Dear Parents and Students:
SCHOOL COMMUNTIY COUNCIL ELECTIONS:
We are currently accepting Declaration of Candidacy forms for our School Community Council. We have 4 open positions this year. We would love for you to get involved. Here is the Declaration of Candidacy form. The due date is August 30th by 3:00pm. The role of the Council is to appropriate Land Trust Funds, assist with the school improvement plan and many other vital issues. We meet on the first Thursday of each month at 6:45am for an hour. Please come get involved in an important aspect of Wasatch Jr. High.
TRADING POST
At Wasatch as part of our positive behavior support program we have a “Trading Post”. Students receive “Wampum” currency for positive behaviors and are able to use it at the Trading Post. If you would like to donate to the Trading Post, we have a donation list at Amazon.com. Here is the link if you would like to participate: Wasatch Donation List https://a.co/1Yn4YK2
LUNCH ROOM
We are now serving breakfast from 7:15-7:40am everyday. The cost is $1.05. Remember to pay for breakfast and lunch through PayPams.
Drop off/Pick up Simulation Video
In an attempt to help ease traffic issues and incorporating buses into the mix, we have created a video to help educate parents, students and staff. Please watch this video on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoHVZrgissSJcclyp5voP0A Administration and police will be out helping to direct traffic the first few days, but we could use your help in slowing down, being watchful, safe and considerate of others. Remember we are trying to have 3100 east be a one way street (going north to south) during drop off and pick up times. This will help with safety and efficiency.
SOCCER
Boys and Girls soccer is beginning on Monday, August 29 @ 3pm. Speak with Mr. Dougherty (Boys) or Mr. Crookston (Girls) for more information.
