Parent Guides

The state has released some great parent guides for families of students of all ages. I have attached a few to this email for you to check out. I will send out a few with each Principal's Communication. If you would like any ones emailed to you please contact your building principal.

Re-Enrollment

It is time to re-enroll your student(s) for the next school year.


To start re-enrollment, go to:
https://ogdenprep.usoe-dcs.org/Students/Register/Start

If you do not remember your username and password for your Aspire account, or would like assistance with registration, please contact the front office. 801.627.2066


Students must be re-enrolled by January 27th to guarantee their spot for the 2023-2024 school year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have a sibling or an incoming kindergartener that doesn’t currently attend our school and you would like them to, please enroll them in the lottery. Contact Mrs. Reisen at breisen@ogdenprep.org if you have questions about the lottery. Our first lottery drawing for kindergarten will be March 1st.

Science Fair 2023

It is Science Fair time at Ogden Preparatory Academy Junior High and we (desperately) need your help judging our science fair exhibits. If you are interested in (or not vehemently opposed to) being a science fair judge, please let me know.

The fair is March 1 (Wednesday) from 8 a.m. to about noon in the junior high gym, located at 1435 Lincoln Ave in Ogden. Please come help us. We promise a great experience interacting with sincere young scientists (7-9 graders) who are much more frightened of you than you are of them! We will also feed you a delicious breakfast. If you can help out, please let Mrs. Hislop know. thislop@ogdenprep.org or 801-388-9631 (text please).

Thank you so much,
Teresa Hislop

P.S. We are also looking for prizes for our young participants. If you have "stuff" (pens, hats, gift cards, shirts, bling, etc....) that you can contribute for prizes, please let me know. We sincerely need and appreciate prizes as well.

Partnering with your Child's Teacher

Productive relationships between parents and teachers are essential to learning. You can facilitate development of a respectful relationship with your child's teacher(s) by:

  • Introducing yourself
  • Sharing anything that would be important to consider when planning for your child's learning experiences (for example: strengths, areas for growth, goals, etc.)
  • Attending Family Conferences and identifying ways you can support your child's learning
  • Asking your child about what they a re learning and reinforcing their learning at home by maintaining focus on the learning process rather than on outcomes and celebrating both successes and failures
  • Acknowledging the positive contributions of educators on your child's development, growth, and learning

Fee Schedule

Please take the time to review the attached fee schedule for next school year. The school board will be approving it at their next board meeting on Thursday, February 9 at 4:30 in the Junior High library. If you have any questions you may email Debbie Deem, ddeem@ogdenprep.org. Thank you!
