Thank you for all you help in identifying families to receive a Thanksgiving Heroes meal. There are PLENTY and I really mean PLENTY of meals available. Don't leave anyone out. At this point, you can send us 50 or more families and they would get a Thanksgiving meal.

  1. Can you get your numbers to Steven Hall, JEF office by Friday Nov 9 at noon. By numbers we mean numbers not forms. JEF needs numbers by Friday noon so food can be ordered.
  2. The forms can come later, Monday to Wednesday, as long as we have the numbers by Friday noon.

To date, only 25% of the allotted Thanksgiving dinners have been filled for our district. What a blessing it will be for our most deserving children to have a meal on Thanksgiving day. Thanks for you help.

Administrators,

In last week’s JAM, you received a memo regarding Avoid Deny Defend (ADD) and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Classified Trainings.  The purpose of this memo is to clarify the intent of the JAM communication.

Training is not required for all classified employees by the end December as previously stated. At this point, there are three options for training classified employees:

Live Trainings:
There are two remaining ADD and TECC live trainings for classified employees.  The first training will be conducted at West Jordan Middle School on Monday, October 1 from 2:30 – 5:00 p.m.  This training is primarily for Nutrition Services employees, but is open to all classified personnel.  The second training will be conducted at Elk Ridge Middle School on Friday, October 26 (grade transmittal day) from 8:30 – 11:00 a.m.  This training is open to all classified personnel who would like to attend.

Online Video Training:
After the live training on October 26, the trainings will be made available online to classified personnel for the purpose of receiving the training at their school.  It is our hope that the edited video will be between 60 and 75 minutes in length.

Possible Additional Training:
A number of options for providing additional training for classified employees are being explored, including suicide prevention training. No details are available yet, but we will be working with the classified employee group (JESPA) to create more professional development options for classified employees.

All full-time classified employees should receive ADD and TECC training, either by attending the live training or by watching the online video once it is available. Although training is not required for part-time employees at this point, you may ask your part-time classified staff to attend the live trainings or watch the training videos once they become available. Employees cannot be required to attend the live training or watch the video outside of work hours without compensation. Again, part-time classified employees are not required to be trained, but can be trained at the principal’s discretion if there is time to do so during work hours or funds at the school level to compensate them for the training.

Please contact your Administrator of Schools with any questions.
