2026-27 Stakeholder Input Survey Preview and Administration Materials

Jordan School District will be administering its own student, parent, and faculty/staff stakeholder input survey this year.  The student survey will be administered to all students in grades K-12.  The survey window opens Monday, November 2, 2026, and closes Tuesday, November 24, 2026.  Administrative assistants were asked to verify a list of licensed educators at their school location, which was due on Friday, October 9th.  Those verified and updated lists have now been added to the Stakeholder Input Survey.  If schools have hired licensed faculty since October 9, 2026, please contact Assessment, Research & Accountability as soon as possible so that we can update your school’s surveys before the survey window opens.  We will not be able to update the surveys once they go live.

To prepare for, and administer, the 2026-27 student, parent, and faculty/staff stakeholder surveys, please make sure the following activities are completed for each of the stakeholder input surveys:

Student Survey

  • There are two student surveys, one for students in grades K-3 and one for students in grades 4-6. Before students take the survey, a link to both of the student surveys needs to be placed on the computers in your computer lab(s) and/or Chromebooks. Assessment, Research & Accountability sent the links to the student surveys to Information Systems on Monday, October 26th.
  • Parents opted into their students taking the stakeholder input survey as part of the registration and enrollment procedure. To take the survey, students will enter their Skyward number.  If parents have opted them into taking the survey, the system will display the first question.  If parents have opted them out of the survey, they will be unable to continue further.
  • Schedule dates and times within the survey window for students in grades K-6 to take the survey under supervision. The surveys take 15-20 minutes to complete.
  • Distribute scripts to teachers or school personnel who will administer the survey to students. Please note: Teachers in the younger grades, especially in kindergarten and first grade, should anticipate reading the survey question items to students.  Survey administration time for younger students will likely take longer.

Faculty/Staff Survey

On Monday, November 2nd, individual licensed faculty and education support professionals will receive an email from Assessment, Research & Accountability with a link inviting them to participate in the Stakeholder Input Survey.  The email will be sent directly to school employees via Qualtrics.  Principals may consider notifying teachers and staff that such an email will be forthcoming.  School administrators will also receive the invitation email with the link to the faculty survey that they can distribute to school personnel as needed.

Parent Survey

On Wednesday, November 4th, parents will receive an email from Assessment, Research & Accountability with a link inviting them to participate in the Stakeholder Input Survey.  Schools may wish to send out a message via Parent Square with the link to the survey and/or post the link to the parent survey on school websites to increase parent response rates. School administrators will receive the invitation email with a link to the parent survey that they can distribute to parents as needed.

Survey Administration Materials:

The following survey administration materials may be found in this Google folder:

  • Survey administration instructions
  • Invitation letter for school personnel
  • Invitation letter for parents (English and Spanish)
  • Parent opt out form (OPTIONAL: To be used as needed since parents have already had a chance to opt their child out during fall registration)
  • Teacher script for the student survey
  • Question items for each of the surveys

School administrators may preview the surveys by using the links below.  We would ask that school administrators verify that all of the licensed classroom teachers and licensed support staff show up in the survey for your school.  If the survey is missing a licensed educator, please email Ben Jameson at ben.jameson@jordandistrict.org as soon as possible with the educator’s full name and position description (licensed classroom teacher or licensed support staff).  Once the survey goes live, we will not be able to make any changes to the survey.

* A new, updated sticker has been sent to your building through District mail.
* Please place the new sticker directly over the existing sticker.
* You do not need to replace the entire Labor Law poster.
* If you need additional stickers because your building has more than one U.S. Labor Law poster, please let us know, and we will send you additional stickers.

2. Remove the old ADA/Section 504 notice.
You may also have a laminated white notice displayed next to the Labor Law poster that says:

“NOTICE – Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.”

This notice is no longer required to be displayed. Please remove and dispose of this notice. A picture of this notice is also attached for reference.

Please make sure your building has:
*The U.S. Labor Law poster displayed with the new contact-information sticker in the top-right corner.
*The old ADA/Section 504 laminated notice removed.

If you have any questions, need additional stickers, or are unsure about which notice or poster we are referring to, please contact me.

Important Deadline--Please Read Immediately
SCRAM Data Due by the end of day Wednesday, November 4, 2026
Updating SCRAM for December 1 Funding Count

For the 2026-27 school year our procedure will be to Submit IEP (SCRAM) electronically through Embrace ONLY.

 Please be sure to Submit IEP (SCRAM) immediately after holding an IEP meeting or Amendments.

NEW PROCESS FOR CHANGES/CORRECTIONS:
Mark/Add changes and/or corrections ON the SCRAM report, sign it, and return to Jen Warkentine at the District Office. Do not Submit IEP (SCRAM) through Embrace for corrections, unless it’s for a NEW student or an Initial Eval.
Jen will verify the changes on the report and contact you if further action needs to be taken.
*Preschool/CDC, please refer to Merrie Allen for procedures.*
If you have any questions. Please contact the Teacher Specialist assigned to your school or Jen Warkentine, jen.warkentine@jordandistrict.org.

