Well, SoJo, today is the day. Registration is officially open on Skyward. This is the part of the school process where you’ll go over start-of-year agreements like Chromebook use, update your contact information and communication preferences, pay registration and class fees, purchase a memory book (prices go up, so buy early), join the PTSA, and add money to your school lunch accounts. Get it done early so that you don’t have to worry about it later!

Current Openings
We have several job opportunities at SoJo. In Special Education, we have openings both for a teacher and for instructional assistants. We also have openings in our cafeteria. If you’re looking for a fun, extremely rewarding opportunity, check out this page to apply!
Schedules are Now Available, Once Registration is Complete
Once you finish registration and pay your registration and class fees, you’ll be able to view your schedule in Skyward. We have done our very best to get you as much of what you requested in the spring as possible. Due to the logistics of balancing the schedules of 1200+ students, we do not make changes to student schedules unless a mistake has been made. If you have questions or feel there is a mistake, please contact your counselor.
Also, please be sure to recheck your schedule before the first day of school. We’ll remind you, but there are rare instances where staffing changes require minor schedule adjustments and it’s always a good idea to check in again on Skyward the day before we start to make sure there are no surprises.
Other Registration Reminders
Registration must be completed prior to school starting, including required immunizations for 7th graders. Also, your student will receive a Chromebook from the school to be used in every class, and that can go home with your student as well. The costs for any damage to the Chromebook will be assessed according to this chart. Finally, please remember that school lunch is no longer free. See this page for more info, and instructions on completing a free and reduced lunch application, if needed.
Core Standards Survey Opportunity
As part of the Utah State Board of Education’s Core Standards process, they conduct an Annual Core Standards Survey to get stakeholder feedback to help us to improve our standards and supports. The annual survey is now open until August 20th. Feel free to take the survey and to share with any educators, parents or other stakeholders.
Skateboards, Longboards, Scooters, and Bikes
If you bring wheels to school, please make plans to store and lock them. We’ve found that skateboards and scooters can fit in the locker, and scooters can be locked to the outside bike rack. Longboards can be stored in the attendance office unless we start getting enough we have to change that. It’s early, but if you’re planning transportation, we wanted to put it on your radar.
