At SFJHS, we believe that your attitude is the foundation of your success. A positive mindset opens doors to new opportunities, helps you overcome challenges, and inspires those around you to do the same. With the right attitude, there’s no limit to how far you can go!

This week we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week with the following theme days:

Monday- Pajama Day

Tuesday- Rhyme without Reason

Wednesday- Wear Pink

Thursday- Dress in your Halloween Costume

Friday- Sports Gear

For Halloween, here are our specific guidelines:

To help us keep our school safe, students need to be recognizable. Students are NOT allowed to wear face or body paint, they may however wear makeup that goes with their costume, but it should not hide their identity. NO MASKS are allowed to be worn at school at ANY time. Costumes cannot distract from learning in classrooms (big blow-up costumes or other costume accessories that will be distracting). Please make sure the costumes follow the district dress code as well as the safe school guidelines to avoid costumes that contain weapons or facsimiles of weapons.

Hey Parents, Teachers and Students! Support your school by eating at Zupas! October 29th from 4-9pm a portion of the proceeds from that day will come back to your school. When you order let them know it is for SFJHS. Online orders are accepted through cafezupas.com, make sure you select SFJHS.

Anybody interested in wrestling this year, there is an informational meeting on Wednesday, October 30 at 3:00 in the wrestling room at SFJHS. Whether you are new to wrestling or very experienced, 8th grade or 9th grade, planning to wrestle for the junior high or the high school, boy or girl, come to the meeting for answers and good information!

Just a few attendance reminders:

If you’re leaving school, your parent or guardian will need to check you out at the front office.

If your smiling face never makes it school, please remember to have a parent or guardian call and excuse your absence within two days.

Missing or being tardy to class can prevent you from participating in school activities like school dances, end of term rewards, and Lagoon at the end of the school year.

One Tardy = 15 Minutes of Detention

One Sluff (skipping class) = 45 Minutes of Detention

3 Hours of Detention = No School Activities

School Fees School fees may be paid online at My School Fees. Other items, such as the Chromebook Protection Plan and yearbooks, can also be paid through My School Fees under “optional fees.” All credit card transactions, whether in person or online, will incur a $2 fee as directed by district finance policy.

Just a reminder now that Chromebooks have been passed out an optional Chromebook Protection Plan is available for $30. This will cover the initial cost of a lost or damaged chromebook. We encourage parents to purchase the Chromebook Protection Plan in case of loss or damage. The cost to replace a chromebook is $300. This fee will be assessed to the student in the event of a lost, stolen or damaged chromebook. The Chromebook Protection Plan can be paid for online through myschoolfees.com long with all other fees listed under “optional fees.” Additional information regarding the Chromebook Protection Plan coverage is located on our website at https://sfjhs.nebo.edu/content/parent-and-student-information. We encourage purchasing the protection plan.

Just a reminder charges are now being submitted for all students who had not filled out a free and reduced lunch form for this school year. Thank you!

Students: Do you have second lunch and do you enjoy helping and serving others? Then come be a Student Lunch worker!! You’ll get a FREE LUNCH on the same day you work. Just come to the kitchen door in the cafeteria at the start of your lunch and we'll happily put you to work. We have plenty of help for first lunch, but could really use more help for second lunch. Thanks!
