Welcome back to Wasatch Jr. High. We are excited to be back! The next few emails will be filled with information and requests, so please read all the way through them. If you have friends and neighbors that did not receive this email, please have them contact the school so we can get that fixed. We are disappointed when students and parents miss out on important, fun or exciting information.

We know that many of you have already paid your fees and got an email with your schedule.

WASATCH SCHOOL MUSICAL
Matilda Jr. is this year’s musical- we are so excited because this is a fun, yet challenging musical and we know your students are up to the task! The performances are Dec. 8-10, 2022, so we are having auditions the second week of school! Please go to our fine arts website https://wjhtheatre.weebly.com/ for information on what your student will need to do to prepare. Thank you for the continued support of the arts and see your students at auditions!
PTSA
We have a lot of great activities planned for our students and will be offering our undying support to the teachers and staff. Please consider joining PTSA. It’s an opportunity for you and your students to get involved in strengthening our school. Even if you don’t have time to volunteer, your memberships have a lot of power. PTA is actively involved in lobbying for any and all legislation that benefits students and teachers. PTA was instrumental in passing the legislation that gave teachers and staff their recent raise. Your numbers really do count! Also, if you are in a position to donate to our school PTSA, please be generous. Our funds are down because of Covid and we can use any all support that you’re able to give. Lastly, check out the new school logo wear that we will be offering this year, they turned out awesome and it’s a great way to show our school spirit. Click on the link that’s provided to Memberhub to sign up, donate and buy a school T-shirt or hoodie! Or join on the school store website.
