Happy Back to School Wasatch Families,
Together with our teachers, counselors, staff, and Assistant Principal, Renee DeHaan, I want to welcome our students and school community to Wasatch Junior High for an exciting new year. We hope you have had a relaxing and restful summer and have created many happy and fun memories.
This letter is to provide some basic information about the upcoming 2023-2024 school year.
If you have not already registered your child ONLINE through the FOCUS portal, please do so. You will receive your child’s schedule through this portal after you have completed all the forms and paid fees.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Classes are VERY FULL and many are at capacity. We are not able to make any class changes currently. Completing this form will allow you to be on a waitlist for requested changes if and when openings occur. Changes will only be made if there is room in the class. We will contact you if we were able to accommodate your class change request. If you do not receive a confirmation email of a class change, students must attend the classes currently listed on his/her schedule. Thank you for your patience and understanding with our process.
If you have visited Wasatch over the summer, you have noticed that we have a new entry system. This new system allows Wasatch doors to remain locked through the entire day. I am grateful for the added security to keep our students and staff safe.
A few important notes:
- You will need to ring the doorbell (button on the bottom of the camera) on the NORTH wall by the front door when you arrive.
- A staff member will welcome you and ask your purpose
- The staff member will open the door – you will hear a click and then open the door
- Please report to the front office directly after entering our school
- SCHOOL DOORS WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL 7:00 AM DAILY
