Mark your calendars! Our next JELL Sessions will be in December. The sessions will be through ZOOM but will be smaller sessions. Each school will have an assigned date (see below). We anticipate substitutes may still be an issue and social distancing will still be practiced; therefore, T&L will cover the costs of 3 substitutes per school. You may choose to include the same group from September’s session, rotate leadership team members or cover the substitute costs for additional leadership team members. Add the date to your calendar, reserve your substitutes, and watch for more information.

There has been a change to the process for attending and signing up for the mandatory assistant principal meetings for November and December 2020. As a reminder you only need to attend one of the sessions offered per month. Both sessions will provide the same information. The dates are the same November 5 (1:00-3:30pm), November 10 (8:00-10:30am), December 3 (1:00-3:30pm), and December 8 (8:00-10:30am). All meetings will be held in-person at the JATC-S. If you signed up in JPLS for the November meetings I have added your name to the session you had previously signed up for. If you haven't signed up for November, and everyone will need to sign up for December, please CLICK HERE and it will take you to the Google Doc that has the sign up sheets. If you have any questions please call Nadine Page at 801.567.8186 (x88186). Thank you!

The new Title IX regulations require anyone involved with Title IX issues to undergo specific training. Most often, the person involved with initial decisions related to Title IX allegations is the school principal. The Utah Division of Risk Management in cooperation with the Utah State Board of Education and the Office of the Attorney General has planned training for the new Title IX Regulations, with a particular focus on those responsible for initial decisions and for those responsible for the review of those initial decisions, as well as Title IX Coordinators. This training will fulfill the training mandated by the Title IX Regulations.

This new Title IX Regulations training is being offered as a virtual only training from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. with a 1-hour break for lunch, and all principals are encouraged to attend. Please select one of the training dates below.

October 27th 9 AM - 4 PM

October 29th 9 AM- 4 PM

November 10th 9 AM - 4 PM

November 12th 9 AM - 4 PM

You are invited to attend the annual Jordan School District Administrative Leadership Conference, “Be Curious, Be Intentional, Be United,” scheduled on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at Copper Mountain Middle, Elk Ridge Middle and Mountain Creek Middle.

We will begin in the auditorium at your scheduled time and location (see schedule below). A grab and go snack will be provided during the break. Space will be limited. If you have an intern you would like to have attend please talk with your AOS before inviting them.

It will be our privilege to hear from nationally recognized generational research consultant, Kim Lear, who will provide us with key insights about how we can all move forward together.
