North Ogden Jr. High -

Principal's Corner - We have enthusiastically moved into our third quarter of the school year. Students have figured out the rhythm of the school year and have the process well in hand.  We have marvelous examples of strength throughout our school, and it has been exciting to see the growth and development being produced. Here are few ideas to help your student stay strong as we begin our second semester at North Ogden Junior High:

◦Encourage your student to take advantage of North Ogden Junior High’s Homework Haven- Monday through Thursday after school in the math department.

◦Regularly check on their grades, and make sure they take advantage of making up any missing work.

◦Take the opportunity to create study sessions with friends after school in the library.

◦Get proper rest and arrive on time for class.

◦Ask your child about their school day. Engage in conversation about what they have learned in classes.

◦Refer to the schools master calendar and prepare for upcoming events in which students might be involved.

We appreciate the constant support that we see throughout our community.  We are fortunate to have your continued involvement in your child’s success.  Wendy Long

#Our Show! Is a musical revue: a genre of musical theatre that includes many scenes from several of the best musicals ever to grace Broadway! The show will run from March 24th-26th with performances starting at 7:30pm and a Saturday matinee at 2:30!

#Our Show Synopsis and Director’s Vision - It’s the end of another year here at North Ogden Jr. High. The students are signing yearbooks and remembering the good, the bad, and the strange times they’ve had here at North Ogden.  Each musical scene we do will be slightly modified from the original to fit a moment or scene here at North Ogden, and we will explore memories such as the first few awkward months of school, love (and the lack of), all the fun classes and extra-curricular activities, as well as the journey we all go through towards being true to ourselves and loving others for who they are!

Each musical scene will start as if it’s a photo out of the yearbook with student creating a tableau. The yearbook will be an image that will be part of the set design via a large yearbook in the back of the stage.  The “yearbook” will serve as a backdrop for the segment of the junior high experience being explored in the scene, with pages that will open to a new set of photographs for each segment of the show. Hope to see you there should be a lot of fun.
