There were hugs, smiles, and a few tears – from both parents and children – as elementary and middle schools from across Jordan School District opened their doors for the first day of the 2025-26 school year.
From the seniors who comprise the soon-to-be class of 2026 to the kindergartners who are embarking on their first day on the way to becoming the class of 2038, we hope every one of the over 57,000 students in each of Jordan District’s 68 schools has an incredible school year!
The student parking lot at West Jordan High School has been upgraded with some pops of color and homages to everything from Red Bull to Hello Kitty.
Seniors at West Jordan paid for the opportunity to not only reserve a parking spot, but also give it a personal touch. During the last few days of summer vacation, students painted their parking space in a design of their choice, ranging from pop culture references and landscape designs to a QR code and a Utah license plate. Proceeds from each of the 48 parking stall personalizations will go to help fund student activities for the 2025-26 school year.
Kudos to the seniors who are sharing their creativity and artistic skills with not only the students and staff, but also the West Jordan community.
We are so excited to welcome students back for the 2025-26 school year. Jordan School District high school students were greeted with heartfelt cheers, high fives, big smiles, and fist bumps as they made their way to the first day of classes.
It was orientation day for 7th grade students at our middle schools. We are excited to support them in their transition from elementary school and hoping they find success in their new academic adventures.
Welcome back students, teachers, and staff! Have the best year ever.
Back-to-school night at Oquirrh Hills Middle School was filled with music, chatting with friends, talking with new teachers, and the sounds of muscle car engines. The theme of the upcoming year at Oquirrh Hills is “You Are In The Driver’s Seat” to encourage students to be in control of their education and the school hosted a car show with their back-to-school night to get everyone in the mindset. Students found lockers and classrooms inside and checked out some new and classic cars from their community outside of the school.
A special thank you goes out to Riverton Police Department for showcasing a pair of squad trucks and UTA for bringing a bus and educating the students about public transportation in the area.
Welcome back and have a great school year Oquirrh Hills Eagles!
The halls of Jordan District high school’s have come alive as back-to-school season is underway. Sophomore orientation allowed incoming students a chance to explore their new school, check out Chromebooks, get a yearbook photo, and say hello to old friends and make some new ones. Students could also meet student body officers and investigate all the clubs, sports, and extracurricular activities available to them.
Good luck to all Jordan School District sophomores in the upcoming school year as they prepare to write the next chapter in their education!
