WSD Aspire (One to One)

Students and Parents –

Next year, the 2019-2020 school year, South Ogden Junior High School will be issuing a Chromebook to each student.  At the beginning of the year, each student will be issued their own Chromebook to use throughout the school year.  Students will be able to keep the Chromebooks during the course of the school year.   In preparation for this, there is some additional training and work our teachers are required to do beforehand.  As a result, our teachers will have 4 half-days of training during March and April.  This means that school will dismissed at 12:15 PM on those 4 days.  We know this is an adjustment to the published school calendar, but hope that with this advanced notice, it will not be an inconvenience for families.  We have scheduled these teacher trainings on Wednesdays to coincide with elementary school early-out days in hopes that this makes it better for families with students at multiple schools. 

The dates classes at South Ogden Junior High will be dismissed at 12:15 PM for teacher training are:

March 6

March 20

April 10

April 17 

Please make note of these on your calendars and with your students.  Buses will run their normal routes at 12:15 PM to take students home (just like any other early-out day).

We are excited for this upcoming move toward more personalized instruction and being able to provide this resource for our students.  Much more information will be coming for both students and parents as this happens.  We will have a parent night in August to answer questions as well as provide information about each student being issued a Chromebook.  There will also be additional emails and information sent as we prepare for this in the upcoming school year.

We appreciate your support and would love to answer any questions or discuss any concerns that you might have.
