It’s that time of year, time to register your child for kindergarten and get them on the path to future success in a Jordan School District kindergarten classroom!

Children must be 5 years old on or before September 1 to enroll for kindergarten. (Utah Code 53G-4-401) This is state law. The only exception is for a military student* who does not meet the deadline if the student has previously attended kindergarten or a higher grade as a resident in another state.

Parents may contact their local schools as early as January if a child in the family will be attending school in the upcoming school year as a kindergartener.  If you need to know what school your child would attend, visit our Boundary & Bus Stops page.

Children registering for the first time in Jordan School District will need to provide:

• an original or certified copy of the student’s birth certificate from the Bureau of Vital Statistics
• proof of immunization
• proof of residency
• proof of guardianship
• custodial parent/guardian picture ID

For any questions, contact Planning and Enrollment at 801-567-8183.
*Military student means a child enrolled in kindergarten through grade twelve who is legally residing in the household of an active duty service member or whose parent or legal guardian is an active duty service member (Utah Code §53E-3-903).

Emily Dow, Maya Flores, and Miles Garber, students in Mountain Ridge High School’s Chinese Bridge class, demonstrated their exceptional talent for the Chinese language at the 2023 High School Business Language Competition. They were guided by their advisor Ms. Wei, and their hard work earned them second place in the State among Chinese high school teams.

Even though they only had one week to prepare, the talented students withstood the pressure and achieved the impressive second place title. They had to develop a marketing plan and a corresponding report in Chinese for the competition. This was an important milestone as the Chinese students ventured beyond language and culture and showed commendable courage by taking on new tasks and challenges.

Congratulations to Emily, Maya, and Miles, for your outstanding achievements!
