Our Fieldhouse is making steady gains. Hogan Construction will be tilting into place the next set of walls soon. We appreciate everyone’s patience with the traffic disruptions.

PTSA
KJH PTSA
Hello Kaysville Jr. High Community,
Our goal as a PTSA this year is to offer a place where KJH can be a welcoming and supportive place to be involved and have a voice. The PTSA provides a link to build community and connection between parents, teachers, and students. We want to continue helping to strengthen and enrich this great community we have here at KJH but we need your help!
· Attend our meetings (look for schedules in each week’s newsletter) and get involved. Help as little or as much as you can. Every person’s voice, unique skills, and ideas are invaluable and needed!
· Join PTSA with a PTSA membership and make a greatly appreciated donation. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
We appreciate your support in helping us continue to provide benefits to our KJH community such as:
1. Teacher dinners before parent teacher conferences
2. Monthly teacher appreciation tables
3. Custodian, counselor, administration, and many other staff appreciation weeks
4. Knight Krew
5. 9th grade celebration
6. Reflections
7. Student Safety Weeks
8. Student enrichment activities
9. And hopefully more to come!
Thank you for your generous support!
