 Inclusive Playground
(inˈklo͞osiv ˈplāˌground): a place where every child's courage and
kindness is recognized, regardless of their abilities, and ALL students
have an opportunity to enjoy PLAYING, LEARNING, and GROWING together.
Utsalady
Elementary and it's Booster Club have been working on making the dream
of a playground accessible to ALL of our students for over 5 years.
Last fall, we won $15,000 in Inclusive Playground Equipment from LSI
Playground Company (YEAH!). A 2 bay swing set with 2 ADA swings and 2
regular swings, an Omni Spinner (sort of Merry-go-round with headrests),
and a Sensory Wall are the 3 pieces of equipment we were able to
acquire through the essay contest.
We are responsible for all of the costs
of surfacing and installation. In public playground projects, there are
many ADA and IPEMA requirements we must abide by and they incur costs
that are daunting. Additionally, we worry about kids in wheelchairs
spinning their wheels in the wood-chips and staff hurting their backs
pushing kids through the same material. For that reason, we have made
it a priority that this playground should have handicap accessible tiles
around the equipment essential to our kids with mobility issues. That
is where we need your help! Each rubberized tile costs $22.50 and we
need 404 of them total to do ALL that we want to do (approx. half the
playground surface). Time to put on your sweet smiles and ask your
supporters to give to this very special cause!

 We have created a survey and ask your assistance in providing feedback to help us better our partnership with you. As a part of our quest for continuous improvement, we are soliciting your perception of your school’s engagement and responsiveness to your interests and concerns about your child’s education.
Parent Survey
Results of the survey will be analyzed by school staff to determine areas where we can improve. Results will be published in each school’s annual performance report
Thank you, in advance, for your participation.

Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is an innovative
program aimed at increasing male involvement in schools across the county. Organized by the National Center for
Fathering, this program gives schools the structure to bring fathers and father
figures (grand dads, uncles, etc.) into the building to provide positive male
role models for the students and to enhance school safety.
Utsalady Elementary School is proud to be starting the Watch D.O.G.S. program this year as a Watch D.O.G. friendly school. Contact Marcus Bresko at

Utsalady was visited by the Taproot Theater Group! Taproot preformed one of their Bullying Prevention plays called "Wild Wes"
Giddy-up! A new Ranger’s in town and ready to start at a new school. Wes
has an imagination as big as a Texas prairie, but when his family moves
from the Wild West to the Northwest, he crosses paths with Lily L’Amour
who is “tougher and meaner than a rattlesnake with a sunburn.” Will Wes
be able to face the bullying and make new friends? Or will he lose his
territory and spend recess in hiding for the rest of the year?
Education Goals:
- Bullying Prevention
- Recognize, Refuse, Report
- How to be an Ally
- Forming Friendships
