Some classrooms on wheels made their way to kindergarten and first-grade students at Antelope Canyon Elementary School on Tuesday. That’s because school bus drivers are on a mission to make this school year as safe as possible, teaching students how to get on and off the big yellow school bus safely and much more.

At Antelope Canyon students watched a fun safety video inside, then headed outside where they practiced boarding and exiting the school bus and learned the importance of staying seated while on the bus with hands on their laps and feet on the floor. They also learned why they should always stay in the driver’s line of sight and never run behind the bus. Finally, the students participated in emergency evacuations and found out how to cross safely at a crosswalk.

School bus drivers are talking to elementary school students across Jordan School District and hope the personalized safety lessons will save lives.

Thanks to our school bus drivers and Transportation safety education team. Keep up the great work.

They work tirelessly to make sure all students succeed and now Mountain Ridge High School, Herriman High School, an ML task force, and Language and Culture Services are being recognized for their hard work.

The State Board of Education honored both Mountain Ridge and Herriman High with a 2025 USBE Graduation Rate for Students Learning English Certificate. The two JSD high schools had graduation rates higher than the state average of 88% with more than 40 students learning English in their individual 2025 graduating classes. Mountain Ridge had a graduation rate of 89.09% for students learning English and Herriman High had a graduation rate of 89.87% for English language learners.

Congratulations to everyone for their hard work on school consultations, family engagement, celebrations of WIDA, and having such a significant impact on the families and students.

Students at Fox Hollow Elementary School are already looking to the future, thinking about the perfect profession they want to be successful in one day. As part of their “World Dreamer’s Week” celebration, students dressed up like adults in careers they hope to pursue one day.

There were students dressed up, dreaming of becoming professional soccer, football, and basketball players, along with Olympic medalists, police, firefighters, and members of the military. One student’s dream is to be a ballet dancer, while another hopes to become an airline pilot. Even Principal Amy Adams got in on the fun. When Ms. Adams isn’t following her passion working with students as the school principal, she is thinking of another dream job. Principal Adams dressed up as a Costco Sample Associate, someone who dishes free tasty treats at the store.

Dream big and reach for the stars Fox Hollow Elementary School students, during World Dreamer’s Week and always!

It is a mealtime moment of pride for students at Silver Crest Elementary School. Once a month, teachers nominate one student from every class to be recognized for an act of kindness, hard work leading to academic success, or simply being a good Silver Crest student. Every student nominated is then invited to enjoy a “Kindness Rocks” lunch with the principal.

Principal Patty Bowen has a great time at the special lunch, greeting the honorees, then reading the reason their teachers say they should be recognized. McDonald’s provides lunch, and to everyone’s delight, the tasty meal comes with a fun toy for each student as well.

Congratulations to Silver Crest students for their kindness, always striving for success and being good to one another. Thanks to Principal Bowen for recognizing the rock stars with her “Kindness Rocks” lunch.
