J U N E 2 0 1 6 TMJH NEWSLETTER 2016-2017 School Year TMJH registration for the 2016-2017 school year will begin on August 8. On August 18, we will have school pictures and student laptop distribution. Watch your mail and the TMJH webpage for more information in August. A Message from Our Principal We are wrapping up another fantastic school year at TMJH! I hope students, parents, and teachers feel as satisfied with their personal growth this year as I do and that everyone has made fun and relaxing plans for the summer. I’d like to thank all of the students, staff members, and parents who were involved in our “Let’s Talk About Drugs in Park City: A Community Discussion” event: Niko Jensen, Mary Klismith, Amy Jenkins, Zach Nakaishi, Molly Miller, Robert Kunz, and students from the Leadership class, especially Brooklyn Bohm, who DJ’ed for us. This was truly a collaborative event that included community members, students, and parents, and it would not have happened without the cooperation of everyone. We will hold another community discussion on drugs next October. Ms. Sutherland Principal Save the Date! May 31 Student Laptop return (all students) June 1 Student locker clean out June 2 Yearbook distribution. June 3 School dismissed at 11:45 am. JUNE 2016 TMJH NEWSLETTER A word from our Assistant Principal I can't believe it is the end of the school year already. The weather in Park City at this time of year always makes it tricky to gauge exactly how close we are to summer. I want to thank each of you who has taken the time to share your questions or concerns with me during my first year at Treasure Mountain. I have learned a tremendous amount from you and your students. Moving forward, I plan on expanding the positive behavior committee’s work to include more education about the restorative justice model for teaching students conflict resolution and peer mediation. These practices help students feel safer and happier at school. If you'd like more information about these practices, please visit http://www.edutopia.org and search for the term "restorative justice." Have a safe and relaxing summer with your family. Ms. Jenkins Assistant Principal The PTSO will be sponsoring a whole school End of Year Celebration on June 3rd from 8:00am to 11:15am. There will be food, games, movies, music and much more. PTSO is looking for volunteers to help with the celebration. If you are interested, please contact Kaz Burnz [email protected] or Ericha Oberg [email protected] 2 JUNE 2016 TMJH NEWSLETTER N o tes fro m the S c ho o l N urse Ple a se p ic k up a ny me d ic a tio n o r me d ic a l sup p lie s y o ur stud e nt ma y ha ve in the hea lth ro o m b y JU N E 2 nd .

Mr. Parker Advisor 6 JUNE 2016 TMJH NEWSLETTER 2016-2018 TMJH School Community Council The Treasure Mountain Junior High School Community Council (SCC) is soliciting parents and guardians interested in serving on the 2016-2018 Council. Nominations forms are found on the TMJH SCC website. Nominations should be submitted to Principal Emily Sutherland via email, fax(435-645-5649) or hand delivery by June 3, 2016. (Please verify acceptance of nominee prior to submission. Self nominations are encouraged.) ‘Write-In’s’ are accepted until voting begins during school registration days in August 2016, but late nominees might not have their ‘Bio’ printed for the ballot. From the nominations, a ballot will be drawn, and elections will be held during August 2016 school registration. Three parent representatives will be elected for a two year term. Questions? Contact Emily Sutherland, Principal, 435-645-5640 or email [email protected] The SCC meets 7 or 8 times annually. Meetings are generally held at Treasure Mountain from 2:40 – 3:40 pm. The SCC consists of TMJH teachers, administrators, and parents. The SCC is responsible for establishing and monitoring school goals and administering the Utah State Land Trust program for Treasure Mountain. The 7th annual Running with Ed on Saturday, May 21st was a huge success. Our theme this year was a “Titanic” based theme. Runners were welcomed at our exchange by “The Mondays”, a local band featuring Brian Kretschmar, a McPolin Teacher. The runners ran through our front doors, into the “dining room” and were serenaded by some of our Treasure Mountain orchestra students. As they continued down the hallway lined with portholes, runners had to dodge “floating luggage, clothing, and an occasional iceberg”. As the runners exited the rear doors, it appeared that the building was sinking into the ocean being surrounded by sea creatures. Our thanks go to the runners who ran a good race, our volunteers who supported our transition station and all the donations to make our school look like a ship. Please take a moment to view the PCEF webpage to see how much money was raised through this event. 7 JUNE 2016 TMJH NEWSLETTER TMJH Laptop Collection May 31th Per the PCSD student user agreement, the laptop has to pass inspection based on possible damage done during the school year.
