At SFJHS, we believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and the key to personal growth is embracing the idea that learning never truly ends. When we stop seeking knowledge, we stop evolving, and without constant growth, we risk limiting our potential.

Thursday:Parent Teacher Conferences 3:30pm-7pm in teachers individual classrooms

PTA Dinner for Parent Teacher Conference February 13th:

We will be ordering the same thing we did last year- Hoagie Sandwiches. But the funny part is that (Well, besides the meeting being the day before Monthly Munchies which also needs volunteers.) Is that LAST YEAR when we served Hoagies we had leftovers... just like we do every year, and well, normally we put the leftovers in the fridge and leave a friendly note to teachers that they can have the leftovers. (We leave leftovers during Teacher Appreciation Week too, speaking of which, I need volunteers for Teacher Appreciation Week which isn't until May 5-9, but starting early is always a wonderful thing.)

But the funny part was that last year, the leftovers were in the fridge and there were A LOT of leftovers, like almost enough to serve the entire school. (Oh yeah, Fundraiser Week for the entire school is coming up March 17-21, just get ready for that.) Anyway, the principal announced "Hey Teachers, leftovers are in the fridge come- get them." But 10 minutes later when a teacher arrived... the entire stash of sandwiches was gone! So, he checked the cameras!

SheTech Explorer Day is a hands-on tech conference for girls. This day-long event includes hands-on workshops in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our ultimate goal is to expose girls to technology in a fun atmosphere while they meet STEM role models to learn more about opportunities in those fields. Girls who attend will have access to internships, receive a SheTech certificate, access pathway information, and become part of a community that provides girls opportunities in STEM.

This year, SheTech Explorer Day will be held on Tuesday, Feb 25. Female students can get permission slips and more information from math or science teachers, and return their forms ASAP to math/science teachers. There is no fee, but spots are limited. Hurry up and snag your spot now! Permission slips must be returned by February 18, but we will close registration as soon as we reach the limit for our buses. Come see Mrs. Jorgenson or Mrs. Sorensen with any questions, and join us for SheTech!

Just a few attendance reminders:

If you’re leaving school, your parent or guardian will need to check you out at the front office. Remember if you leave campus WITHOUT properly checking out you will be marked as a sluff.

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

On Monday, our Intramural Dodgeball Champions may be determined. Come cheer on the last two teams in each lunch as the Battle Royal ensues!
