Assembly Behavior
Assembly Behavior
On occasion, Treasure Mountain gathers the entire student body for an assembly. The topics of these range from informational, to celebrational, to performative.

Move quickly and quietly to your assigned seating area

Sit respectfully and listen throughout

Show appreciation with appropriate applause.

Attendance Policy
The Park City Board of Education believes that school attendance has a direct impact on a student’s level of academic achievement. In order to make the most of one’s educational opportunity, a student must have consistent, punctual, daily attendance. Regular attendance and participation in class is essential for students to be successful. TMJH’s attendance policy supports those of the Park City School Board as stated here and here.
As a whole, students are encouraged and expected to attend all of their classes, every day, on time. Students are not allowed to leave campus during school hours unless checked out by an authorized adult.

Behavior Expectations
Behavior Expectations
Treasure Mountain Junior High is committed to creating a caring, respectful, and safe school environment with consistent classroom expectations and consequences. To achieve this, we have implemented a positive behavior intervention system (PBIS) and are working to build a consistent schoolwide culture using the three R’s of behavior expectations:
- Be Responsible
- Be Respectful
- Be Ready
TMJH utilizes a Behavior Flowchart which details potential behavior and the progression of discipline used to address it.
Restorative Practices and Accountability
The majority of students at TMJH demonstrate positive behavior choices everyday. However, when a student is involved in a minor conflict or incident, teachers, staff, and administration will use restorative practices to assist students in a process that helps them reflect on and be held accountable for their behavior. This means that the student who caused harm will be asked to reflect, in writing or through a conversation with an adult, on their behavior and develop a plan that “repairs the harm” with all parties involved. This process teaches positive behavior changes and supports the student during the process. All students will experience a fair process and be treated with dignity and respect.
Zero Tolerance
The Park City School District is a Zero Tolerance district. Zero Tolerance includes the understanding that the behaviors listed below are unacceptable and when an allegation is brought forth, it will be investigated and consequences, as aligned to the Park City Schools Safe School Policy will be issued. Progressive discipline is also utilized for repeat offenders.
The following are NOT tolerated at TMJH at any time. Please tell an adult if you are ever aware of something from this list happening at school:
- Harassment
- including racist, homophobic, and anti-semitic speech
- Bullying / Cyberbullying
- This includes online harassment and sexting
- Sexual Harassment
- Alcohol/Drugs
- Gang Activity
- Assault/Fighting
- Weapons of any kind
- Tobacco
- Hazing
- Look-alike weapons
- In addition, online harassment and “sexting” will result in possible disciplinary action and police involvement.
Reporting
-
An online reporting form has been established to report any infractions. Go to this link.
Bicycles, Skateboards, etc.
Bicycles, Skateboards, etc.
Many TMJH students chose to ride to school in various formats. Those who do so should wear helmets and recognize that TMJH is not responsible for lost or stolen property. To assist in this effort, the expectation around the storage and use of bikes, skateboards, etc. are that:
-
Bicycles should be locked up outside in the front of the school
-
Skateboards must be left in the student’s locker
-
Bicycles, skateboards, roller blades, etc. are not allowed to be used inside the school
Bus Conduct
Bus Conduct
Nearly all students at Treasure Mountain are eligible for bus transportation to school. While students in 8th-12th grades don’t have bus passes, students may only ride the assigned bus of their neighborhood. Furthermore, students should recognize that bus transportation is a privilege and students are expected to conduct themselves in a proper manner at all times.

*Students who have a documented medical diagnosis and need access to their cell phone, will be allowed to access their phone during the day for medical reasons.
Counselors
Counselors
Each student is assigned a school counselor who will assist students throughout their academic years at TMJH. These counselors are typically assigned to students by alphabet according to their last name and these assignments will be made known at the beginning of the school year.
Counselors work to assist students with an orientation to the school, study habits, and personal concerns. Counselors are available to students at all times though students should be mindful of existing appointments for counselors and of disrupting their academic work to speak with a counselor.
For more information regarding our counseling department, please see their website.
Dances
Dances
Students at Treasure Mountain are typically involved in two specific dances. 9th graders are invited to attend homecoming as members of the high school.

