The summer break didn’t mean a break from learning for thousands of students in Jordan School District. That’s because they took advantage of educational opportunities offered throughout the summer including classes in math, science, biology, chemistry, physics and much more. The District also offered summer STEM camps at West Jordan Middle and Oquirrh Hills Middle. In addition, hundreds of students took advantage of the 1700 online courses offered over the summer, along with summer school classes at Valley High School.

Here are the summer numbers.

• USTAR Course Participants – 1,442 Students
• Online Course Participants – 700 Students
• Valley High School Summer School Participants – 421 Students
• Six Week Pre-Freshman Engineering Program Participants- 35 Students

We have new drone footage showing progress being made on the New West Jordan Middle School. Construction on the new school is on schedule with crews busy working on dry wall, installing electrical and mechanical systems and installation of the building’s roof. The new school will open in the 2019-20 school year.
