Free SWIG for Substitute Teachers and Nutrition Substitutes

Published on

Dear Substitute Teachers and Nutrition Substitutes,

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication during what has been one of the most challenging years in education.

Between February 11 and February 17, the District has arranged with SWIG for each employee to receive one free menu item when you present a JSD Honorary ID Badge Coupon at participating SWIG locations in Jordan District boundaries. Substitutes may obtain their SWIG Coupon from a District Receptionist at the District Office (7387 S. Campus View Drive, West Jordan) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

  • Participating Locations
    • Oquirrh - 11528 S 4000 W #101, South Jordan
    • Trail Crossing - 5462 W Daybreak Pkwy., Ste H1, South Jordan
    • South Jordan - 1573 W 11400 S, South Jordan
    • West Jordan - 7859 S 3200 W, West Jordan

As you are aware and to help manage the added stress, the District converted Friday, February 11, into a Health and Wellness Day for employees, students, and families in place of the Flex Friday previously scheduled. The Health and Wellness Day is for every employee.

On February 11, the District will be providing a Health and Wellness curriculum directly to parents and students so employees can focus on their own Health and Wellness.

Full-time school-based substitute teachers and long-term substitute teachers with a long-term assignment on February 11th will be paid for the day by choosing from the following three options while part-time at-will substitute teachers and nutrition substitutes will be limited to option two below.

  1. You can use the time to catch up. There will be no required meetings or student interactions on February 11. School meals and busing will not be provided.
  2. We will have optional resources available throughout the day to help you focus on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Zoom classes on stress management, dealing with anxiety, classroom management, and others will be offered. We will also be sponsoring in-person activities designed to help you connect with other employees and focus on your physical health. Watch your district email for additional details.
  3. You can choose to access annual leave or vacation time (for full-time benefited substitute teachers only) to take the day off. Absences will not count against no-pay-day limits and low absence incentive thresholds.

The Health and Wellness Day is for every employee.

Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication to students and education. If you have any questions, please contact Juli Martin, Administrative Assistant.