 Reminders:

  • Please take note of the date that the report was printed (top right corner) and be aware that if IEP (SCRAM) documents were submitted after the print date, they will not appear on the report, but submitting multiple events is not necessary and slows the entry process.
  • You must click Submit IEP button, to notify Jen Warkentine that there has been a change to the student's service and placement page, or the enrollment tracking.

This report reflects students served during the current school year. Carefully review the following:

Check mark (√ ) in front of the student’s name
Put a check mark in front of each student’s name, if ALL information is correct (the student is currently enrolled and scrammed at your school and receives the same special education/related services and minutes listed on the report). The SCRAM document must match the student’s active IEP.

  • If a student being served in special education is not on the SCRAM report, please Submit an IEP (SCRAM) document with the entry date reflecting the date services began for this school year by the end of day Wednesday, November 04, 2026. If they are not on this printout, they are not on record as receiving services at your school.
  • Cross out any students who are no longer receiving services at your school. Fill out the Enrollment tracking, and Submit an IEP (SCRAM) document. An IEP (SCRAM) can be submitted multiple times, so please be sure to click Submit IEP, to notify Jen Warkentine that there is a change to the enrollment. If an exit date is already listed in the SCRAM exit column on the report, nothing else needs to be done. Students who are released from services and are still active at your school will continue to appear on the report until the end of the year with the date they were exited from services.
  • If you are not aware of a student that is listed on the printout (and the student has not been exited from services), you should follow-up with that student who is now in your building. Sometimes teams are not aware of students who have entered their school and should be receiving services. Please Submit an IEP (SCRAM), which either identifies the services the student will receive or which exits the student from services (procedures must be followed for terminating a student from services).
  • If the IEP team has changed a student’s services, the changes must be documented on the Service and Placement page and a new IEP (SCRAM) document must be submitted by clicking Submit IEP. Remember that parents must be involved in any decision to amend IEP services and must receive a copy of the revised IEP.
  • Students classified as Developmentally Delayed (DD) must be re-classified prior to their 9th birthday (regardless of the 3-year re-evaluation due date). Students who maintain a DD classification after their 9th birthday cannot be submitted for funding and will not be counted towards your schools’ numbers for staffing purposes.

Every section of the Service and Placement page must be filled out completely, and IEP (SCRAM) document submitted, or the student’s record cannot be submitted to the State for funding (this includes the student number, school name, eligibility, all services and amount of time per week, start/end dates, environment and regular percent codes, health services, etc.). If information is missing, the record will not be sent to the State for funding counts.

Please make sure to correctly fill out the Assessment Addendum form, with current year and next year participation of the Alternate Assessment by marking PAA in the appropriate boxes, if the student will be taking the DLM/alternative testing as per their IEP. Additionally, students classified as EBD, SLI or SLD should not be marked as DLM/alternative testing, as the state does not consider them to have significant cognitive disability. If they do qualify, they will need to be re-classified.

We recognize that the timeline for submitting this required information is short, but all data must be entered into Skyward by December 1 to make the submission deadline for the Utah State Office of Education.

 If you have questions contact the Teacher Specialist assigned to your school or Jen Warkentine at (801)567-8207. Thank you for your conscientious efforts to complete this critical information. The deadline for returning SCRAM reports and all corrected information and/or new SCRAM information is listed below:

Notice of Upcoming Emergency Notification Drill – 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 16

Do you want to know if schools, District offices, and departments are closed due to a snow day this winter? Are you properly set up to receive emergency alerts in ParentSquare so you know when it happens?

Having up-to-date contact information is critical if you want to receive important messages. If your contact information is incorrect in Qmlativ Employee Access, you won’t receive essential alerts from both your school and Jordan District in the event of an emergency, severe weather event, or unexpected school or districtwide closure. 

Jordan School District will be conducting an emergency notification drill on Friday, Oct. 16 at 11 a.m. The purpose of this drill is to test our mass notification capabilities and ensure that all employees are properly set up to receive timely, accurate information during an unexpected emergency or school closure, like a snow day. The test will be conducted simultaneously through phone calls and SMS text messages. 

As referenced in JEM dated Aug. 18, 2026, all employees were asked to log into Qmlativ Employee Access to review and update their contact information. Our emergency alert system relies entirely on the contact information provided by you. If your details are outdated or inaccurate, the system will be unable to reach you. 

  • What to expect during the drill? 
    • What: Automated phone call and text messages, clearly identifying the communication as a DRILL/TEST.
    • When: Friday, Oct. 16, 2026 at 11 a.m.
    • Who: All employees 
  • What to do after the drill? 
    • Check with your co-workers to confirm if they received the test call and text message. 
    • If you did not receive the notification, log into Qmlativ Employee Access and follow the instructions in the JEM previously sent in August. 
    • Reach out to the Information Systems help desk if you have any trouble updating your phone contact information at 801-567-8737 or extension 88737.

