South Valley Students Receive VIP Treatment Getting Ready for Luau-Themed Fall Dance

Posted on

It is going to be an exciting evening for South Valley students as they enjoy a luau-themed fall dance complete with a tropical night of fun, music, food, volleyball, island vibes, and lots of beachy fun.

Prior to the dance, students got the VIP treatment from Taylor Andrews Academy of Hair Design. They had their hair styled in trendy and fashionable looks; others received a quick cut from the Taylor Andrews team. Then there were nails to be painted and makeup applied to match the awesome outfits students will be wearing.

Thank you to Taylor Andrews for taking care of these amazing students. We wish everyone at South Valley a night full of magic and memories!

There were hugs, smiles, and a few tears – from both parents and children – as elementary and middle schools from across Jordan School District opened their doors for the first day of the 2025-26 school year.

From the seniors who comprise the soon-to-be class of 2026 to the kindergartners who are embarking on their first day on the way to becoming the class of 2038, we hope every one of the over 57,000 students in each of Jordan District’s 68 schools has an incredible school year!

We are so excited to welcome students back for the 2025-26 school year. Jordan School District high school students were greeted with heartfelt cheers, high fives, big smiles, and fist bumps as they made their way to the first day of classes.

It was orientation day for 7th grade students at our middle schools. We are excited to support them in their transition from elementary school and hoping they find success in their new academic adventures.

Welcome back students, teachers, and staff! Have the best year ever.

South Valley School Staff Builds Camaraderie with Building Blocks

Posted on

Educators at South Valley School got together for some team building using building blocks to kick off their year. The school theme for the year is “Building the Future Together,” and the educators took this theme literally as they worked in groups to build the fastest LEGO car at their staff welcome meeting.

A special congrats goes to the team of Ms. Egan, Mr. Holdaway, Ms. Lane, Ms. Roylance, and Ms. Ward of Class 3. Their LEGO racer proved to have the best aerodynamics and the most muscle under the hood, placing them on the top step of the podium. Have a great school year South Valley, and keep building up your students brick by brick!
