Grizzly Update - September 6, 2017

Submitted by cheri.campbell on

We hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend.  We now are on the countdown to fall break.  There are just a few reminders for our parents and students to help this year continue to run smooth. 

1-    Dress code- Please review the dress code policy for Nebo School District.  We are seeing a few violations of the dress code and would like to address this early in the year.  If you have any questions regarding the dress please reference the attached student handbook.

2-    Attendance and Tardies- As a school policy a parent can only excuse tardies for 1st period and only a maximum of five (5) 1st period tardies per term can be excused.  A student is allowed a total of two (2) tardies, if more are accumulated there are consequences outlined in the student handbook.  For more information regarding tardies please reference the attached student handbook.

Please read through the many wonderful events happening at Payson Junior High.  Remember to check our social media sites for any additional information.

PJHS: Box Tops for Education

· For every 10 Box Tops you bring into your Den Time (3rd period) class you get a 5-point Extra Credit Coupon to use in any of your classes (with teacher’s acceptance). If you happen to bring in more than 50 Box Tops, then you will also receive a Free Homework Pass (on top of the 5 extra credit coupons).

· Extra Credit coupons will not be replaced if lost or stolen—so keep it safe and redeem as soon as you know which class you would like to use the extra credit in.

· The Extra Credit coupon will not expire until the end of the school year.

· All Box Tops will be collected on the last Monday of the term, and Box Tops will not be carried over from term to term—so save up 10 Box Tops before you turn them in.

 NOTE: Teachers are not required to accept coupons for extra credit —so please check with teacher before presenting it.  Also, you may combine more than one coupon for a class.
