Bulldog Broadcast Judge Parent Email: August 11, 2016
To our Judge Memorial Catholic High School Friends and Families,
The school year is upon us! We are entering our 96th year of providing a rigorous and faith-filled education to the children of Utah. We appreciate the trust you have in our teachers to provide the care and guidance throughout the year. Our faculty is recharged and ready to deliver.
We are entering the Twentieth Week of Ordinary Time. Throughout this week the Gospel readings focus on charity and service. The ease of a camel passing through the eye of needle prompts many of the listeners to reflect upon their own devotion to charity. This call for charity and service will continue to be a part of our school’s mission throughout the year.
The new student orientation will take place on Friday, August 12. There are many wonderful people helping to make this a memorable day for our incoming students. We look forward to welcoming the students as they begin their high school experience with us.
On Saturday, August 13 at 10:00am, we are excited to welcome you to our “Red and Gold” football game. This intra-squad game has been a tradition at Judge Memorial for half a century and has always been a great way to start the year.
Monday is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Saturday is the Remembrance of Saint Bernard
Peace to you and your family during this exciting time. Go Bulldogs!
Blessings,
Patrick Lambert, Principal
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!”

A late arrival will be excused if the parent or guardian has sent a written note or email (reck@judgememorial.com) with a legitimate reason for the late arrival. If no excuse is received within 48 hours, a detention will be assigned.
4. HOW TO: reminders on campus safety
Entrance to the school building during school hours is restricted to the northeast doors on 1100 East. All visitors to Judge Memorial, including parents/guardians and family members, are to report to the main office upon arrival at school. Visitors are to utilize the buzzer and identify themselves to the main office before they will be buzzed in and permitted entrance to the building. Once inside, visitors are to report to the main office where an identifying badge will be distributed to the visitor; this badge must be kept visible at all times while at Judge.
5. HOW TO: reminders on class change policy
Elective class change requests will open for the first three days of each semester. A form will be available in the counseling office at that time. If a class change can be accommodated, students will be moved by the end of the first week of classes. Please keep in mind a class change may result in a student moving into a different section with a different teacher of their core classes. This may require the purchase of new textbooks. Please note that core class changes are limited to level placement (up or down) and are made in conjunction with the counselor and with the approval of the assistant principal. Students are not permitted to drop classes for free periods at anytime during the school year. Course changes due to school error will be corrected.
