Please take a minute to join Superintendent Godfrey and Jordan School District in thanking all of the Education Support Professionals working beside you today. This is Education Support Professionals Day honoring a long list of professionals who keep schools running smoothly. They include secretaries, classroom aides, cafeteria workers, maintenance workers, bus drivers, custodians and others who support educators, school leadership, and students in our schools. These professionals do their part in making public schools a place where students can be safe, learn, grow, and achieve.
Education Support Professionals perform a wide variety of jobs which promote quality education, foster positive learning environments, offer nutritious meals, provide reliable transportation and maintain safe and clean schools for everyone.
They are employees like Mountain Ridge High School head custodian Kevan Sprague who was selected as the Utah School Employee Association’s Outstanding Employee of the Year.
We appreciate our amazing Education Support Professionals today and every single day!
It is a celebration of both life and death and a chance to show love and respect for family members who have passed away. On Tuesday, Riverside Elementary School Spanish Dual Immersion classes helped to create a Dia de los Muertos Museum, organized by 3rd grade teacher Kathy Wride. Students were able to honor family members, including pets who have passed away, by creating alters for them. The alters were decorated with bright lights, colors, flowers, and photos of their loved ones, along with examples of their favorite foods or activities.
After a very rigorous and competitive selection process, Ross Rogers with Digital Teaching & Learning, has been selected to be part of the 2021-2023 cohort of the Utah Teacher Fellows Program.
