2026-27 Calendar Option Survey

Jordan School District is seeking your input as we work to establish school calendars for the 2026-27 school year. Two calendar options have been created for the 2026-27 school year and we are inviting parents, students, and employee groups to participate in a survey which will provide us valuable feedback before a final calendar is approved by the Board of Education.

School calendars in the District are developed by a committee of parents, teachers, education support professionals, and administrators.

Please visit the link below to review and rate each of the 2026-27 calendar options. The survey link will be active until 8 a.m. on Monday, April 21, 2025.

Be Safe In School Zones This Spring

As warm weather arrives, more students will be walking to and from school. It’s crucial to prioritize safety while commuting. Please follow these guidelines at crosswalks and school zones:

  • Wait for the crossing guard’s signal before proceeding.
  • Always stop when the crossing guard is in the crosswalk.
  • Do not park or stop in a crosswalk.
  • Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk; a pedestrian may be crossing.
  • Always follow posted speed limits in school zones.
  • Be patient during busy school hours; allow extra time when dropping off or picking up students.
  • Watch for children throughout the day, as they can be unpredictable.
  • Never text and drive.

By adhering to these safety practices, we can ensure a safe end to the school year. Let’s make safety a priority every time we’re on the road!

Celebrating National School Librarian Appreciation Day

Our school libraries are much more than just a place for students to check out books. They are spaces to discover knowledge and adventure, complete homework, explore new interests, and foster creativity and curiosity. All of this is made possible by the dedicated librarians who transform the school library into a welcoming hub at the heart of our schools.

To celebrate National School Librarian Appreciation Day today, we invited several of our wonderful school librarians to share one of their favorite books and explain why they love it.

Celebrating Paraprofessional Appreciation Day

It’s time to take a moment and thank all of the amazing paraprofessionals working in our Jordan School District schools. Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is Wednesday, April 2. It is a day to recognize and honor the hard work and dedication of paraprofessionals, also known as teacher aides, instructional assistants, or classroom assistants. These valued employees support teachers and students in the classroom and their contributions are invaluable.

On this day, and every day, we say a sincere thank you to paraprofessionals for their patience, support, and positive attitudes. You make a difference in education!

Mountain Shadows Elementary School Students “Seize the Day” with Newsies Jr. Production

The gymnasium at Mountain Shadows Elementary School was transformed into turn-of-the-century New York City as students performed the musical Newsies Jr. The production is based on the 1992 Disney film Newsies, which tells the story of the newsboys’ strike of 1899 after publishers raised prices at their expense. 

The production was the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by more than 70 students, who have been making props, memorizing lines, choreographing dances, and perfecting songs since September. An amazing group of parent volunteers supported them, providing snacks, costumes, and more. 

Congratulations to all involved including:

  • Director/Music Director – Norlene Hamann
  • Producer – Tina Susuico
  • Music – Kim Wadsworth
  • Stage Crew – Jayson Hassler and Mark Duerden
  • Production, Financing, and Concessions – Mountain Shadows Elementary School Community Council
