Dear SJHS parents and guardians:

It was good to see so many of you at Parent-Teacher conferences last week! Thank you for coming to meet with our teachers. If you weren’t able to attend, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teachers if you have any questions or concerns about how your child is doing in their classes.

Events for this week:

Congratulations to this week's "Be an Ally" Winners! Zander Stewart was recognized for helping a friend in class. "He is a great friend who wants him to succeed!" Anna Larsen was recognized for helping a student who was not feeling well. "What allowed Anna to do this was her regular preparation. Anna is prepared for class so that she can help in an emergency."

Thank you Zander and Anna for making our school such a great place to be!

It's hard to believe we are already nearing the end of the school year and looking ahead to next year. Students will begin learning about registration in their history classes in the next 2 weeks. They will then bring home registration papers to select the classes they will take next year. Watch for those to come home. Parents are welcome to attend the classroom presentations on Feb. 7th for 8th graders and Feb 21st for 9th graders if you want to learn more about the classes offered. Presentations will take place in US history and World history classes. If you have questions, feel free to contact the counseling department.

Tiffanie Miley was selected by her peers as Secondary Principal of the Year for 2023. Tiffanie has spent the last four years as Principal at Springville Junior High.

Upcoming events:

We want to recognize our two "Be an Ally" winners from Friday. These are students who teachers notice are demonstrating what it means to be an ally.

Noah Vallejo (right) noticed another student was struggling with an assignment and helped her along.

Thank you both for making SJHS a great place to be!
