We want to say THANK YOU to Jaron Davis, the manager at the new Les Schwab here in Santaquin, for nominating Orchard Hills Elementary to receive a free assembly from Mike the Magician! It was such a joy to see the excitement and awe on the faces of our students. Both students and staff loved every minute of it! We are so grateful for the wonderful support we receive from our amazing Santaquin community.
Nebo District is offering a mental health screener for students on the evening of September 29, 2025, at Diamond Fork Middle School from 4 pm to 8 pm. We will be using Terrace Metrics software to measure mental and emotional strengths, as well as screen for anxiety, depression, trauma, and suicidal ideation of students in grades 6-12. Students in grades 3-5 may participate to be screened for mental and emotional strengths, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
If you would like to participate please sign up here for an appointment. The assessment tool takes an average of 15 minutes to complete. Afterward, you and your student will meet with a school counselor or social worker to discuss the results of the assessment and receive resources as needed.

Prior to taking the mental health screener, a consent form needs to be completed by the parent/guardian. The consent form will be available upon arrival at the screener event.
If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor.
Sincerely,
RaShel Shepherd, Ed.D.
Coordinator of Student Success
