Purple Star Schools for Military Families
To All Military Families
On behalf of our entire school community, welcome to Ogden School District. We are honored to serve your family.
Our District currently has three schools in applicant status for Purple Star School designation: East Ridge Elementary, Polk Elementary and Mount Ogden Junior High. However, we are pleased to welcome and support the families of military members at each of our schools.
Ogden School District is proud to works closely with families, our local military bases and the Utah State Board of Education to ensure your family is supported in understanding your rights, opportunities and resources.
We hope you will contact us to learn more and to inform us how we can best support you and your child's success. We also encourage you to contact your school’s counselor and view the school's counseling webpage to start the conversation about meeting your child's needs, both academically and socially.

The Department of Defense provides toolkits for military families that explain the rights and resources involved in the Compact on the DoD Interstate Compact webpage.
The Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3) provides information to military families that may prove useful in navigating transitions from one assignment to another, as well as resources around educational rights and resources.