National Junior Honor Society
National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is a worldwide organization that consists of many chapters in middle schools (grades 6-9). The National Junior Honor Society was founded in 1929 in the hopes of creating an organization that would recognize and encourage academic achievement while also developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. The ideals of scholarship, character, service, leadership, and citizenship remain as relevant today as they were in 1929.
Members must maintain a 3.5 grade point average (verified by quarterly report card submissions). NJHS requires group and individual service to the community, school, or other organizations (service hours verified by written documentation).
Teacher Adviser –Ms Ryan
Announcements:
Application deadlines, meeting dates, community service opportunities, and documentation due dates will be announced during morning announcements, and will be posted on the NJHS Canvas page.
Parent Release
Parent Release
Parent Release is an exception to the state’s mandatory attendance statute, which allows students to be released for part of the school day for regularly-occurring off-campus activities, with the permission of their parent or legal guardian.
Important stipulations about Parent Release:
- Parent Release relieves the school of responsibility for the student during the time they are released from school
- Parents are legally responsible for students and their transportation needs during the parent release time
- During release time, the student may NOT be on any school campus.
- On the rare occasion that the student wishes to use a school facility during their release time, they must have prior approval from an administrator or the attendance office
- This should not be a regular occurrence
- Students agree that if they are on a school campus during their Parent Release time, they will be asked to leave on the first occurrence.
- Repeated violation of this may result in trespassing citations, safe schools violations, and/or additional consequences as determined by the administration.
- If release time is requested in place of a core academic class (language arts, math, science, social studies, PE, health, computer literacy), the parent is responsible for the instruction the student will receive in that subject.
- Credit cannot be earned for Parent Release.
- If a parent wishes to rescind Parent Release during the school year, the student’s class schedule is subject to course availability. Seats in core and elective classes are not held for students who wish to cancel their release time.
Procedure to Request Parent Release:
The student and parent/legal guardian must call or schedule a meeting with their School Counselor to discuss the Parent Release exception. If the decision is made to proceed with Parent Release, then the student may be subject to the schedule change process to accommodate the Parent Release. The student’s class schedule will be subject to course availability; class capacities will not be overfilled.
PowerSchool
PowerSchool
What is PowerSchool?
PowerSchool is the web-based student information system used by the Park City School District. It provides you with a convenient means of being involved in your student’s school day. At any time you can:
-
Check student’s grades
-
Track student’s assignments
-
Monitor student’s attendance
-
E-mail access to student’s teachers
-
Sign up for automatic daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly e-mail reports (available via parent login only)

