start of winter break to Dec. 21, adding an extra day to fall break and scheduling the Friday before President’s day as a holiday.
Public comment is scheduled during the Aug. 25 meeting which begins at 5:30 p.m. Board meetings are held in the district office, 2077 W. Royal Hunte Drive.
Join us for Back to School Night Aug.11 6-7pm!
We’re excited to welcome our students and families to a new school year. Please review the important information linked.
