Welcome to Overlake Elementary: 2025-2026 School Year!

Dear Overlake Students and Families,

We're dedicated to fostering both academic excellence and strong character. This means providing a challenging curriculum while instilling values that prepare students for life beyond the classroom. We believe in nurturing a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Your partnership is crucial. My door is always open for questions, suggestions, or concerns. Together, we can ensure the 2025-2026 school year is a positive, safe, and truly outstanding experience for every child at Overlake Elementary.

Sincerely,

Excusing an Absence on Skyward

To excuse a student on the app:

When parents sign up for the Skyward app, they will select a four-digit code.
Put in your four-digit code and continue to the app
Select the “hamburger button” (the triple bar or trigram symbol) on the top right.
From here you have two options, the first option (the message tab), will show you through the notification when your student was marked absent and what you need to excuse. With the attendance tab you simply submit a request.

1. Message Tab
Attendance Notification
View
Add Absent Request
OR
2. Attendance
Add Absent Request

Either of these two options will open a pop-up.
Complete the following information:
Student
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional – but very helpful, especially if you want to “excuse 2^nd hour”)
If you have more than one student and want this attendance request submitted for another student (maybe your family will be attending a funeral and all students need to be excused) then you can “Copy” the request and select additional students.
Submit

To submit a request from the website:

Tooeleschools.org
Click on the Families tab across the top
Click on Skyward for Parents
Log in
On the top right click student (if you only have one student you will just see your student’s name)
In the drop-down menu select the student’s name you need to excuse
Select Attendance in the menu on the left hand side
Click on the hyperlink at the top of the page “Absence Request.”
An “Add Request” pop-up block will open
Complete the following blocks:
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional, but once again, very helpful)
Save
Once you have “Saved” you will receive an email notification that an absence request has been submitted.
After the request has been processed, parents will receive a notification in Skyward
“(Student’s name) Absence Request has been (approved or denied)
The Absence Request submitted for (student) on (date) has been (approved or denied).
If a request is denied, a reason must be provided. It will then say “Go to your Absence Requests for further information.”

Supply Lists

Elementary Classroom Supplies and Donations

At the beginning of each year, many parents request a teacher supply list so they can furnish some items as a donation to the classroom setting. Utah law states that supplies will be provided by the school, however, in the 2012 Legislative Session it was approved for elementary schools to compile and provide a suggested list of supplies that may be brought/donated/furnished by parents on a voluntary basis that will be used in the classroom.

“Notice: The items on this list will be used during the regular school day. They may be brought from home on a voluntary basis. Otherwise, they will be furnished by the school.”

Tooele County School District appreciates all the supplies that parents choose to donate to help our students. If you are interested in donating supplies, we have created a suggested list by grade level.
