At SFJHS, we believe in helping you find your voice and empowering you to bloom where you are planted. We believe that through growth comes empowerment to make your mark on the world.

We are being asked to start looking at school fees. Please start looking to see if any fees are due for your student. With Lagoon, and yearbook distribution coming up we would like to get all fees taken care of before those events occur so your students can participate! 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 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

Detention will be served on a student's OWN time by working with one of THEIR teachers before or after school.

• Unserved detention will result in further disciplinary action and loss of privileges for other school activities.
• Students will not be allowed to attend the Lagoon field trip ir receive their yearbook during early yearbook distribution if they owe detention.
• Other consequences may include: Not being eligible for participation in extracurricular activities. This includes: athletics, field trips, dances etc.
• It is the responsibility of the student to make up any detention that would disqualify them from school activities.

Congratulations to our students of the month for April to the following students recognized by the Social Studies Department:

Owen Fry, Samantha Scott, Seth Carlson, Alexis Henricksen, Felipe A Forero Aroni, May V Bergen-Leiva, Nyle Carter, Oakley Hatch, Gabriel Enriquez Flores, Landon Nuttall, Ethan Nugen, Danlee Jarvis

Practice will be held every weekday from 3-4pm at the tennis courts! We can't wait to see you there.

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!

You can find all the details on the contest webpage: https://byuhspc.org/2025/. They have extended the registration deadline until April 9th to accommodate schools/districts who have Spring Break this coming week. We encourage schools and districts to explore shared bussing of students if that would enable others to participate.

This is the 4th year that BYU has held the contest and every year the students both learn a lot and have lots of fun! There will be t-shirts, prizes and lunch provided!

The AP with WE service provides opportunities and resources to encourage service learning in your classroom. For more information talk with Ms. Terry.
