Last month, six Jordan School District teams competed in three events at the Utah Esports Finals. All the teams put in a great effort, two placed in their competitions. The Bingham High School League of Legends Team took second in their competition, and The Copper Hills High School Smash Team placed fourth in the state.
Congratulations to those who competed in the State tournament.
It is National School Nurse Week, a week to recognize and say thanks to our hard-working school nurses.
Our nurses are responsible for the health and well-being of thousands of students throughout Jordan School District.
They serve our schools by teaching staff about important health care matters, doing vision screenings, Individual Health Care Plans, treating our students with allergies, diabetes, asthma and many other conditions. They participate in 504 meetings, IEP meetings, State School Nursing meetings, and so much more.
Our school nurses work hard, and do it with smiles on their faces! We could not do the important work we do as a District without our amazing school nurses.
Don’t forget to thank your school nurse this week!
It
is a program bringing students of all abilities together creating a fast and meaningful path to fun, friendship and understanding. First Lady Abby Cox was on hand as Jordan School District launched the first ever “Unified Golf” program in the State of Utah.
“Unified Golf” is an opportunity for middle school students with and without disabilities to come together as friends and play together on a team in competitive golf. The Glenmoor Golf Course team has been working hard to make “Unified Golf” a reality. Students received a quick lesson in using a golf club, swinging, putting and just enjoying the game and each other.
This program, which is part of Unified Sports, is a statewide effort to foster greater empathy and understanding of students with disabilities and to encourage more inclusion and opportunities for all students.
They are up before dawn and always ready to serve up smiles and provide nutritious meals for students and staff every single day. Join us in celebrating and saying a sincere thank you to school breakfast and lunch staff throughout Jordan School District. School Lunch Hero Day is a chance to showcase the difference school nutrition professionals make in the lives of students. They play an important role in fueling young minds so students can learn.
Thank you for simply being the best. We love our school lunch heroes!
Teacher Appreciation Week is an opportunity for everyone to honor educators for their dedication to a job that is extremely rewarding and requires hard work as well.
On this special “Teacher Appreciation Week” episode of the Supercast, we find out what it takes to be a teacher, with an inside look at the District’s Teacher Ed Program offered at JATC South in Riverton.
