Other Important Information:

*Monday Make-up Day: December 18th is our next Monday Make-up Day! Students will

be released at 1:10pm to go to their classes and talk to teachers regarding missing

assignments, grades, etc., if needed. Releasing students at this time should also allow our

bus students an opportunity to meet with teachers before catching their buses. Buses will

run on their regular Monday schedule. If you have questions regarding Monday Make-up

Days, please contact the school at 801-794-6740.

*Attendance Information: Parents -- Please be reminded that parents can only excuse

1st and 3rd period tardies. Tardies between classes cannot be excused. Parents can only

excuse a total of five tardies per term. Also, please understand that if your student is

marked absent or tardy by mistake, they need to visit with the teacher to have it removed

or changed. The attendance office cannot remove or change an attendance mark a teacher

gives a student, only the teacher can do that. The attendance office can only excuse an

absence but cannot change or remove an absence. As always, please contact Mrs. Davis in
