They are incredible students at an incredible school. That’s why some superheroes calling themselves the “Incredibles” were on hand at Jordan Ridge Elementary as they held a kickoff assembly for the upcoming PTA jogathon. The “Incredibles” attended a school called Incredible Ridge and they wanted to inspire Jordan Ridge students to do their best in the Jogathon, using synergy and working together to achieve their goals. Students also found out about some amazing prizes that will be up for grabs during the Jogathon.

This year, Jordan Ridge is going above and beyond for their Jogathon, hoping to help support students with special needs at the Kauri Sue Hamilton School as well. Because Kauri Sue doesn’t have its own PTA, Jordan Ridge Elementary is reaching out to people and businesses in the broader community, encouraging them to make a donation to Kauri Sue (through the Jordan Education Foundation) so Jordan Ridge and others can show the students with special needs how much they care.

Way to go Jordan Ridge! Best of luck during this year’s PTA Jogathon on September 17.

As we dive into the 2024-25 school year, let’s make safety our top priority for students, parents, and staff walking to and from our schools and buildings. Remember to watch for pedestrians and follow safety laws at crosswalks and school zones.

At school crosswalks:

• Wait for the crossing guard’s signal before proceeding.
• Always stop when the guard is in the crosswalk, even if your lane appears clear.
• Don’t park or stop in a crosswalk.
• Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk; a pedestrian may be crossing.
• Stay focused by eliminating distractions. Whether adjusting the temperature, eating, or chatting, save these tasks for when you’re safely pulled over.
• Never text and drive.

Patience is critical, especially during busy school hours. If dropping off or picking up students, allow extra time and avoid rushing or honking at pedestrians in crosswalks.

Keep a watchful eye out for children at all times of the day. They can be unpredictable, so proceed cautiously and be ready to stop if needed.

By working together and following these safety practices, we can make this school year the best and safest yet. Your dedication to safety is vital in achieving this goal. Let’s make safety a priority every time we hit the road.

Classrooms across Jordan School District are buzzing with the activity and energy of students as elementary and middle school students return for the 2024-2025 school year. High school and 7th-grade students were welcomed back to school yesterday.

Today also marked the opening of Jordan School District’s newest school, Juniper Elementary, in Herriman City. The school opened its doors to over 500 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. JSD now has 68 schools and over 57,000 students.

The school year ahead will be filled with unforgettable memories and continued student achievement. Welcome back, students. We are so happy you are a part of the Jordan School District!

It was rise and shine and back to school for 14,826 high school students in Jordan School District. Today marked the beginning of the 2024-25 school year for high school students, teachers, and staff.

 At West Jordan High, Principal Mike Hutchins, Assistant Principal Noelani Ioane, student body officers, and cheerleaders arrived before the sun was up to show school spirit and pride live on KSL-TV and Fox 13 News.

 At all of our high schools today was the start of making new memories, new friends, and what we hope will be a safe and very successful school year.

 With so many students back, we want to remind everyone to use caution, be vigilant, and drive safely around schools. Stop for students and crossing guards in crosswalks and obey all the rules around school buses.

 We can’t wait to welcome all elementary and middle school students back tomorrow!
