2025-2026 Battle of the Books
The Battle of the Books is a district-wide reading challenge. Students (grades 4-6) who read at least 5 out of the 20 books will be able to participate in the school Battle of the Books competition in February 2026. Students will compete individually by answering multiple choice questions about the 20 assigned books. The more books you read, the better you'll do! The top four school winners will represent Wasatch, competing as a team during the district Battle of the Books in March 2026.
The Battle of the Books is a competition, but most importantly, it creates excitement about high quality children's literature. There are a variety of books, so everyone will find something that they like. The books can be found in the Elementary Battle of the Books collection on Sora. They are also available for checkout in our library. Happy Reading Wasatch STARS!

With this new year comes new login information an a few new processes. To help make things a little smoother, here are few videos to help you log on and create a parent portal account. This account will be helpful and necessary this year as your students learn from home. From the Parent Portal you will be able to reset your child’s password. Before you get started, search through your email for the phrase “Access ID” or “Student PIN” and save this information as it will come in handy later.
