Panorama Survey
Dear SoJo Middle School Families,
This Thursday students will be taking our district’s Panorama SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Survey. This survey gives us insight into how students feel about school and helps us drive change for our school culture. This survey will be given to students in Prowl class and should only take about 15-20 minutes. Students will be asked how they think and feel about school. Here is a link to some of the questions that your student may be asked
This data will be used alongside academic, behavioral, and attendance records in order to support the whole child. By using Panorama our school will able to act on data and plan solutions at the school, classroom, and student level. This survey:
- Is not a curriculum
- Is not a mental health screener
- Has nothing to do with 2nd Step
- Has nothing to do with Critical Race Theory (CRT)
Thank you so much for your support at home. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact your student’s school counselor.
Pick-Up & Drop-Off Behind SoJo
We’ve been asked by the residents living behind SoJo to remind patrons that Temple View Land (the street that dead-ends behind the school) is not a drop-off and pick-up location. Thank you for your understanding.
Current Openings
We are still looking for 17- and 25-hour aides in our special needs classrooms, as well as cashiers for our cafeteria (2.5 hours per day, between 11 am – 2 pm depending on the day). We’d love to have you join our wonderful staff and get to experience the great students of SoJo firsthand.
Lunch Menu & App
Wondering what’s for lunch each day? You can find our lunch menu here. You can also download the NutriSlice app, and it allows you access to the menu, nutrition information, and more for all schools in Jordan District.
Middle School Behavior at BHS Events
We’ve been asked by Bingham High School to reiterate to students that their behavior at high school events may make it so they are no longer able to attend those events. They are reporting specific issues with middle school students’ behavior at football games, although the request applies to any time our students are representing our school or district at any event. Keep it classy, SoJo!
School Community Council Nominations
If you’re interested in joining our school community council, this is our last call for nominations. Our first meeting is scheduled for October 3rd from 3:30 – 4:30 pm here at the school. If you are interested in serving on this year’s council (even if you’ve been on it last year), please fill out a nomination form and return it to the school ASAP.
