Access and complete registration forms online through your PowerSchool Parent Portal:

💵 Class Fees & Yearbook

We strongly encourage families to pay fees online and purchase a yearbook early (before the January 30 deadline).

• Fee payments are not available in the app.

If you need financial assistance, please apply for a Fee Waiver.

📸 Picture Day

Friday, August 22
Bell Photography will take school pictures for yearbooks and student ID cards. (Missed or re-takes will be Tuesday, September 30th)

Students will receive their ID cards after pictures. IDs are required for:

• School lunch

• Library checkouts

• And more

🚌 Busing

To check if your student qualifies for bus service, use the Bus Stop Locator. Note: Bus routes are subject to change, especially before school starts—check the day before!

🍴 School Lunch

Students must have their ID (or a photo of it with the barcode on their phone) to get lunch after picture day. Students without ID will wait until those with IDs have gone through the line. This system helps speed up lines and gives everyone more time to eat.

Reminder: You must reapply for Free/Reduced Lunch every school year.

📵 Cell Phone Policy

Sand Ridge and Weber School District will follow the State of Utah's electronic device policy.

During instructional time, devices must not be seen or heard—anywhere in the school.

• Students may use phones before/after school, between classes, and during lunch (in approved areas).

• School phones are available in the main and counseling offices if needed during instructional time.

Research shows that device use is a major distraction to learning. We’re committed to helping students focus, grow, and succeed!

This is our 4th year of the ONE Sand Ridge initiative—building a positive, inclusive school culture.
