February 2019

On Saturday, February 9th, our Payson Junior High Chess team completed at the Nebo School District's annual chess tournament in Springville.  Chess Club president, Skyler Ainscough, led team members Ian Billings, Max Shirts, Nathaniel Jacquart, and Zanetell Miller to an overall 4th place team win.  Team members received several honorable mention awards for their participation.  Participation in the State tournament in March is the team's next goal.  If you are interested in taking part in our chess club/team, please contact Mr.

Kindergarten Registration is Moving to Summer

Kindergarten registration, traditionally held in March, will be moved to the summer and combined with grades 1st -12th. More detailed information regarding summer registration for K-6th will be sent out to you before the end of the school year.

Parents can prepare now for registering their kindergarten children by making sure they have a birth certificate and that their child is current on the following immunizations: DTap, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio, Varicella and MMR by the end of July.  

Congratulations to all of the Payson Junior High science fair winners!  Dylan Weight earned the grand prize for his experiment on chemical and physical energy.  Perrin Ballamos, Jonathan Laursen, Jake Olson, and Gavin Siggard are all advancing to the district science fair at BYU.  We are so proud of all of our student scientists!  Great work Grizzlies.
