Attendance Makeup
If students have been absent too many days in some of their classes, DFHS attendance makeup for first semester will take place on Thursday January 9th, Monday January 13th, Thursday January 16th, and Thursday January 23. Payment of 15 dollars per class must be paid. Students will report to 106 (study hall) no later than 3:45 on those days. Students will only be able to make up two classes for each date. If makeup days are not made up by January 23rd, students will not be able to make up the days, and they will be denied credit for the course.

List of Available Tutors
Dutch Fork High School provides this list as a service to parents, but does not make any ability assessments or endorsements for any of the persons who have asked to be placed on the list. It is recommended that parents considering any tutor thoroughly assess that person’s capabilities and credentials. All financial arrangements, transportation, and appointments with tutors are strictly the responsibility of the parents. The list can be found on our website: https://www.lexrich5.org/Page/24428
PSAT/NMSQT Score Reports
The College Board released PSAT/NMSQT Score Reports for students who took the October 2019 PSAT this week. Students received an email notifying them that they could login to view their scores. The following College Board videos will assist you and your student with accessing and understanding your score report:
