Con Amore School

Duchesne County School District (DCSD) wishes to inform its public that our community schools are safe. DCSD has been made aware of a generic, hoax email claiming there are explosives inside of every school. No specific school or district name was mentioned in the email. Other school districts in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming have received the same email in the past 24 hours. Officials of DCSD have been in contact with local law enforcement who will be vigilant throughout the school day. Again, at this point, DCSD has not received the hoax email or any information of its schools experiencing any reports of threats. All other known incidents in other district locations have been deemed non-credible following investigations.

Duchesne County School District will be destroying confidential special education records of students born in the year of 1996. In accordance with federal statutes, each student’s records may be considered “no longer needed to provide educational services” and may be destroyed after the student turns 27 years old. Unless otherwise requested by parents, guardians, or former students of legal age, special education records, which meet the prescribed requirements, will be destroyed after January 5, 2024. Several reasons exist for destroying these records. Most obvious is the storage problem that would be created by keeping such bulky records indefinitely. Another reason is the need to maintain confidentiality when continued existence of the outdated records serves little or no logical purpose. Finally, even for persons with legitimate interests in the student’s status, such outdated records may be potentially misleading when considering current functioning. Parents, guardians, and former students of legal age may request copies of any special education records on file. Anyone with questions regarding this policy and its implementation may contact Janalee Goodrich at 725-4500

Open Enrollment begins December 1, 2023 for students living outside of Duchesne County

November School Calendar

Nov 1, 2023 Dear Parent or Guardian, In an effort to protect the students and staff at Con Amore, we will be conducting a lockdown, evacuation and reunification drill tomorrow, November 2nd. These drills are to train our students and staff on how to handle an internal threat to our school. Our lockdown procedures were developed with the assistance of local police officials as recommended by the United States Department of Education and FEMA. While no environment is absolutely risk free, we take safety seriously at Con Amore and practice our emergency procedures each year. We feel communication with parents is important to enhance our safety efforts and want you to know about our intention to conduct these drills. We also want you to know should our school enter an actual lockdown, direct communication with parents and guardians will take place to inform you of the lockdown. Please feel free to call me at 435-725-4750 should you have any questions about this or any other safety concern. Sincerely, Mrs. Stansfield
