A SAFETY REMINDER
We welcome parents at our school and want you to feel like a vital part of our school community. However, in the interest of student safety, all visitors entering the building MUST stop in the office first and get a visitor badge. This includes anyone entering the cafeteria during breakfast hours. You must have valid ID and show it at the office each time you visit the school in order for us to make sure we are only allowing adults in the building who are authorized to be here and have access to students. We also need ID every time you come to check your child out of school. So please don’t leave it in your car, or home even if you have been in the office before!

BULLYING PREVENTION SEMINAR RECORDING
Jordan School District recently sponsored a one hour bullying prevention seminar through the Cook Center. Several of our school staff members watched it and found it very useful. The seminar was focused on helping families understand bullying and how to support their children. Free Bullying Prevention Seminar recording.
WELLNESS CENTER and IN FOCUS
Oquirrh will support our students socially and emotionally this year using In Focus curriculum. Students face unique challenges, and well-being life skills are critical during these formative years. This curriculum which focuses on well-being helps students develop the skills they need to navigate challenges and build a foundation for success.
Oquirrh opened a fully-staffed Wellness Center in August 2019! Watch a short introduction video to see more about how it works. A 10-minute visit to the Wellness Center gives all students an opportunity to regroup, recharge, and proactively manage their emotions in healthy ways. We understand that learning can be hard work and sometimes the social-emotional part of a child's day can be especially challenging. A trip to the Wellness Center can provide needed support and a safe place for students to prepare to get back to work in their job as students and friends in our school community. In Focus is a curriculum we use to help our students: Learn about emotions and how to manage them; know how to set positive goals and achieve them; develop social skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving; and understand how stress can affect their well-being and learn how to deal with it.
PTA
2025-26 PTA Memberships are available for $7 in the school office or by electronic membership payments. This is a great way to help support our school to help fund field trips and extra curricular activities for our students.
Thank you for your continued support. Please call us with your questions at 801-565-7474 from 8:15-3:45, Monday through Friday.
