SFJHS Parents and Guardians,

As directed by Nebo School District in accordance with the State of Utah, SFJHS will dismiss beginning March 16, 2020 for two weeks. We will begin At Home Instruction on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. As public educators, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide a well-rounded education to our students and we know you want this for your children as well. We are committed to proactively provide quality instruction during this period of time. 

As directed by the State of Utah, all public schools in Utah will dismiss beginning Monday, March 16, 2020, for two weeks in response to COVID-19. This is a proactive measure.

CONTINUED LEARNING
School “dismissal” means that Nebo employees will continue to be in the schools providing learning for students through online instruction and/or educational packets to continue student learning. Further communication about devices and materials will come from your school.

Spring Captains Academy was a success!  Greg Nelson and Paden O Neal were able to attend and learn great lessons from some outstanding speakers.  They now have the opportunity to pass those messages along to their teammates.  We wish them both luck in their sports this spring!

As a school we always focus on prevention of illness thorughout the school year. We are  conscious of the COVID 19 issues and are focusing on good hygeine. Please see the attached informational flyers in Spanish and English. Also, see the district website for up-to-date information. 

Fact Sheet in English

The district has determined that Friday, March 20 will be the make-up day for the Snow Day. We will be on an early out (Monday) schedule since the Snow Day occurred on a Monday. 

SFJHS BAND PLAYS IT UP!

For the past two days, Mrs. Mendosa’s seventh grade science class has been dissecting frogs.

 The first day each class looked at the mouth, and students had lots of comments:

 I asked Cael Cabreros from 2nd period, what he liked about the dissections.  “It was fun, and also it was educational,” he said.

 When I asked Dallin Rust, from 6th period, what he did not like about the activity, he commented, “Taking out the tongue because it was rough and slimy.''
