Mother Nature gave us mountains of snow and it has been the monumental task of so many dedicated employees to clear sidewalks, parking lots, playgrounds and more.
Thank you to all who have helped in the snow removal process; custodians, mechanics, sweepers, principals, and other staff members. We appreciate all of you, and are so grateful for the enormous time and effort made to make sure the areas in and around our schools and buildings are cleared for students, teachers, and staff.
It is a total team effort at Transportation as school bus drivers, custodians, mechanics, transportation staff and others work hard to clear mountains of snow that piled up in and around Jordan District school buses.
Thank you to everyone involved in the snow removal process, we know it has been a monumental job! We appreciate all of you and your dedication to the job in what has been challenging weather conditions.

It was a fun and relaxing way to learn about Chinese culture and cuisine at Foothills Elementary School. Chinese Dual Language Immersion teacher, Yunliang Bao, organized a Chinese dumpling-making activity for teachers and anyone interested in learning how to make the delicious dumplings.
The Chinese DLI teachers have been working hard to integrate Chinese culture into the school, and decided a cooking lesson in the art of Chinese dumpling-making would be a real treat for teachers and staff. As part of the school’s Wellness Day activities, teachers put their cooking talents to the test, making home-made dumplings, cooking them, and eating the tasty morsels. They also received a side-order of lessons in Chinese culture and learned what Chinese DLI teachers for our community.
Keep up the great work in DLI at Foothills Elementary School.
In honor of “National School Counseling Week” we want to send a sincere message of thanks to the hard-working school counselors throughout Jordan School District. They go above and beyond every single day and work incredibly hard supporting students in so many different ways. As a token of appreciation for all they do, JSD counselors were treated to Crumbl cookies and a small gift pack letting them know “We Think You Rock!”
We encourage you to drop by your counseling center and show your gratitude by offering a word of thanks to the counseling staff. School counselors are here to help students by preparing students for future careers, academic advising, help with social/emotional development, and ensuring today’s students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow.
Thank you to all of our school counselors who are making a difference in the lives of Jordan School District students.
