Hello Parents,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our 1st Term Parent Teacher Conferences.  We look forward to having everyone come out and meet with teachers.  If you have forgotten your time you are welcome to go back into Sign Up Genius and see your time or call the office and we can give you your time.  The teachers will be on a very tight schedule.  Please respect that time.  If you need to visit longer with the teacher than the allotted time, please schedule another time that you and the teacher can meet to have a deeper conversation.

Superintendent Nielsen Visits Taylor!

Submitted by courtney.corbin on Wed, 10/04/2017 - 17:41

Students at Taylor were delighted to have Superintendent Rick Nielsen visit the school! Mr. Nielsen visted each of the classrooms in the building and spent time talking to students and teachers about their day!  Students were able to share with Mr. Nielsen what books they were reading, what stories they were typing and what their teacher was teaching in class.  This is always a neat time for Taylor Tigers to know that they are important and cared about, by everyone in Nebo School District.  

Thank you for spending your day as part of our Taylor family!
