At-Home Online Learning
The hope is that students will login daily and complete each day's work for each class. We are so grateful for so many of you students who have been willing to jump right in and get back to learning despite all that is happening around us!
And a SPECIAL Shout-out to our parents who have jumped in to help their kids stay on task and continue their school work from home. It truly is a TEAM effort to make this happen, and we're grateful to all of you!
We are STRONGER TOGETHER (even when we are not physically together!)
UTAH SCHOOL SPIRIT WEEK
3rd Term Grades
Thanks for your hard work and commitment to learning--even in these unique circumstances.
We are ALL IN For Learning!
FREE School Breakfast & Lunch
Each school day (M-F), students can pick up a Grab-n-Go breakfast and lunch between 9:00-11:30am 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.

Internet Essentials Free to New Customers:
As announced yesterday, it’s even easier for low-income families who live in a Comcast service area to sign-up for Internet Essentials, the nation’s largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program. New customers will receive 60 days of complimentary Internet Essentials service, which is normally available to all qualified low-income households for $9.95/month. Additionally, for all new and existing Internet Essentials customers, the speed of the program’s Internet service was increased to 25 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream. That increase will go into effect for no additional fee and it will become the new base speed for the program going forward.
