Dear Mound Fort Community,
We are excited to welcome you back to school for the 2020-2021 academic year. The safety and well-being of our students, employees and all school visitors has always been our highest priority.
Each new year brings its own unique circumstances that cause us to adjust and adapt. The challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the need to change more than ever before. Despite these changes, we are committed to providing a learning environment that is clean, sanitary and safe while also retaining a sense of familiarity and comfort for students.
Ogden School District has developed the plan, “Keeping Ogden Healthy”. This district-wide system was created using the established guidelines set forth by the governor of Utah, the Utah State Board of Education and the state and local health departments. Here at Mound Fort 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:
Sanitation & Hygiene
Personal Protective Equipment
Physical Distancing
Additional details regarding our operational processes and procedures can be found here.
While Mound Fort is eager for students to return to our campus this year, we understand that some students and families have unique needs which can be best served by learning through an alternative to in-person instruction. For those students, we are happy to offer the consideration of Ogden Online. This is the official online learning platform delivering core curriculum instruction for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Whether your family’s preference is to attend school in person or online, the standard registration process should be completed for each student. Following registration, families will be provided additional instructions for proceeding with enrollment in Ogden Online if that is their preference.
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

A pesar de estos cambios, estamos comprometidos a proporcionar un ambiente de aprendizaje que sea limpio, sanitario y seguro, mientras conservamos un sentido de familiaridad y comodidad para los estudiantes.

Este sistema fue creado para todo el distrito usando las pautas establecidas por el gobernador de Utah, la Junta de Educación del Estado de Utah y los departamentos de salud estatales y locales. Aquí en Mound Fort seguiremos el plan "Manteniendo Saludable a Ogden" mientras hacemos las adaptaciones necesarias que son específicas en cómo apoyar nuestras necesidades en nuestra escuela.

Esta es la plataforma oficial de aprendizaje en línea que ofrece instrucción curricular básica para los estudiantes del kinder al 12º grado. Si la preferencia de su familia es asistir a la escuela en persona o en línea, el proceso de registración estándar debe llenar el formulario para cada estudiante. Después de la registración, si su preferencia es inscribirse en Ogden Online, las familias recibirán instrucciones adicionales para proceder con la la registración para el programa.
Nosotros agradecemos a cada miembro de nuestra comunidad escolar por su dedicación al aprendizaje y crecimiento académico de los estudiantes y la salud y el bienestar de todos. Gracias por elegir a Ogden y gracias por elegir a Mound Fort Junior High.
