Fecha: Jueves, 9 de enero de 2025

Lugar: Little Theater (teatro), Spanish Fork Junior High

Únase a nosotros para una noche especial donde compartiremos información importante sobre el sistema escolar y las políticas del distrito, incluyendo calificaciones, asistencia y más. La reunión será presentada completamente en español por maestros hispanohablantes de nuestra escuela, y estaremos encantados de responder cualquier pregunta que puedan tener.

Comenzaremos la noche con una comida compartida, así que traiga un platillo para compartir si lo desea. También habrá entretenimiento, premios y un sorteo de tarjetas de regalo.

No se pierda esta oportunidad de conectarse con nuestra comunidad escolar y aprender información valiosa para apoyar el éxito de su estudiante. ¡Esperamos verlos allí!

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

Christmas Deal- IF you find the Elf, take a selfie with her and send it into SFJHS instagram, you will earn double detention points!!

Congratulations to Spikey Spikers for winning 1st lunch and Team Stone for winning 2nd lunch Intramural Volleyball Tournament.

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!
