Construction continues to move forward for six new schools in the District. There are changes almost daily thanks to significant progress being made. The new schools were promised in the voter-approved 2016 bond.

Here is our updated photo gallery of the new schools.

It was a fun time for students at Rosamond Elementary School as they participated in STEM activities, allowing them to use their scientific minds, while having fun.

Working with Rosamond teachers, students took on activities learning about coding, engineering, buoyancy, among other activities. They even had the opportunity to visit some interesting places through virtual reality!

During each activity, students were able to apply the concepts they have learned from their teachers during the year. And while they had a great time, they also found out that science, technology, engineering and math can be fun!

West Jordan Middle School recently launched a new program to help students who are out of school for the summer to give them some fun activities and extra support.

The proactive approach called ‘Summer of Support’ or S.O.S. will also provides students with lunch and counseling, if a student is struggling with loneliness during the long days of summer.

Rather than retire about a dozen old school buses to a junkyard, Jordan School District is offering them up to local first responders for some serious heavy rescue training.

The West Jordan Fire Department and a valley-wide heavy rescue team will use the buses to simulate dangerous situations where lives are on the line. For example, they will have a rollover scenario where the bus has tipped on its side, use the Jaws of Life and break windows in an effort to rescue victims trapped inside.

This is valuable training that could lead to lives saved in emergency situations on the bus.
