Dear Parents,

Hello, this is Alesha LeMmon. I am the assistant principal and I will be sending newsletters out this year to keep you informed. We hope you have had the opportunity to go online and register your student. If not, please take time to complete this process as soon as possible so everything will be ready for your student to hit the ground running at SFJHS this year. If you have scheduling concerns, counselors will be available this week from 1:00pm through 2:30pm Wednesday, 9:00am-2:30pm Thursday, and 9:00am-11:30am on Friday. A $5.00 class change fee will be charged except for incomplete schedules. Our school counselors will handle all schedule changes. Please note that not all schedule changes can be accommodated due to the number and times of sections offered as well as class size concerns.

Attention ALL 7th Grade Parents/Guardians: As of today there are 124-7th graders, 7-8th graders and 3-9th graders who have not completed and turned in their immunizations. Your student will not be able to attend school without having the required vaccination information on file. Parents are asked to hand deliver, mail, email, or fax in a copy of the immunization document from the Health Department or doctor’s office as proof of required vaccinations. Our fax number is 801-798-4097 or you can email our school nurse at Aubrey.jolley [at] nebo.edu (Aubrey[dot]jolley[at]nebo[dot]edu)

9th Graders: We have a shortage of lockers for around 15 of our 9th grade students. If you plan to share with a friend or would like to, talk to Mrs. Hales or Ms. Nielson in counseling.

IT’S ALMOST GOLF SEASON! Golf is a co-ed team sport in junior high and ALL students are invited to try out. Golf tryouts will be after school on Thursday, August 24th with Coach Hansen. Come to the office to pick up an information packet and remember, a physical is required prior to participating.
