Hello BJH Family

This week, City Creek Construction has begun a massive project to replace very old windows and doors. We are so fortunate to be able to work with City Creek and for the district to support this much needed project. At the same time, during the course of the project, as classrooms/spaces are being worked on, we will need to make temporary changes to meeting places. We will keep teachers and students updated and will improvise, adapt, and overcome, as needed.

For the safety of all, please talk to your student about staying away from the areas that are under construction. THANK YOU in advance!

Thanks to the generous donors that make this grant possible through the Davis Education Foundation, we will be able to restore and refresh musical instruments for our band program.

If your student comes to school with a bike, scooter, or other cool gadget or gizmo, please provide them a way to properly lock it up. While we will certainly try and help resolve a theft issue in conjunction with our school resource officer, it is best to prevent theft from happening in the first place by properly locking up the item.

In short, students are crossing 400 North to go to FiiZ and are not using the crosswalk. This is mostly occurring before and after school. Because this is a closed campus, students should not be going to FiiZ during lunch (or during class of course). Please talk with your student and let them know they need to use the crosswalk for their own safety and well-being. We would hate for an accident to happen.

Our school resource officer and the Bountiful Police Department are aware of this and will work with you and your student as needed.

Teachers cannot compete with friends or cell phones. They are just too fun and interesting, right?

To eliminate the competition with friends, teachers have been using seating charts for decades. You most likely remember that from when you were a student. Cell phones seem to be a bit more controversial these days but I think we can all agree that cell phones are a distraction (and not just for students in school), so for teachers to be successful, that distraction also needs to be addressed.

If you have chosen to provide your student with a cell phone and allow them to take it to school, please check out our cell phone policy (put in place last year) in our handbook: https://bountifuljr.davis.k12.ut.us/o/bjh/page/handbook. This is in place because we want your student to be successful. Please help and support us as we help students stay engaged in the learning process.

Please go to our handbook and read the dress code with your student: https://bountifuljr.davis.k12.ut.us/o/bjh/page/handbook. In an effort to make this the best possible learning environment, we are relying heavily on parents and guardians to monitor what your student wears to school.

2. Get familiar with and check out the athletics page on our school website: https://www.davis.k12.ut.us/o/bjh/page/athletics. This will allow you to see sport specific information as well as general information to help you get started (e.g. Register My Athlete). Our Activity Fee Disclosures will help you see the costs involved in participating in a sport and the breakdown of those costs.

3. All students wanting to tryout for a sport must have an account set up in Register My Athlete -https://www.registermyathlete.com/.

4. All Register My Athlete information must be complete (excluding a birth certificate and fees which will be paid at the school or in MyDSD) prior to trying out for a team. Do not delay in getting this done, especially the physical.

Academic Coaches are available to help your student on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in the library from 3:00pm to 4:00pm on days that school is in session with students.

Teachers are available to help your student on Wednesdays in their classrooms from 9:00am to 10:00am on days that school is in session with students.

We are fortunate to have a teen center to support students with basic necessities. If your student could benefit from this, please have them check it out (the teen center is located in north side of the library).
