Meet Mrs. Tovar!
Hello! I am thrilled to get to know you and your families very soon! This year is going to be crazy fun. This school year will be my fourth year teaching 4th grade! In my opinion, 4th grade is the BEST grade.
I grew up in a small town in Texas called Vidor. Growing up I loved to go 4-wheeling and spend time with my other 4 siblings. I moved to Utah 5 years ago, and will never leave. I truly love it here!
I have been married to my best friend for 4 years. My husband's name is Daniel and we are expecting our first Baby Boy. We are very excited and are looking forward to his arrival in January!

Hello Students & Parents!
This week begins a brand new school year for all of us and we are so excited to be able to welcome you to the fourth grade and to our classroom! This year, you will have two teachers in your classroom. Mrs. Tovar will teach in the morning, and Mrs. Clayton will teach in the afternoon. Two teachers means twice the love and twice the fun!
While this school year is going to be a little unconventional and different, We are confident that our classroom will be a place of safety and learning for your student.
The following pages are goals and expectations for our class as well as information regarding you and your student so that we can become better acquainted. If you need to contact either of us, we would prefer email or a text through the Remind App if possible, however, you are welcome to call the school and leave a message (801-567-8950). We will return your call as quickly as we can. Mrs. Tovar's email address is mckenzie.tovar@jordandistrict.org. Mrs. Tovar will be teaching your student every morning. Mrs. Clayton's email address is jessica.clayton@jordandistrict.org. Mrs. Clayton will be teaching your student every afternoon. You are welcome to email one of us, or both of us with questions or concerns. We will check our emails each day, so you will receive a response within 24 hours, if not sooner.
We are looking forward to a great year with your student! Thank you for supporting your child in their growth and learning this year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Clayton & Mrs. Tovar

Throughout the past few years there has been a lot of research done on the effectiveness of homework in elementary schools. Through research synthesized by John Hattie, a researcher from the University of Melbourne, he found that homework’s effectiveness at the elementary school level has a limited effect on student’s growth. For this reason, I have decided to only send home reading homework. I am glad to share the research if you have any questions.
Reading Homework
I will send home a calendar the first week of school to keep track of your child’s reading minutes. Because your child will only be required to read each week, I expect them to read five days a week for a minimum of 20 minutes. Students may read anything to receive their reading minutes (e.g. magazine, novel, short stories, etc.) Please sign on the line at the end of every week and return the calendar inside your student’s homework folder every Thursday.
