NEBO SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DISMISS SCHOOLS

As directed by the State of Utah, all public schools in Utah will dismiss beginning Monday, March 16, 2020, for two weeks in response to COVID-19. This is a proactive measure.

During second period, administrators, counselors, and our school resource officer made a quick visit to each class to share some information with our students and hopefully put their minds at ease.

Dear SJHS parent and guardians:

I hope that this email finds you and your family well and healthy. I attended a principals’ meeting today at the Nebo District Office where we discussed the coronavirus (COVID-19). We reviewed information about COVID-19 as well as information from local health officials. Nebo District has collected some valuable resources and information here: http://www.nebo.edu/node/3071.

Everyone is preparing for the next step of 2020 and for Springville Junior High that means the 6th grade tours. The 6th graders came on January 28th and January 31st, and the Student Council members were asked to give them a tour of our school. Coleman Jarvis, a member of the Student council,  states, “They told me to prepare to answer their questions and make them feel like home here at our school because it’s a hard transition.” The main goal of doing these tours is to introduce the 6th graders to our school and to help them to be less nervous about coming to the Junior High.

Have you ever wondered what it’s really like in yearbook class? Zoie Erikkson says, “I love that yearbook brings out the creative side in me. It’s a really fun class!” And I think everyone currently in yearbook would agree.

Brooke Constantine says, “I love that yearbook is such a chill class. It’s a good break from all my other classes.” We like to have tons of fun in yearbook class! We have at least 1 party every term to celebrate meeting deadlines, plus you get a lot of freedom to work at your own pace. 

The Utah Shakespeare Festival Touring Company will be performing Romeo and Juliet Monday evening, March 16, 2020, 7 p.m. at Springville High School. This performance is free to the public. All ninth-graders are studying Romeo and Juliet this year and will be offered extra credit in their English class for attending the performance.
