Keeping Ogden Healthy
Dear Mound Fort Junior High Community,
We are excited to welcome you back to school for the 2021-2022 academic year. The safety and well-being of our students, employees and all school visitors has always been our highest priority.
We remain committed to providing a learning environment that is clean, sanitary and safe while also retaining a sense of familiarity and comfort for students.
Here at Mound Fort Junior High we will be following the “Keeping Ogden Healthy” plan while making necessary, school-specific adaptations to fit our needs.
Each member of our school community has a responsibility to protect themselves and each other. Please join me and the members of our school staff in choosing to embrace these protective measures:
Face masks are not required in our school. However, face masks have been shown to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and are therefore recommended as a choice for anyone who is not vaccinated.
We appreciate every member of our school community for your dedication to student learning and growth and the health and well-being of everyone. Thank you for choosing Ogden and thank you for choosing Mound Fort Junior High
Sincerely,
Ross Lunceford, Principal

Mantener Ogden Saludable
Estimada comunidad de Mound Fort Junior High,
Nos complace darle la bienvenida de regreso a clase para el año académico 2021-2022. La seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes, empleados y todos los visitantes de la escuela siempre ha sido nuestra prioridad.

Cada miembro de nuestra comunidad escolar tiene la responsabilidad de protegerse a sí mismos y a los demás. Únase a mí y a los miembros de nuestro personal escolar para adoptar estas medidas de protección:
No se requieren mascarillas en nuestra escuela. Sin embargo, se ha demostrado que las mascarillas faciales reducen la propagación de COVID-19 y, por lo tanto, se recomiendan como una opción para cualquier persona que no esté vacunada.
Agradecemos a cada miembro de nuestra comunidad escolar por su dedicación al aprendizaje y crecimiento de los estudiantes y la salud y el bienestar de todos. Gracias por elegir Ogden y gracias por elegir Mound Fort Junior High.
Sinceramente,
