They work tirelessly to give students every opportunity to find success in and outside of the classroom. Please join us in congratulating the school counseling team at Mountain Creek Middle School for being recognized as an American School Counselor (ASCA) Model Program. It is called a RAMP designation (Recognized ASCA Model Program) and the designation is only given to counseling teams demonstrating exemplary, data-driven, and comprehensive school counseling programs.

“This year’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, ASCA executive director. “These schools used data to drive their program development and implementation so all students can achieve success. The RAMP  designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to strive for excellence.”  Mountain Creek Middle School will be honored at a recognition ceremony at ASCA’s Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA., on July 13, 2025.

Keep up the great work, Mountain Creek Middle team! We are proud of your kindness, compassion, and dedication to the job, making a difference in the lives of students every single day.

There was a lot of fun reading going on at Heartland Elementary School for Read Across America Week. Books like “The Cat in the Hat,” “Fox in Socks,” and “Horton Hears a Who,” took center stage being read by community leaders, police and firefighters, West Jordan Mayor Dirk Burton,       and Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. The special guests were escorted by student chaperones, from classroom to classroom, where they enjoyed reading some Dr. Seuss classics to kids from kindergarten to sixth grade.

Read Across America Week is celebrated from March 2 – 6, and it begins on the birthday of the beloved author, Dr. Seuss. The entire month of March is dedicated to reading and encouraging students to read, educating people about the benefits of reading, especially among children and young adults.

We appreciate every opportunity to promote literacy in our schools and are grateful to those in the West Jordan community who participated in Read Across America Week, some in themed costumes, taking time to read to students at Heartland Elementary. Your support makes a difference in our schools!
