Spartan Families,

As an exciting winter sports season is almost upon us, our athletic department is looking for an Assistant Wrestling Coach for the upcoming Winter 2026-27 season (Late October-January).

We are looking for a dependable leader who can teach wrestling fundamentals, manage team logistics, and support our amazing student-athletes.

If you are interested please apply here:

SaJHS Assistant Wrestling Coach

If you would like more details regarding the position, please contact me @ jordan.smith@nebo.edu Thank you for your time and support of Salem Junior High athletics!

Please note:

• They will only be here in the morning (8-10am FYI for partial schedule students)
• If you are getting a retake, they ask that you bring in your old pictures packet to give to the photographer.

As part of the online registration, we collected opt in and opt out permission for your child to participate or not participate in the Panorama Social Emotional Survey. If you opted your student out of the survey they will not have access to the online survey portal. In History classes, October 8th, our school will conduct this survey to better understand the well-being and school experience of our students. The survey includes questions such as:

• "If you fail to reach an important goal, how likely are you to try again?"

• "How much respect do students in your school show you?"

• "How often were you polite to other students?"

If you would like to view all the survey questions, please click the following link: Grades 6-12 Questions

We will use the feedback from this survey to support and enhance student success. As a parent, you are welcome to request a copy of your student’s responses along with skills that can improve their success.

Thank you for your ongoing support. If you have any questions or would like to opt your student out of the survey, please contact Kassidy.daley@nebo.edu by October 6th.

ALC Career Nights are a great opportunity for students (8th grade and up) and parents to hear directly from directors and professors in specific content areas at UVU and MTech. It’s a chance to learn more about programs and careers they may be interested in, ask questions, and visit with both college representatives and ALC teachers in those program areas.

Our first one will be Monday, September 28, from 6:00–7:00 p.m. We’ll have UVU here to talk about Engineering, Mechatronics/AET, Architecture, and Construction.

There is no registration required, students and parents can just show up to any Career Night that interests them.

Hope to see you there!

Due to a conflict, there will no longer be after school weights.

SaJHS is starting a Math Lab for all students who might be interested in getting extra help. The math lab will be held on the following schedule:

Monday: NONE

Tuesday: Ms. Sorensen, Room: 206, 2:45-3:45

Wednesday: Mrs. Barker, Room:107, 2:45-3:45

Thursday: Mrs. Barker, Room:107, 2:45-3:45

Friday: Mrs. Talbert, Room:205, 2:45-3:45

• Excusing Absences: All absences must be excused by a parent or guardian during the term in which the absence occurred.

• 1st Period Tardies: A parent or guardian may excuse up to five 1st period tardies per term. After a student reaches the five parent-excused tardies, they may choose to work off additional tardies with a teacher or by attending Math Lab.

• Tardies During the School Day: Parents or guardians may not excuse tardies that occur during the school day unless the student was previously checked out through the office. Students may choose to make up these tardies.

• Closed Campus: Salem Junior High is a closed-campus school. Students may not leave campus without being checked out through the office by a parent or guardian. This includes lunchtime; students may not leave campus for lunch unless they have been properly checked out through the office.

• Group Check-Outs: Due to the increased challenges and workload for teachers and staff, group check-outs are not permitted.

• Lunch-Time Check-Outs: During lunchtime, it can be difficult to locate students. To help avoid delays, please check students out a little before lunch begins or after lunch is over.

Thanks, parents and students, for helping us make attendance a little less dramatic! 💙
