JSD-Arts Representatives for 2022-23

This year we will continue to have two District Arts Representatives (DARTS) represent your school throughout the 2022-23 school year. We have appreciated the work of past DARTS representatives and how they have helped strengthen arts instruction in your schools. Meaningful progress toward a greater level of arts integration has been made, and we wish this to continue.

DARTS meetings will be held on the following dates: September 21, October 19, November 16, January 18, February 15, March 15, and April 19. The meetings will be held at the Auxiliary Services Building Auditorium from 4:30-6:30 p.m. 

Please assign up to two classroom teachers to serve as your school’s DARTS representatives by either selecting a grade-level team, or two teachers from different grade levels. The DARTS representatives will meet once a month for two hours to learn and collaborate. Teachers will be paid at the inservice rate and will earn relicensure points  (Note: In addition to the two regular classroom teachers, your school's BTS arts educator will also be attending the DARTS sessions). 

Please email the names of your choices for the JSD DARTS Team for the 2022-23 school year to linda.gold@jordandistrict.org as soon as possible.

SUBJECT:  
Summer Pool Hours for Elementary Head Administrative Assistants

Elementary school head administrative assistants have up to eighty (80) hours to use during the summer months. These hours remain optional and flexible and are to be used in coordination with the school principal.

It is suggested the hours be spread out over the summer months and be used to keep registration current in Skyward and address other matters that typically build up over the summer months (voicemails, purchase verifications, timesheets, etc.). These hours should not be used for summer school coverage. The hope is that these summer hours will aid the school in a successful opening for the students.

The hours should be reported through True Time under the heading “Contract Pool Hours” and will be charged to account number: 10 E xxx 0050 2483 152.
