Ballet West 2016-17 Student In-Theater Presentations
Ballet West will once again be providing student in-theater presentations at the Capitol Theater during the 2016-17 school year as follows:
Please note that November 10, December 6, and February 22 are field trip busing moratorium dates.
Although these performances are provided free of charge, Ballet West will not be subsidizing busing as they have in the past. However, all attendees may request a student/teacher workshop to supplement their attendance at a Ballet West student in-theater presentation.
To request a student in-theater presentation, please contact Verlene Jensen at 801-567-8296 or verlene.jensen@jordandistrict.org.
If you have not had the opportunity to attend and receive training on the changes in the Home & Hospital program, please attend one of the following forums:
Wed., Sept. 28th @ 9:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m.
Thurs., Sept. 29th @ 9:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m.
Each site has been asked to send an administrator to attend one of the sessions.
See flyer below.
Constitution Day commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution by thirty-nine brave men on September 17, 1787. Each school is required to, in some way, commemorate Constitution Day each year.

Instrument Purchase and Repair
Effective the July 1, 2016, the purchase and repair of instruments will be the schools’ responsibility. An additional $1,710 for middle schools and $5,700 for high schools has been added to the District equipment allocation. Schools should use this allocation to purchase instruments.
Previously, schools were required to turn fees collected for instrument rentals into the District to be used for instrument repairs Districtwide. Effective July 1, 2016, fees collected for instrument rental should be retained by the school to pay the costs of instrument repairs.
Based on these changes, schools should no longer submit requests to the District for instrument purchases or repair nor should they send in student fees collected for instrument rental.
