Principal's Message

Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome back to another exciting school year at Tooele Junior High School, home of the Road Runners! I hope you all had an enjoyable summer.
As we start on this new academic year, I want to take a moment to express my enthusiasm and optimism for the months ahead. This is going to be an EXCELLENT school year.
At Tooele Junior High, we believe in the power of community and collaboration. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. Our dedicated faculty and staff have been working diligently to prepare engaging and enriching curriculum experiences that will support every student’s growth and development.
I encourage students to embrace new challenges and actively participate in school every day! A key component of our students’ success is consistent attendance. Regular attendance is crucial for academic achievement and helps students build strong, positive habits. Being present in class every day not only supports learning but also fosters a sense of community and belonging.
We believe that everyday counts, and every student’s presence makes a difference. We encourage parents and guardians to support our attendance goals by ensuring that students arrive on time and attend school every day.
Our first day of school is August 13, 2024 and our school day starts at 7:55 AM! If your child is ill or has an unavoidable absence, please inform the school as soon as possible. We are here to support you and work together to address any barriers to attendance.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to seeing everyone back at school and making this year exceptional.
Warmest regards,
Kalem Norton
Principal
Tooele Junior High School

TCSD Attendance Procedures

Excusing an Absence on Skyward

To excuse a student on the app:

When parents sign up for the Skyward app, they will select a four-digit code.
Put in your four-digit code and continue to the app
Select the “hamburger button” (the triple bar or trigram symbol) on the top right.
From here you have two options, the first option (the message tab), will show you through the notification when your student was marked absent and what you need to excuse. With the attendance tab you simply submit a request.

1. Message Tab
Attendance Notification
View
Add Absent Request
OR
2. Attendance
Add Absent Request

Either of these two options will open a pop-up.
Complete the following information:
Student
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional – but very helpful, especially if you want to “excuse 2^nd hour”)
If you have more than one student and want this attendance request submitted for another student (maybe your family will be attending a funeral and all students need to be excused) then you can “Copy” the request and select additional students.
Submit

To submit a request from the website:

Tooeleschools.org
Click on the Families tab across the top
Click on Skyward for Parents
Log in
On the top right click student (if you only have one student you will just see your student’s name)
In the drop-down menu select the student’s name you need to excuse
Select Attendance in the menu on the left hand side
Click on the hyperlink at the top of the page “Absence Request.”
An “Add Request” pop-up block will open
Complete the following blocks:
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional, but once again, very helpful)
Save
Once you have “Saved” you will receive an email notification that an absence request has been submitted.
After the request has been processed, parents will receive a notification in Skyward
“(Student’s name) Absence Request has been (approved or denied)
The Absence Request submitted for (student) on (date) has been (approved or denied).
If a request is denied, a reason must be provided. It will then say “Go to your Absence Requests for further information.”

Cell Phones, Smartwatches, and Personal Devices

Policy 5031 is not new and was adopted in 2019. the procedures are based on this policy

New Legislation coming Jan. to require districts to have policy limiting cellphones in classrooms

Tooele County School District recognizes that technology can enhance teaching and learning, along with the sense of security that cell phones and smart watches provide, and we are dedicated to ensuring their safe and civil use.

In an effort to create an optimal learning environment at Tooele County School District high schools, we will limit the use of cell phones, smartwatches, and other personal electronic devices during school hours. These devices, while beneficial in many contexts, can be significant sources of distraction and disruption in the classroom. By minimizing their use, we aim to foster a focused and engaged learning atmosphere where students can fully participate in instructional activities. Additionally, restricting these devices helps prevent negative behaviors such as cyberbullying, cheating, and other inappropriate or illegal activities. Our primary goal is to enhance student focus and engagement, ensuring that every student can thrive academically and socially in a supportive and undistracted environment.

Personal electronic devices, including cell phones, smart watches, headphones, tablets, etc., may be brought to school with parents’ permission but must be turned off and stored out of sight during school hours for elementary and instructional time for secondary. Cell phones or smart watches are not to be used by students in bathrooms, locker rooms, and ALL learning spaces.

Cell phones will be allowed for students with a specific need per their healthcare plan, IEP, 504, or ILDP. The office phone is available for students when necessary and with permission during the school day. TCSD cannot assume any responsibility for cell phones or smart watches.

Procedures

If students do not comply with the cell phone or smartwatch rules, consequences may
be the listed actions.

Exceptions may be made for students with a health care plan (such as students with a continuous glucose monitor), IEP or 504. This will be approved on a case-by-case basis by meeting with the principal, teacher, and case manager.

With minor communication emergencies, parents will need to contact the main office to either call down their student or to relay a message.
With a school-level emergency or crisis, we ask that parents and students limit or avoid communication and wait for instructions and communication from local incident commanders. Misinformation spread during a crisis can often be more dangerous than the crisis itself.

Teachers will always have nearby access to the classroom phone.

1st infraction: Verbal warning

2nd infraction: Cell phone/watch held at the office and the student can pick it up at the end of the day.

3rd infraction: Cell phone/watch held at the office until a parent picks it up. Infractions documented in Educators Handbook.

Additional consequences will be implemented if students continue to not comply with cell phone/smartwatch rules. Students will be required to turn in their device to the office at the start of each day.
