Thank You, School Nurses, on this National School Nurse Day!

JSD School NursesJoin us in taking some time to say “thank you” to a school nurse today. This is National School Nurse Day. It’s a day to recognize our hard-working school nurses who go above and beyond every single day.

Our nurses are responsible for the health and well-being of thousands of students throughout Jordan School District. School nurses also 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.

Thank you, school nurses! Keep up the caring and compassionate work you do for students in all of our schools.

Superintendent Godfrey Celebrates Educators Throughout Jordan School District

It is National Teacher Appreciation Week, a time to reflect on the hard work, dedication, and endless hours educators devote to students in Jordan District schools.

Recently, Superintendent Godfrey visited every one of our 68 schools to celebrate teachers and join the Jordan Education Foundation in recognizing “Outstanding Educators of the Year.”

We invite you to watch this video honoring outstanding educators.

Happy National Teacher Appreciation Week!

Please take the time to give Jordan School District teachers a big thank you this week as we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week 2023.

This is a week for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make in the lives of students. We thank all JSD teachers for their kindness, generosity, and patience working with students. We honor teachers for their dedication to the job and willingness to try new things.

We also want to thank our substitute teachers for the important work they do in our classrooms, supporting education and students throughout the District.

We appreciate JSD teachers every single day!

Night of Fun, Laughter, Pies in the Face, and Community Support at Aspen Elementary

Aspen Elementary Fun RunIt was a night to remember at Aspen Elementary School as everyone came together to have some fun and support a good cause. The PTA fundraiser “Color Run” was a huge success. Families and others in the Aspen Elementary School community showed up and managed to raise more than $17,000 for the PTA.

Principal Suzie Williams was a good sport, sitting down to get slimed along with several teachers  who had pie thrown in their faces. Even the fire department participated in the fun and everyone had a great time!

Congratulations to everyone involved in supporting the Aspen Elementary School PTA.
