Principals:

The new window for Student Club applications began August 15 and goes through October 1. We have updated the guidelines and instructions so please be sure to read through them. We also have created two fillable forms for you to use; the application for student clubs and the student clubs participation form. When printing the forms, make sure you print them two sided. We ask that you pass this information along to your assistant principal who is assigned to be over student clubs.

Please call Cari Minnesota at 801-567-8173 if you have any questions. Thanks!
