Open House

An Open House will be held on August 16th from 1:00 - 4:00pm. All students and parents are invited to come find classrooms, meet teachers and visit the school. Teachers will be in their classrooms for visits. We encourage all students to attend the Open House, especially any students new to Spanish Fork Junior High. We would love to answer any questions and help in any way we can. We will have maps of the school available.

Picture Day

Picture day is on Tuesday, August 30th. Picture order forms will be sent home with students during the first week of school. Parents can also prepay for school pictures online at mylifetouch.com with the Picture Day ID #EVTB3ZBG4. Access will be available approximately two weeks prior to picture day. Picture retakes will be on October 10th.

School Fees

School fees may be paid online by going to myschoolfees.com. Items such as the Chromebook Protection Plan and yearbooks can also be paid through My School Fees when paying for required fees. These items are listed under “optional fees.” All credit card transactions, whether in person or online, will incur a $2 fee as directed by a recent district finance policy.

Administrators will be available to answer questions and help with fee waivers. It is necessary to apply for a fee waiver annually; last year’s application will not be valid for this school year. Students may receive a fee waiver for one of the following reasons:

  • Family receives TANF (currently qualified for financial assistance or food stamps)

  • Student qualifies for McKinney-Vento
  • Student is in Foster Care (under Utah or local governmental supervision) or State Custody
