SUBJECT:  
Custodian of the Month for 2016-2017

The Custodial Department is sponsoring the “Custodian of the Month” award.  We want to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of our custodians.  We are asking that you or a member of your staff write a letter explaining why your custodian deserves this award and why they are a valuable member of your staff. (See attached Employee of the Month Nomination Form)

Please keep this nomination confidential.  We want this to be based on merit; not campaigning for the award by the custodian.  Assistants may also be nominated if you feel you have an assistant who deserves this award.

The custodian who is chosen for the month will receive a certificate of recognition from the Custodial Department and Advisory Committee.  We would like this award to be presented in a faculty meeting.  We hope to be able to recognize the good work that is being done by our excellent custodians.

Nominations are due to the Custodial Director, Steve Peart by the 25th of every month.  If you have any questions, you may contact Steve Peart, Alicea Fratto or Sally Forman at 801-567-8740.

Thank you for your support and helping us acknowledge the superior custodians who work for Jordan School District.

SUBJECT:
CPR/First Aid Certification

Jordan School District requires that at least 3 employees in each building be certified in CPR and First Aid.  Most certifications are valid for 2 years.  It is also recommended that employees who will have direct responsibility for student health and safety be CPR/First Aid certified.  This may include front office staff, playground aides, hall monitors, P.E. teachers, etc.  It is also recommended that you keep a list of current CPR/First Aid certified staff members by all main phone lines where calls for emergency help may originate.  A template is attached.

CPR, First Aid, and AED training and certification is now available to district employees in an online format through the National Safety Council (NSC).  The attached memo will outline the steps necessary to complete the online portion of the course.  The cost of the course is $19.95 and should be paid by the employee at the time of registration.  Schools may provide reimbursement for the course, if funds are available, by following appropriate pre-approval and reimbursement procedures.

Once the online course is completed, employees may sign up to complete their certification by attending a 2 hour skills check session with our district nurses.  To sign up for a skill check, you will need to register with JPLS under CPR/First Aid/AED skill check. All skill checks must be completed within 45 days of sign-up for the online course.  The dates and times for the skill check sessions are listed on the attached flyer.

Please complete the attached CPR/First Aid certification form and return it to the Educational Support Services office by November 15, 2016.

JSD-Arts Representatives for 2016-17

This year we will continue to have two Arts Representatives (DARTS) represent your school throughout the 2016-17 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.

The newly revised Utah Fine Arts Core Standards will be the focus of our JSD-Arts work this year. The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) adopted the final revision on April 15, 2016.  The USBE designated the 2016-2017 school year for partial implementation with full implementation in the 2017-2018 school year. It is important that teachers become aware of the changes in the Fine Arts Core Standards.

Please assign at least two teachers to serve as your school’s DARTS representatives by either selecting a grade-level team, or two (or more) 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.

Please provide the names of your choices for your JSD-Arts Team for the 2016-17 school year by September 2, 2016.
