LOST AND FOUND
Missing a coat, water bottle or hoodie? Be sure to check the lost and found, it is currently brimming full of items. It will be cleaned out and donated to Goodwill after December 20th.
STUDENT COMPUTER ACCESS WHILE TRAVELING?
If you will be traveling outside the state of Utah during this holiday season and your student will be using any school issued accounts, you will need to turn in a request for a Travel Exemption. These must be turned in at least 48 hours prior to your travel and 48 hours prior to any school vacation. This will help to avoid any locked accounts.
This can be done by filling out this form:https://forms.gle/PUXQt6L2JT4YphyA7
We will need the following information: Dates of Travel, Location of Travel, Student Full Name and Student Number
