At SFJHS, finding your own voice means embracing confidence and positivity—just like this week’s quote reminds us, when we focus on growth and opportunity (keeping our face toward the sunshine), doubts and fears (the shadows) fade behind us, allowing us to move forward with purpose.

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

Our upcoming intramural is nothing short than amazing! Start thinking of your teams!

3V3 Intramurals will start soon for March Madness.

With one BIG incentive. The winners of the tournaments for each lunch get to take the time to try and take down the big three- Mr. Naulu, Ms. Larsen, and Mr. Parrish.

Bring it on and see who's ready to battle to the end.

DoorDash is convenient, but is NOT approved on campus. Orders will begin being sent away as it is too hard to keep track of who's order is who's. To easily change this issue, we are going back to the original approach of NO DOOR DASH deliveries to the front of the office. We appreciate your help in this matter.

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!
