Students who are able to demonstrate mastery of their grade level assessment three times in a row will become a member of the Math Fact Ninja Club at our monthly induction meetings. Aside from having their picture up in our library hallway, those who have mastered the math facts can have free time while the rest of the class is practicing and being assessed. They also receive one free karate lesson by Honshi Darren Cox over at the Herriman Community Center for being a club member. He provides some instruction and demonstration for the students at their club induction meeting at the school. Students will receive a Math Fact Ninja wristband to go with their club card. This club exists to encourage students to spend more time becoming fluent in their grade requirements to prepare them to solve more difficult multi-step problems. Please encourage your student to develop a regiment of study that will allow them to join the club.

Dear Butterfield Canyon Elementary Community,

I am looking forward to working with the great community of Butterfield Canyon Elementary (BCE). As an educator, I am student-focused, results-oriented, and collaborative. My goal is to always do what is in the best interest of students.

­

I taught special education at Cottonwood High School for 7 years and was also the Head Girls’ Basketball and Soccer coach. My next adventure was teaching special education at Bluffdale Elementary for 8 years. This past year I was fortunate to be the Assistant Principal at both BCE and Herriman Elementary. I believe that my variety of professional experiences throughout the past 16 years will allow me to better understand and help meet the diverse needs of all students.

My vision is to continually increase the quality of education by providing instructional leadership for data-driven decision making to improve learning for ALL students, foster an effective professional learning community enhanced through professional development, and maintaina safe environment conducive to learning and teaching.

Education is my passion and I fully support Jordan School District’s Mission Statement: “Every Child, Every Day.” Please know that I am here to serve the children and people in the BCE community. I am happy to address any questions or concerns to ensure that every child’s educational needs are met each day.

The BCE community is amazing and I feel so blessed to be a part of this unique school culture. I look forward to getting to know all of you. Thank you for all you do to support the education of your student(s).

Sincerely,

Ms. Amanda Bollinger

Dear Parents and Students of Butterfield Canyon Elementary,

I am delighted to introduce myself as your new assistant principal and look forward to serving the Butterfield Canyon Community. As a Utah native and Herriman City resident I already feel at home here and look forward to supporting the school mission of LEAD: Learning Daily, Empowering Leadership, Achieving Goals and Discovering Potential.

Jordan School District’s mission statement, “Every Child, Every Day” does a nice job of summing up my most basic personal philosophy of education. As an educator, I maintain a strong focus on student learning and the whole child. Building positive relationships and a collaborative working environment are of utmost importance to me.

My background as an educator includes teaching at the elementary level for many years, as well as completing administrative internships at the elementary, middle and high school levels. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and young people of all ages, and absolutely loved my years as a classroom teacher. Most recently I served as a teacher facilitator at Herriman Elementary, coaching intern and new teachers and assisting with administrative duties. My passion for nurturing all educators, but especially new teachers, blossomed with this position. I’m excited to work with the teachers of Butterfield Canyon. I was also fortunate to work with Ms. Bollinger at Herriman Elementary and couldn’t be happier about joining her at Butterfield Canyon!

I have heard wonderful things about the Butterfield Canyon community. I look forward to meeting you and assisting each of your students in their individual educational needs. Please feel free to contact me at any time.

Sincerely,

Ms. Candie Checketts

Mrs. Joos recently received the Crystal Apple Award presented by Mario Pia from Horace Mann.  Here is why she was nominated:

“Mrs. Joos listens to ideas from her fellow educators and is always ready to work together to find a better way to help students learn. Sometimes during meetings, we can fall into the trap of going through certain routine motions and we don’t step back and ask the tough questions about whether our actions are truly going to improve the student’s learning. Mrs. Joos helps teacher groups do this by listening to what we are saying- and the direction we are heading – and then she helps us ask how this direction

 will specifically impact students learning? How do we know it will help students who don’t get it? Then she tries to think of examples from her class of how our current approach has worked or not worked so we have something concrete to discuss. Mrs. Joos helps her fellow educators by making sure our time and effort actually achieve an improvement.  Mrs. Joos is a wonderful mentor who goes out of her way to help others. She will drop what she is doing to assist in any way she can. She loves to collaborate and share her ideas/supplies to help better the learning environment for all students in every classroom. She cares deeply about each and every student and their success.”

Butterfield Canyon First Graders Visit the State Senate

Posted on March 7, 2018

First grade students from Butterfield Canyon Elementary School recently visited the Utah State Capitol and the state Senate chamber.

Students met with District 13 State Senator Jacob Anderegg, whose district includes Butterfield Canyon Elementary. They have been studying the importance of rules and laws, so the field trip was a great way to show the students how laws are made and who represents them.

They were even introduced from the Senate floor and received a round of applause!

About Me – Sherry Sutton

It is an honor and privilege to join Butterfield Canyon Elementary School.

After graduating from Radford University in Virginia with a degree in Elementary Education, I spent most of my adult life in El Paso, TX. There, I raised three amazing children and worked for the El Paso Independent School District for 25 years, teaching kindergarten through sixth grade, and finally technology.

About a year ago, I moved to Salt Lake to be closer to two of my children and three—soon to be four—grandchildren.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending as much time as possible with them, traveling, photography and mountain biking.

I am looking forward to this opportunity and very excited to be a Bobcat!
