Dear Parents and Students,
Congratulations to the boys basketball team as they were crowned Granite School District Champions with an undefeated season! When we come back on January 3, all students will go directly to their advisory class to receive their new schedule for 2nd semester. After getting their schedule they will go to their new 1st period class.
OLYMPUS JR. OPEN HOUSE
On January 10th 6-8pm, Olympus Jr. High will be holding an open house for all new incoming students for the 2024-25 school year. This night is an opportunity to meet the teachers,counselors and administration, tour the school, see the clubs and performing opportunities for students at OJH. If you have a 5th grader or know someone accepted on open enrollment permit, or thinking about coming to OJH, please let them know about this night!
CCA SUPERDAY
All 8th grade students in “good standing” will attend the Super CCA Day at Olympus HS on January 17th to learn more about career pathways and their career and technical student organizations (clubs). All 8th graders will eat lunch before the field trip and will load on the busses at 11:30am. Students will return to school at 2pm. **Good standing will be determined by grades, citizenship, behavior, referrals, teacher’s or administrator’s discretion, etc.
Field trip permission forms will be handed out after the holiday break, and will need them returned by Wednesday, January 10th.
We will need 15-20 parent volunteers to help us on this field trip, so if you can help, please look for the digital sign-up for parent volunteers from the PTA in January.

Do you want a yearbook? Now is the time to order one. Due to the new Focus program we are really behind in yearbook orders. Olympus Jr. is required to submit a number to the publisher soon. If you would like to purchase one, please contact the front office or send $20 with your student to order one.
OPEN ENROLLMENT
The Open Enrollment window is open from Nov. 15 till Feb. 2 @ 3pm. The process for this is on-line. The link to Open Enrollment form: https://www.graniteschools.org/psp/open-enrollment/
Please let your friends and neighbors know as this date has changed and we would love to have more of your friends and neighbors come to our school next year.
