Parent-Teacher Conferences Wed (Virtual) & Thurs (In-Person)
Parent-Teacher Conferences are this week! We’ll have a virtual night on Wednesday, Sept. 28 and in-person conferences on Thursday, Sept. 29. Both nights will run from 4 – 7:30 pm. Students won’t have school on Friday, Sept. 30. For the virtual night on Wednesday, you can schedule an appointment in Skyward and access Zoom links here. You don’t need an appointment for the in-person conferences in the gym/cafe on Thursday.
On that subject, remember that we have so many ways to communicate. Please don’t feel you need to wait to talk to a teacher if you have a concern, question, or compliment. Parent conferences are an official chance to meet with them if you’d like, but you can call, email, or set up an appointment with a teacher all year long.
Again, this means that no school will be held on Friday, September 30th.
We will also be selling memory books from previous years on Thursday night for $5 while supplies last. See this flier for more information.

Our wonderful PTSA has arranged for SoJo students and their families to get free admission to skating at Classic Fun Center in Sandy on Monday, Sept. 26th from 5:30 – 8:30 pm. If you don’t have your own skates, you can rent them (or a scooter or rollerblades) for $3. You can also upgrade to unlimited activities for just $10. Check out this flier for more details.
Spirit Night @ Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt on Monday, Sept. 26th
Do you love both SoJo and FroYo? If so, mention that you’re with South Jordan Middle School at Menchies on Monday, Sept. 26th between 3 and 10 pm, and a portion of your purchase will go to the school through our wonderful PTSA.
Early Morning Drop-Off
Just a reminder that the school doesn’t open until 7:30 am. As it gets colder, please be aware so that your child isn’t left out in the cold.

Memory Book Baby Pics w/No Names
The Memory Book Committee has received a ton of amazing 9th grade baby photos. We have a handful that do not have names and need to be identified. Parents please check this link to see if your child is one of them. If your child’s photo is there, email the baby number and name to sojoyearbook@gmail.com asap. Photos were due last week, but if this serves as a reminder to you feel free to upload it to ReplayIt Private Photo Submission Site. Include your email and the student full name so they don’t end up on our unidentified baby list.
Community Council Meeting Oct. 3rd @ 4 pm
We have our first community council meeting soon. If you’d like to attend, join us on Monday, October 3rd at 4 pm. The tentative agenda for the meeting is to elect positions, review our Land Trust, TSSA, and Safe Walking Route plans, and to discuss any concerns from members of the committee.
