The Seahawk Scoop

Dear Syracuse Junior High Families,

We have successfully completed our first two days of school, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping make the start of the year such a positive experience. Our students have arrived ready to learn, our teachers have done an outstanding job preparing their classrooms, and the energy throughout the building has been incredible.

We have been impressed with how quickly students have learned routines, treated each other with respect, and embraced the opportunities of a new school year. While there is always a lot to learn during the first week, our Seahawks are off to a fantastic start.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are excited for a great year ahead!

Pat Limas, Principal

Syracuse Junior High

This Wednesday (August 26) we will be having our Welcome Back assembly during "House Time". As a reminder, all Wednesday's are late start so we start school 2 hours later than normal (10:15AM). We will be on an adjusted schedule because of the assembly, so please refer to the schedule below!

Pictures will be taken during your student's Science class on either Aug. 31st or Sept. 1st. If your student does not have a Science class at our school, they can get their picture taken any time they have free while Bell Photography is here. Students will receive a student ID card when they get their picture taken. We have order forms in the office with purchase instructions. Parents are welcome to come in and grab a flyer or have your student bring one home. You can order pictures online by going to Bell Photography's website (bellphoto.com) and use our school's purchase code "SyracuseJRFall26".

Our first game of the season is this Monday (August 24th) and it's at home!!! The theme for the game is "White Out", so wear as much white clothing as possible!

If your student is interested in trying out for the Boys Basketball team, please come to the parent meeting on September 2nd at 5PM in the SJH Gym!

Effective May 2025, Utah law requires schools to obtain written parent/guardian permission before providing students with foods, snacks, or drinks during school hours that contain certain food dyes, preservatives, or additives identified in state law (see Utah Code 53G-9-205.2). If you would like to give permission for your child to receive and consume foods, snacks, and drinks provided by the school during school hours, including items that do not meet the nutrition specifications established in Utah Code 53G-9-205, please sign the permission form found in your MyDSD account under "sign documents".

WE NEED YOU! We need volunteers to serve on the PTSA board for the '26-'27 school year. If you are willing to help out, please contact Amanda Keener (our PTSA President) at amandaandsolo@yahoo.com or (801) 309-7320.
