Combined Choir Concert
The choir students from Salem and Spanish Fork Jr. would love to invite you to our final choir concert of the year: Do a Little Good - A Celebration of America 250! This promises to be a truly wonderful evening full of fun, meaningful, inspirational music intended to show gratitude for our Founders and those who have given (and continue to give) their lives for our country. It is also a reminder of our responsibility to America's future and how each citizen can "do a little good" and send ripples out into their home, community, state, and country.
We will have all the choirs from both schools joining together in classic rock favorites, Broadway gems, and many patriotic anthems. Please come support these wonderful students and kick-off your own America 250 Celebrations by enjoying a wonderful patriotic choir concert:
Tuesday, May 12th 7pm at Salem Hills High School
We hope to see you there!

Attendance Office Announcement
Just a few attendance reminders:
If you’re leaving school, your parent or guardian will need to check you out at the front office. Remember if you leave campus WITHOUT properly checking out you will be marked as a sluff. During 5th period and lunch time we must have a parent come into the office to physically check out their child in order to ensure only the correct students are being checked out to the right guardians. If your smiling face never makes it school, please remember to have a parent or guardian call and excuse your absence within two days.
Missing or being tardy to class can prevent you from participating in school activities like school dances, end of term rewards, and rewards at the end of the school year.
One Tardy = 15 Minutes of Detention
One Sluff (skipping class) = 45 Minutes of Detention
3 Hours of Detention = No School Activities
Detention will be served on a student's OWN time by working with one of THEIR teachers before or after school.
- Unserved detention will result in further disciplinary action and loss of privileges for other school activities.
- Other consequences may include: Not being eligible for participation in extracurricular activities. This includes: athletics, field trips, dances etc.
- It is the responsibility of the student to make up any detention that would disqualify them from school activities.
Student Of The Month
Top Golf
Top Golf is an end of year field trip for all students who qualify! Spaces are limited so sign up soon. It is required to have 0 detention hours, and all A's, B's and C's for their grades. Permission forms are in the office.
Lobo R&R
As a reminder we will be participating in our Lobo R&R this school year. With this, we encourage you to remind your student about bringing a book to read, or making sure they have something ready for R&R days on Wednesday and Friday this week. If you are needing to check out a book, English classes will be working on this from the library and would be happy to help ensure each student has reading material. We look forward to having this reset and hope this time will offer a mental recharge for all.
Track and Field
Our Lobo track team competed strong in District Championships last Friday at MMHS. Way to go Lobos! We are proud of you!

Chromebook Protection Plan
Just a reminder now that Chromebooks have been passed out an optional Chromebook Protection Plan is available for $30. This will cover the initial cost of a lost or damaged chromebook. We encourage parents to purchase the Chromebook Protection Plan in case of loss or damage. The cost to replace a chromebook is $300. This fee will be assessed to the student in the event of a lost, stolen or damaged chromebook. The Chromebook Protection Plan can be paid for online through myschoolfees.com long with all other fees listed under “optional fees.” Additional information regarding the Chromebook Protection Plan coverage is located on our website at https://sfjhs.nebo.edu/content/parent-and-student-information. We encourage purchasing the protection plan.
Front Office Reminder
DoorDash is convenient, but is NOT approved on campus. Orders will begin being sent away as it is too hard to keep track of who's order is who's. To easily change this issue, we are going back to the original approach of NO DOOR DASH deliveries to the front of the office. We appreciate your help in this matter.
Dress Code/Cell Phone Reminder
Just a friendly reminder that we will be enforcing the new cell phone policy as well as the district policy on dress code. If you could ensure this is being followed we would greatly appreciate it! We hope and greatly appreciate to have your support in these matters.

It is often characterized by speech that includes any of the following: repetitions (b-b-b-ball), prolongations (sssssssnake), or blocks (c——ar). These patterns may be accompanied by visible tension or face/body movements during stuttering moments. Kids who stutter sometimes describe feeling stuck or out of control when talking.
