SALT LAKE CITY (March 14, 2020) - At a news conference yesterday afternoon, Gov. Gary R. Herbert mentioned that during public school’s two-week dismissal, parents who are unable to be home with children will have the option to bring them to school to be supervised by teachers. This is not the case.
Dear Parents/Guardians:
NEBO SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DISMISS SCHOOLS
As directed by the State of Utah, all public schools in Utah will dismiss beginning Monday, March 16, 2020, for two weeks in response to COVID-19. This is a proactive measure.
CONTINUED LEARNING
School “dismissal” means that Nebo employees will continue to be in the schools providing learning for students through online instruction and/or educational packets to continue student learning. Further communication about devices and materials will come from your school.
Congratulations to Kaiden Howell, 8th grade, and Jacob Fowles, 9th grade, for finishing as finalists in the district chess tournament.
On Friday, March 6th the Salem Jr. High concert band and advanced percussion visited the University of Utah for the Western Regional Concert Band Festival. At the festival, students received clinics from the University of Utah faculty, performed on stage at Libby Gardner Concert Hall and were taught by renowned band teacher, Peter Boonshaft. Students received recognition for a superior performance at the festival and were one of only 4 junior high bands to perform at the festival. Congrats to the Salem Jr. High band!
We are happy to announce our March Students of the Month! These students were nominated by faculty and staff for being a Spartan in Body, Heart, and Mind and were honored at a breakfast with their parents/guardians on March 3. Congratulations!
