Requests for Sign Language Interpreters for Graduation

Graduation is upon us and every year we receive requests for sign language interpreters at graduation for deaf parents, siblings, grandparents or other family members. We are happy to supply interpreters for graduation, if we are given adequate notification.

If you know of deaf clients attending your school's graduation, you need to contact interpreters no later than Tues, May 15. Please call Betty Carlson at 801-567-8655 or Kerry Heywood, at 801-567-8653.

We will send at least two interpreters. At least a week before graduation, they will need the following:

*  Copies of all speeches - speeches can be difficult to hear clearly due to sound quality or clarity of speaker

*  Copies of all song lyrics - songs must be transposed into ASL , this takes time and practice

*  Seats reserved for deaf clients - up front where interpreters can sit facing the clients

*  Chairs for interpreters

*  One music stand for interpreters to place copies of speeches & song lyrics

We will also need time and location of the graduation, and if possible, the names of the clients attending. If you can't provide names, at least the number of deaf clients would be helpful.

We are happy to come to the school and pick up this information. The sooner we know, the better we can prepare and make this a smooth, successful situation for everyone involved.

Thank you for your help and support. Congratulations on another successful year!

Permanent Records – Transfer Processes and Procedures

Year-End Permanent Record Transfers:
Permanent records for students leaving the school (either a boundary change or 6th and 9th grade advancement) need to be delivered in person to the appropriate school by the sending schools staff. Records need to be delivered on or before:

Traditional Schools:   June 8, 2018

Year-Round schools:  July 6, 2018

The receiving school will need to check the student list against each permanent record to assure all permanent records were received. Each bundle must be accompanied by two (2) alphabetized lists which includes the name of the sending school and receiving school. Computer lists or PDM’s may be used. Dead files should be provided to receiving schools separately in their own box.

General Permanent Record Transfer Procedures (District policy AS61):

  • A parent release is not required when transferring student records from one school to another.
  • Any school receiving a written request to forward a copy of a transferring student’s record to the new school shall comply within 30 days of the request, and within 10 days of the request for a military child’s records, unless the record has been flagged as a “Missing child,” in which case the copy may not be forwarded and the requested school shall notify the police department.
  • Transfer the ORIGINAL records for students in grades K through 8.
  • A CERTIFIED COPY of the cumulative/permanent record along with the original health record (Utah School Immunization Record) of students in grades 9 through 12 shall be transferred to requesting schools outside of Jordan School District. The ORIGINAL RECORDS and a copy of the health record of students in grades 9 through 12 shall be archived at the Jordan District high school.
  • Maintain a record of the date the record transfer request was received and the date and school where the record was sent.
