Alpine School District shared an update this week on a new elementary school under construction west of Cedar Valley High School in the Pinnacles at Eagle Mountain development, scheduled to open this August. The school is designed to serve more than 800 students, helping relieve crowding at nearby schools as Eagle Mountain continues to grow.

The district hasn't announced a final name yet, and boundary and enrollment details are still being finalized. Families in nearby neighborhoods should watch for boundary maps and registration details from ASD in the coming months. ASD news website here.

I’m pretty sure many of you, like me, got a letter from the Utah Lt. Governor's office about changes to your voter registration privacy protections. I had questions about it too, so I spent some time digging into what's actually happening. Here's what I found.

During the 2026 legislative session, Utah passed a law called SB 153 that changes how voter registration records are classified. Starting May 25, 2026, most voter registration records will become publicly available by default. That includes your name, home address, voter ID number, party affiliation, and voting participation history.

Your Social Security number, full date of birth, and driver's license number are not affected. Those stay private for all voters under the new law.

Previously, any Utah voter could opt into broad privacy protections, and more than 300,000 voters statewide had done so. SB 153 replaces that broad opt-out with a narrower "at-risk" designation. To qualify, you need to meet specific criteria: domestic violence survivors, law enforcement officers, active military, individuals protected by a court order, or public figures who have received documented threats.

If you think you qualify for at-risk status, you can apply through the Utah County Clerk's office. The application process is open now, ahead of the May 25 effective date.

You can learn more about your voter registration status at vote.utah.gov, and the new election amendments law here. If you have concerns about this change, your state legislators are the right people to hear from. You can find yours using the state's address lookup tool. Just put in your zip code, click on the highlighted area in the map, and your representatives will be shown. (See screenshots below)

The Nest Collective Grand Opening

Anna Beagley is opening a creative space in Eagle Mountain for crafters, makers, and anyone who wants a spot to work on projects.

Stop by to say hi, see the space, and meet a neighbor starting something new.

I saw a bunch of people asking on the Eagle Mountain Citizens Facebook group about swimming lessons, and I know how tough it can be to find options close to home. Eagle Mountain doesn't have a city-owned year-round pool or aquatics center, so most families end up looking at programs in Saratoga Springs, Lehi, American Fork, or Herriman. Here are some options worth checking out.

Availability and pricing change by season, so check directly with each provider for the latest info.

The city's grazing goats returned for their 2026 season. The herd rotates through detention ponds, trail corridors, and native open spaces from spring through early fall, munching down noxious weeds and helping reduce wildfire fuel. There's no public stop-by-stop schedule, but if you spot them on a walk, that's the program at work. As a friendly reminder, city officials ask residents not to feed or touch the goats and to keep kids, dogs, and themselves back from the electric fencing while the herd works.
