Juniors are asked to be at the school between 7:15 to 7:45 to ensure they find their room assignments and have checked-in with the room aide or supervisor. Once done, they can check their Chromebook battery and plug-in if necessary. The test will promptly begin at 8 AM and students will not be allowed to enter the testing rooms once the test begins. Please remind your juniors to keep their cell phones, smart watches, and any other electronic devices that can connect to the internet switched off and in their cars, home, or backpacks for the duration of testing.

Aviators,

What an incredible week we have had!  Over the weekend we had two individual students receive state titles!. The girls wrestling team took 2nd place in state and we have a beautiful trophy to proudly place in our display!  Whoop whoop to our students and coaches!

This week we also have our girls and boys basketball teams playing in the state finals.  It would be wonderful to have everyone out at the games to cheer our kiddos on!  Gooooo Aviators!

1. Winter Storm Warnings Tomorrow

Please watch the weather and school district website for weather related delayed start or school closure information. With a storm heading our way, we want to make sure you are safe.

We are planning for all schools to start at the normal time. However, if an online/distance learning day is enacted, a decision will be made by approximately 5:30am and it will be posted on our Facebook page, Twitter account, and district website shortly afterward. We will also send communication via email to those who are active in our student information system. Please refer to Policy 1800 for more information.

2. Parent Teacher Community  Night Tomorrow 3:30-7:00 PM

Please see information from last week’s email.  If the weather causes a district to close school, we will reschedule our Parent Teacher Community Night for another day, but for now please plan our PTC as scheduled.  We will keep you posted if anything changes.

3. Students Password Reset

The district is working to change all student passwords in the upcoming weeks. Students will be receiving an email to change their passwords starting late Thursday afternoon. Students are welcome to start this on their own.  On Monday (2/27), we will ask all teachers to make some time during JetTime to share a brief video/training, allow students to reset their passwords and check that all students have changed their passwords successfully.

While this is a large effort, it is an opportunity to help teach students about setting passwords and the importance of protecting themselves online.

Earning college credit while in high school has some amazing perks. Whether you are interested in taking just one CE class or earning a General Education Certificate, you won’t want to miss this. No matter what you decide your goal is, UVU Concurrent Enrollment is for you.

Each session would be worth .25 credits, and students can earn up to .75 credits. These classes require mandatory attendance for the full 3 weeks so please plan accordingly.

We will also be offering a CRAM class for English, Math, Science and Social Studies. This is solely for students who failed these classes with a 50% grade or higher this school year. Students attend starting June 12th and finish the material left from their previously failed class in order to reach the passing percentage. This is different from regular makeup classes in that they don’t have to complete the whole quarter’s worth of credit, just the missing requirements. Once students reach the passing threshold they are not required to attend class after they pass the class. We hope this will help a lot of our students!

Aviators,

With mid-term around the corner Friday, February 3rd, it is so important to visit Skyward and check the progress of your student(s).

1. Future Nurses

Students who are interested in doing nursing are invited to attend our UVU Nursing Open House on February 10th. See this flier, This is a good opportunity to meet some of the UVU Nursing faculty, students who are currently in the Nursing program at UVU and see the Simulation lab on our campus.

The ACT is one of two main tests that many colleges require for admissions. How well your child scores can have an impact on what colleges they are eligible to attend and what degree programs students qualify for. Almost half of students decide to retest on the ACT because they aren’t happy with their initial scores. This is stressful and costs money. Our ACT prep course is one way to increase your child’s chances of a better score.

ACT Prep classes will begin Jan 9th from 2:30-3:30. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday in D257. Pay $25 to the finance office. If you have any questions please contact Mr. Cameron Christensen in D161. This is a great opportunity for all Juniors to prepare for the ACT March 7th.

We also offer an online class for ACT Prep. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] for more information. SHMOOP is also available to assist with ACT prep. Just go to shmoop.com/utah and use the code ASPEN.
