Brand New Literacy Launch
We know when students learn to read in the younger grades, they can read to learn in the upper grades.
With that in mind, we launched a brand new literacy curriculum this year. All teachers are working harder than ever to provide a solid reading foundation so students are fluent in reading by the end of third grade.
2016 Bond Update – All Projects Completed
All six schools in the 2016 Bond Plan opened on time or ahead of schedule. They were under budget enough to help pay for a seventh new school, Antelope Canyon Elementary in West Jordan.
New Schools Funded by School District Capital Reserves
The Board of Education authorized the use of District capital reserves for the construction of three new schools to address overcrowding in high growth areas.
Increased Teacher Pay
The Board of Education approved increased base pay, a more flexible leave policy, and additional parent leave benefits for teachers.

Dear Parents,
Thank you for your support during what has been one of the most challenging years in education.
In order to focus on the wellbeing of students, families, and employees, Friday, February 11 will be converted from a flexible Friday to a Health and Wellness day.
The District will provide access to a range of online Health and Wellness information and curriculum for families and students of all ages. All materials will be emailed to parents directly so you can make choices about what resources provided to you would be most helpful and appropriate for members of your family.
Student work will not need to be submitted to the school or district. Families will be able to choose how they wish to engage with the materials provided. There will be no school meals, busing, or access to teachers on Friday, February 11.
We take seriously our role as a support to the primary learning that happens within the family. We hope you will find the time and resources helpful in promoting greater health and wellness in our community.
More information will be forthcoming. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Jordan School District
