Classroom TECC kits have been delivered to every school in JSD.  A hearty kudos to Mark Raines, Dave Erickson and Brenda Veldevere for their efforts in making that happen.  Included with the delivery of the classroom TECC kits were the following two forms.

  • Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Kits Distribution Checklist - indicates how many kits were delivered to your school and identifies where the kits should be distributed.
  • Your School’s TECC Kit Assignment Sheet – is an accountability form that indicates which classroom number each kit is assigned to, as well as the teacher’s name and signature.

Thank you to those schools that have distributed the kits and submitted Your School’s TECC Kit Assignment Sheet to Judy Bird at Facility Services.  Those of you that have not yet submitted Your School’s TECC Kit Assignment Sheet to Judy, please do so by Friday, January 11, 2019.  You may either email a copy of the distribution form to Judy at judy.bird@jordandistrict.org or send the form via district mail to Judy Bird, Facility Services, at the ASB.

Feel free to contact Judy with any questions you may have at 801-567-8858.

Thanks for your cooperation and have a happy holiday season.

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.
