Congratulations Maycee an Dylan!!

Please remember that our school opens at 8:00 a.m. each morning for breakfast.  Students should not be arriving earlier than 8, unless they are participating in an early morning class.  Students also need to be picked up promptly at the end of the day, 3:25 p.m. Monday - Thursday and 1:25 p.m. on Friday.  We have many students each day who are not picked up until 20 - 30 minutes after the bell rings.

Thanks for all you do to support our students!

If you have a child that will be five years of age on or before September 1, 2020, the child qualifies for next year’s kindergarten program. State law requires that all school districts in Utah abide by the same September 1st entrance cutoff date.

Enrollment is all online on JSD enrollment page..

Children registering for school will need to provide the following items:

• an Original or certified copy of the student's birth certificate from the Bureau of Vital Statistics
• proof of immunization
• proof of residency
• proof of guardianship
• custodial Parent/guardian picture ID

The main office will make copies of all of these documents from 8 am to 1 pm by appointment.  Please call 801-254-8000 ext 2 to schedule a time.

If you have neighbors who have qualifying Kindergarten children, please share this information and encourage them to call the school to get their children registered. Please enroll early!

Thank you for providing input regarding the proposal to alter the year-round calendar. We heard from over 1250 parents of year-round students. The survey indicates that an overwhelming percentage of teachers (86%) and parents (91%) support the proposal to continue online learning during off-track time, enabling year-round schools to be dismissed earlier for this school year. The Jordan School District Board of Education has given approval for this plan to move forward.

Beginning this Monday, April 13, 2020, all tracks will continue online learning during off-track time and dismiss as follows:

• Students on A track will be dismissed on Friday, May 29, 2020.
• Students on B, C, and D tracks will be dismissed on Friday, June 5, 2020.

If school resumes on May 4, 2020, off-track students will still continue online learning and will be released on the dates listed above.

Each teacher will contact parents with additional details for how online learning will continue during off-track time.

Thank you again for your valued input. We hope this plan helps parents with the additional flexibility they have asked for. Please call your school with any additional questions.
