Strengths based survey
Dear Parents/Guardians,
On Friday, April 21st, Spanish Fork Jr. High is participating in a strengths based survey to understand the well-being and school experience of students. The survey asks questions like the following:
- If you fail to reach an important goal, how likely are you to try again
- How often were you polite to other students?
- How often are you able to pull yourself out of a bad mood
If you would like to view all the questions of the survey, please see this link.
We will use the feedback from this survey to help students achieve success in their education. As a parent you are welcome to request a copy of your student's responses along with skills that can improve success.
Thank you in advance for your ongoing support. If you have questions, please reach out to us. If you choose to opt your student out of the survey, please email jennifer.dahl@nebo.edu by Wednesday, April 19th.
Sincerely,
SFJHS Administration

Everyday Strong
Have you ever heard of “stinking thinking?” No, it’s not when you have rotten banana peels and dirty diapers on your mind.
Stinking thinking is a term used by Allan Pauole, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with Revere Health, to describe the negative self-talk we often subject ourselves to. It isn’t just adults that fall victim to these thoughts. Children also have the tendency to think negatively about themselves and sometimes verbalize these things.
What is the best way to respond when your child says, “I’m so stupid!”? Find out by listening to the EveryDay Strong Podcast this week.
Okay, you can go back to thinking about banana peels now.