Panorama Student Feedback Survey Dates, Opt-In Report & Survey Coordinator Resources

The Panorama Social-Emotional Wellness survey may only be administered to students whose parents have opted-in. Parents are asked to opt-in to the student feedback survey during the yearly school registration process. When the online registration process closes on Oct. 1 schools will need to manually enter the opt-in consent received after that date into Skyward. Attached is a digital copy of the parent opt-in consent from the online registration information.

2026-27 Panorama Survey Windows:

  • Fall- October 5, 2026-November 6, 2026
  • Winter- January 22, 2027 – February 19, 2027
  • Spring- April 19, 2027 – May 11, 2027

Action for Schools

  • School Panorama Survey Coordinators should print out the list of students who have opted-in and provide teachers administering the survey with the list of students in their classes that have opted-in. The student opt-in list can be accessed through Skyward using this data mining report.
    • Most secondary schools use the advisory period teachers to administer the survey and post the link panoramaed.com/utahjordan in Canvas or Google Classroom
    • Most elementary schools share the link panoramaed.com/utahjordan in Canvas or Google Classroom and use grade level teachers to administer the survey

The following information is provided to inform and assist you as you administer student surveys:

  • The list of students who may take the survey (opted-in) will be provided to Panorama before and at mid-window during the administration of the survey by Student Services. Only opted-in students will be able to log in and take the survey. If students are unable to login to take the survey, it is likely that they have not been opted-in. Teachers should refer to the list.
    • If there are students who are on the opted-in list, but are having log-in issues, the school survey coordinator should contact Panorama directly for assistance at support+utahjordan@panoramaed.com. Student Services does not have the ability to manage access to surveys.
  • Survey coordinators and administrators should view the Administering Panorama Survey presentation for information, instructions, and guidance regarding the student feedback surveys.
  • The updated Panorama Dashboard with your school data will be available 7 days after the survey window closes.

DLI STAMP Assessment and Training

School administrators are encouraged to send the following information to their DLI teachers.

Avant’s STAMP assessment is once again contracted with the state to provide DLI testing for the 2026-27 school year

The DLI STAMP assessment window opens on Monday, October 26th and closes on Friday, December 11th.  Of course, students won’t start testing until after fall break.

Assessment, Research & Accountability does not currently have access to Avant’s testing system and we do not know when we will have access or when we will be able to give teachers access.  That said, here is what we know:

The state’s testing ethics policy requires an annual training for all statewide mandated assessments. Thus, the following virtual training dates will be available for STAMP testing.  All DLI teachers or other school personnel who will be administering or assisting with the STAMP will need to attend one of the virtual trainings listed below:

Friday, 10/9 - 8:30 am or 1:30 pm
Friday, 10/16 - 8:30 am or 1:30 pm
Friday, 10/30 - 8:30 am or 1:30 pm
Friday, 11/6 - 8:30 am or 1:30 pm

Trainings will last approximately 45 minutes. All participants can join the virtual training using this Zoom link: https://jordandistrict-org.zoom.us/j/5266134800

Test Preparation: Students

  • The Utah STAMP website may be accessed here.
  • Sample tests are available in a variety of languages. It is strongly recommended that DLI teachers allow ample time for students to practice the STAMP assessment prior to test day.
  • Grades 3-5 students take the 4Se assessment while grades 6-9 take the 4S.
  • There are four subtests in the STAMP assessment: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing. Grade levels take two of the four assessments each year:

  • There are test taker videos for each subtest that students should watch prior to test day. The grades 3-5 test taker tutorial videos may be found here and the grades 6-9 test taker tutorial videos may be found here.

For questions about this STAMP information or test trainings, please contact Kassidy Towery in Assessment, Research & Accountability.  For questions about DLI, please contact Kaye Rizzuto in Teaching & Learning.

PreK to Kinder IEP Update

It has come to our attention that some incoming kindergarten students who previously attended preschool are not appearing on the Acadience testing lists.

To ensure these students are added correctly, an IEP meeting must be held by Friday, September 18, to update the student’s IEP goals and the Service and Placement page. A new SCRAM should then be submitted to Jen Warkentine. Submitting the SCRAM will ensure the student is added to the Acadience testing list.

If an IEP meeting was already held during the last couple of weeks of school in collaboration with the kindergarten resource team:

The kindergarten team should complete the following steps:

  1. Amend the IEP to update the environment code from Preschool to V – Regular School Setting.
  2. Update the Case Manager on the Student Info page.
  3. Submit a new SCRAM to Jen Warkentine.

Completing these steps will help ensure the student’s records are updated appropriately and that they are included on the Acadience testing list.

Please reach out to your teacher specialist if you have any questions or need help with this process.
