- Fridays will still be "E-time Friday" with no new assignments
- Math will be every day still (M-Th)

FREE School Breakfast & Lunch
Each school day (M-F), students can pick up a Grab-n-Go breakfast and lunch between 10:30am-12:00pm from several area schools. Diamond Fork Junior High is one of these locations. Children from any school may pick up meals at any of the locations, but the children must be present to pick up meals. Both meals may be picked up at the same time.
