Weekly Message from Mr./Señor Bailey (Week of October 7th – 11th)

Hello Bonneville Family,

We recently celebrated a very successful Connection Week, where students engaged in activities promoting healthy interaction and lifestyles. A big thanks to our social workers, school counselors, and parent volunteers for making it a fun week for our Vikings!

I also want to recognize our fall sports coaches for Cross Country, Girls Soccer, and Boys Soccer. They’ve done a fantastic job pushing our student-athletes to new levels. We’re proud of their performance both on the field and in the classroom—way to go, Vikings!

Important Updates:

• Personal Electronic Devices Policy
  Starting Tuesday, October 15th, personal electronic devices will no longer be allowed during lunch periods. This aligns with the Granite School Board’s decision for all K-8 students, encouraging face-to-face social interaction (as referenced in The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, Ch. 5).
  • Devices should be out of sight either in backpacks, lockers or left at home.
  • If a device is seen or heard, it will be taken and held in the main office until the end of the day. Multiple violations will require a parent/guardian to pick up the device.
  • Bonneville Junior High is not liable for lost or stolen personal devices.
• Halloween Costumes
  For the first time in a while, students are allowed to wear appropriate and safe costumes to school on Thursday, October 31st. While costumes are optional, please follow these guidelines:
  • No masks, hoods, or face paint.
  • Costumes must allow for easy mobility and classroom comfort.
  • No weapons or look-alike weapons.
  • Dress code must be followed, including full coverage of genitals, buttocks, and nipples with opaque materials. See-through or mesh garments must have appropriate coverage underneath.
  • There will be no parade or costume contests.

Let’s show our maturity and creativity by keeping Halloween safe and fun!

• End of 1st Quarter
  The 1st quarter ends Wednesday, October 9th, with no school from October 10th to October 14th. School resumes Tuesday, October 15th. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable fall break!

Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community. We’re excited for the week ahead and proud of all our Vikings!

Mr./Señor Bailey
