JATC North and South Campuses were crowded with students and families who arrived looking to learn more about the many programs offered at each location. Thanks to everyone who attended the JATC Open House. It was a chance to explore career pathways in everything from Aviation Science, Computer Programming, Criminal Justice, Fire Science, Dental Assistant, Digital Media and more.

If you were not able to attend the JATC Open House, you can still explore the many educational options by visiting jordantech.org.

It was a fun night for members of the community to come together and explore a wide variety of job opportunities in Jordan School District. The “Jordan Job Fair” showcased current job openings at every school and department throughout JSD. Principals, administrators and other staff were on hand to answer questions and meet potential job candidates.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to everyone involved in organizing and supporting the “Jordan Job Fair.” If you missed the job fair and would still like to apply for a job in one of our schools or departments, please visit employment.jordandistrict.org

We hope to hear from you soon!

She is described as a teacher who puts in endless hours to make lessons and learning engaging for her students. Because of her hard work, passion, and inspiring students to succeed, Joel P. Jensen teacher Mandy Truscott has been named the latest “Most Valuable Educator” and was honored during Monday night’s NBA game between the Utah Jazz and Charlotte Hornets.

Mrs. Truscott was surprised by the honor and received a personalized Utah Jazz jersey and a $1,000 classroom grant from Instructure, the parent company of Canvas.

The nomination said Mrs. Truscott puts in countless hours to help her students improve their reading skills. She teaches remedial reading classes and each year her students average about three years’ worth of growth in their test scores.

Mrs. Truscott was not only a special guest at Monday night’s NBA game, she will attend an awards dinner with the Jazz and Instructure at the end of the season.

Congratulations, Mrs. Truscott! Keep up the great work, you make the District and your students proud.

It was a day to celebrate everyone who supports students, teachers, and education by donating to and being involved with the Jordan Education Foundation. The Foundation held its annual Donor Appreciation Luncheon at the JATC South in Riverton. Guests were able to visit a variety of educational booths, which featured different programs donors support, programs that make a big difference in the lives of students and teachers.

The theme of the luncheon was “The Power of Connection.” JEF Executive Director Mike Haynes made the opening remarks welcoming everyone, thanking donors for using the power of connection to unite as a community supporting students, teachers, classrooms, staff, and a growing number of refugee families throughout Jordan School District. Superintendent Anthony Godfrey and JEF Board President Dawn Ramsey also talked about the important work donors support and the difference they make in education.

A sincere thank you to everyone using “The Power of Connection” to better the lives and education of students in Jordan School District!
