Help Us Celebrate the Amazing School Counselors in Jordan School District
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. These dedicated men and women go above and beyond every single day, working hard to support students in so many different ways.

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 making a difference in the lives of Jordan School District students.
Celebrating the Arts: Eastlake Elementary Students Perform Dance for Legislators During Open House
The Beverley Taylor Sorenson (BTS) program recently held an open house for the Utah Legislature and community leaders at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City. One of the highlights during the evening was a captivating performance by students from Miss Beesley’s class at Eastlake Elementary School. The students showcased their dance skills, taught by Eastlake’s BTS educator, Ciara Brady. BTS artwork was also on display while students from other schools across the state showcased dance and drama performances.
The open house celebrated the incredible integration of various art forms with core academic content. Great job, Eastlake students and educators, for an excellent performance!
