by Kara Dunn

For the next few weeks, students, parents, teachers, and the faculty
at Springville Junior High and High School will be busy preparing
for registration for the upcoming school year. Students will have
the opportunity to meet with their counselor and go through a class
in which the counselor explains classes that are available for them
next year. Parents are welcome to attend these classes.
Seventh graders at Springville Junior High will have their SEOP’s
during their CTE class on February 9th and 10th; their registration
forms are to the counseling office on February 12th.
The eighth graders will have their SEOP’s during their history
class on February 13th; their registration forms are due to the counseling
office on February 18th.
Mrs. Monica Distefano, a counselor at Springville Junior High, gave
her advice on choosing classes, “I recommend that you should
explore your interests and not just go into the classes that you think
all of your friends will be taking. Think of you.”
New seventh graders coming into SJHS next year are required to take
English, math, science, history, PE, and CTE. They will also be given
1.5 credits in which they can choose from a selection of electives
such as music, art, creative writing, reading for enrichment and physical
education classes. They will also be given tours of our school in
April to learn their way around.
Seventh graders going into eighth grade are required to take math,
history, science, PE, health, and English. They will be given two
credits in which they can choose from a selection of different electives
including foods, sewing, creative writing, reading for enrichment,
journalism, woodshop, and more.
At Springville Junior High there are many different electives. There
are music classes, art classes, a Spanish class, and a Seminary class
for ninth graders. There is however, a ten dollar fee for a few of
the art classes, as well as music.
Mr. Shaun Blakey, another counselor at SJHS, gave seventh graders
a few tips. “Don’t be afraid of the different classes
or of the eight and ninth graders. Try your best to have fun and engage
in school activities.”
