Communication is critical for a successful year at Lone Peak Elementary. Here are some ways to keep up-to-date on what is going on here at school.
Canyons District Communications Platforms:
ParentSquare, Peachjar & Skyward Family Access
- ParentSquare (Communication)
Parent Square is the district-wide app that allows all schools and parents to communicate. All guardians should download the app directly from the Google or Apple store. Make sure to register using the email address in Skyward. If you choose to allow texts, this will ensure quick communication between yourself and the people within the school.
To watch a video overview of the platform and additional resources, visit the Parent Square page. - Peachjar (Advertisements/Announcements)
To avoid paper waste, Canyons District uses Peachjar to send out approved advertisements and announcements. These emails will come through as “Lone Peak Elementary School – Announcement.” - Skyward Family Access (Student Information)
Skyward is the online grading program used by teachers in Canyons School District. All students and parents/guardians can view student information, look at grades and assignment scores, check attendance and other useful features using this program.
Visit the Skyward page to learn more about its features and how to access the platform.
Cell Phones/Smart Watches
Student cell phones and smart watches must be turned off or in school mode during school hours. Parents should communicate with the school and not text or call their students during school hours. Otherwise, this creates issues with communication and safety.
Delivering Items and Messages
Classroom instruction time is protected and interruptions cause disruptions to learning. If you need to get items to your student, you can drop them off at the office and we will deliver them to classrooms.
If you need to get a message to your student, you can call the office and we will take down the message. All messages are called into classrooms 10 minutes before school ends so that students do not forget.
Principal Meetings
Please address any concerns with the classroom teacher prior to reaching out to the principal. If you have an urgent issue that needs to be addressed immediately, please call the front office for assistance. You may reach Mr. DeMill by phone or email at shad.demill@canyonsdistrict.org.
Principal Monthly Communication
Once a month, you will receive a ParentSquare from Mr. DeMill. It will inform you of the great things happening at Lone Peak Elementary, as well as important information

Teacher Communication
ParentSquare is the primary method to contact teachers. The faculty at Lone Peak is always open to input and encourages you to schedule an appointment with the teacher whenever you have ideas or concerns. While it is not always possible to respond immediately, teachers do their best to respond within two school days. At all times, parents need to have a confirmed appointment, enter through the office, complete the electronic check-in, and visibly wear the volunteer or visitor sticker.
Each teacher will send a weekly or bi-weekly notice to parents/guardians, usually via ParentSquare. This communication will inform you of academic objectives, special activities, and other important classroom news. Make sure to also check your child’s backpack daily.
Transportation Changes
If there are any changes to transportation, parents should call the office at least 20 minutes before school is out. Make sure you have a clear communication plan with your students about drop-off/pick-up locations. Play dates must be arranged outside of school and students eligible for a bus may only ride their assigned bus. School directories will be available for purchase shortly after school starts.
