      • Bemis Junior High School Homework Club

        After-School Tutoring

         At Bemis Junior High School we are taking positive steps to help your child by offering one hour after school student tutoring sessions three days per week in our Media Center.  This program will be facilitated by Bemis Junior High School teachers, along with tutoring by current Henry Ford II High School National Honor Society members. Beginning next Monday, October 21, 2024, two Bemis Junior High School teachers will supervise and support students on Mondays and Tuesdays.  Each Wednesday, we will have a teacher supervisor and current Henry Ford II High School National Honor Society members tutoring our Bemis students.  This is an optional drop-in program, students do not have to attend each session, they do not have to attend every week. 

        If your child attends any or all tutoring sessions, they will be expected to bring all necessary materials and books to the Media Center by 3:05 p.m. and remain until 4:05 p.m. Parents need to arrange to pick up their child by 4:10 p.m. If you would like your child to participate in this program, please complete the attached form and return it to the counseling office prior to your child’s first date of attendance.

        If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Mrs. Dolland-Head at: diana.dolland-head@uticak12.org.

        Sincerely,

        Mr. Yaw, Bemis Junior High Principal

      • Peanut/Tree Nut Safe Classroom

        We are asking for your help this year in a very important matter. Your child is in a classroom where at least one student has an allergy to peanut and/or tree nut products. For that reason, we have made your child’s room a “peanut/tree nut safe classroom.”

        Our students’ overall health and wellbeing are issues that involve all of us. Peanut products to avoid include peanuts, peanut butter, peanut flour and/or peanut oil. Examples of tree nuts that should be avoided include such things as almonds, cashews, macadamia, pecans and walnuts.

        A student's allergy can be so serious that contact with even the smallest amount of a peanut product can cause a severe or even fatal reaction. There are a number of simple things you can do to help us to ensure a successful school year for all of our students:

        • Do not send daily snacks that may contain/were processed on shared equipment with/ or manufactured in the same facility with peanut or tree nut products. Be aware that traces of nuts can be found in unexpected foods. Please check packaged food labels for content ingredients or potential allergens.
        • If there is a classroom activity or celebration for which you are providing a special treat, please be sure to not send foods with peanut or tree nut products.
        • Even though they may be delicious, we also must require that no homemade baked or commercially prepared bakery treats be brought to school.

        This is a learning process for all of us. It is extremely important that we respect and adhere to these guidelines. If you have questions at any time about this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me.

        Sincerely,

        Thomas Yaw, Bemis Junior High School Principal