How do I get access to PowerSchool?
PowerSchool logins are reset every summer for your protection and confidentiality. Students will get their new login when they pick up their laptop. Students get their own ID and password so they can keep track of their own grades and assignments, providing a way to help them accept responsibility for their work.
With a Parent PowerSchool Account, parents will have access to a special E-mail Notifications page where they can sign up for automatic progress reports. Because of this exclusive feature, it is highly recommended that parents keep their account ID and password confidential and not share it with their student.
-
To set up a Parent PowerSchool Account, parents will need their student’s parent access ID and password. We mail those home the first week of September. Parents can link all their students to one Parent Account, all you need is the parent access ID and password for each of their students. For instructions, see the Parent Single Sign-On Instruction Sheet.
-
If you lose your Parent Account set-up instructions, contact the school. For security reasons, we will not give out account information by phone, fax, or e-mail. We can mail your login information to your mailing address on record, or you can pick it up in person.
How to use PowerSchool
To access PowerSchool, type the following address into your Internet browser: powerschool.pcschools.us. It is a good idea to bookmark this location for future use. PowerSchool is also accessible from our District and TMJH websites.
To check grades and assignments once you are logged in, click on the “Grades and Attendance” icon.
To view assignments, click on the blue number grade under the current Quarter of each class. Teachers often include additional information about an assignment which you can access by clicking on the active (blue) link. If you would like to e-mail your student’s teacher, you can do so by clicking the teacher’s name in blue.
Parents can also set up automatic progress reports via email.
Report Incident
Safe Schools
Safe Schools
It is the intent of the Board of Education to provide every student in the district with the opportunity to learn in an environment that is safe, conducive to the learning process, and free from unnecessary disruption. Students should be aware that certain behavior, outlined herein and in other policies of the district, are unacceptable and will result in disciplinary action. The superintendent and his/her designees will enforce district policies with the aim to make students and their parents or guardians understand that unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated and will be dealt with in accordance with the board's disciplinary policies.
Política de Seguridad de las Escuelas
Bullying, Cyberbullying, Abusive Conduct, Harassment, Hasing, Discrimination and Retaliation
The Board of Education is committed to providing a safe and orderly environment for all students that promotes respect, civility, and dignity. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the educational environment of Park City schools is free from Bullying, Cyber-bullying, Harassment, Hazing & Retaliation.
Bullying, Cyberbullying, Harassment, Hazing, Discrimination and Retaliation Policy
Anonymous Reporting
We recognize that fear of retaliation prevents many students from telling about incidents. Treasure Mountain Junior High offers a way to report incidents anonymously. To make an anonymous report, go to the Report Incident page of our website.
Please recognize that, because anonymous reporting doesn’t allow follow-up questioning, it may lack effectiveness. If you don’t see a change in behavior after reporting it, please talk to an administrator, your counselor, or another adult at TMJH.
Schedule Changes
Student Schedules and Change Policy
It is important to realize that the TMJH master schedule is based upon the student requests made in spring of the previous year. In order to be fiscally responsible, the number of course sections within each subject area are based on these projections. School Counselors spend a considerable amount of time in the spring ensuring students have the required core courses and their chosen electives or alternates, as requested. When a first choice elective or alternate selection is not able to fit in a student’s schedule, the counselor meets directly with the student to find a solution. Once requests are scheduled, it is difficult to make a schedule change because many classes will be at or near capacity. Therefore we anticipate minimal options for schedule changes.
Class Caps
Academic classes will be capped at 32 students. PE classes will be capped at 37 students. Once classes reach these caps, they will be considered full and students will no longer be placed in them. Because of this, customizing schedules, schedule changes, and withdrawals and enrollments will be subject to class availability; students may not be placed in their first-choice electives if those classes are closed. In addition, we may deny open enrollment applications if we cannot offer students a full schedule due to lack of available space.
Schedule Errors:
School Counselors and/or the Registrar will be available to meet with students/parents during Back-to-School Registration in August when one of the following ERRORS has occurred:
-
Enrolled in a course you have already completed and received credit
-
Enrolled in a course for which you have not met the prerequisite
-
Do not have a full schedule of 8 classes
-
Received a course you did not request as an original or alternate during registration (registration forms are kept in the counseling office for reference)
-
Want to move up or down a level in a core course (per teacher recommendation)
Student Request for Schedule Change:
Once the school year is underway, students may only request a schedule change during the first five (5) school days of the quarter, and during the last five (5) days of the semester to make a change for the next semester. The only time a schedule change is made outside of the scheduling window is for unusual circumstances in collaboration with a parent, teacher, administrator, counselor, and student. Some examples could include: medical condition/504 Plan, IEP, CCR, Safe School Violation or a new transfer student to TMJH.
-
Courses may not be changed after midterm.
-
Changes will not be made for preferred lunch, teacher, or to be scheduled with a friend.
-
Because of the impact and disruption changes have on class size and to ensure the balance of class loads, class capacities will not be overfilled.
-
Procedure to request a schedule change:
-
Process begins in the Counseling Office
-
Student fills out a Schedule Change Request Statement
-
Student requested schedule changes, not involving errors, must be approved by the grade-level administrator
-
-
Counselor meets with the student
-
Counselor meets with the student’s teacher, who will provide the counselor with background info, etc.
-
Counselor facilitates a possible meeting between the student, parent, and teacher
-
Involved parties try to rectify the situation in 5-10 more class sessions
-
If still a problem, counselor looks to see if the requested change is even a possibility
-
Team (parent, student, counselor, admin, teacher) decides if the student is eligible for the schedule change
-
