Research Project
The Research Review Committee has reviewed a research project in which your school has been asked to participate.
Project Title: “Assessment of Nutrition and Physical Activity Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors of Students in Jordan School District:
Applicant: Nica Clark
The project has been approved by the District Research Review Committee. The applicant has been directed to contact you to discuss the extent of the project and to obtain your permission to conduct the study at your school. Participation in the study is at your discretion. If you have questions or concerns relating to participation, please contact Ben Jameson at 801-567-8243.
The project will involve PE/health teachers participating in a focus group regarding the nutrition and physical activity behaviors and attitudes of high school students. The information gathered from these focus groups will help guide the development of targeted nutrition and physical activity programs in schools.
Thank you for your assistance.
Principals: Please pass this on to your teachers

The Classified Evaluation System has been moved from JPLS to Skyward. The evaluations will be accessed from Skyward Employee Access. Classified employees will no longer be required to complete a self-evaluation. Evaluators will begin the evaluation process and will complete the process by meeting with the employee to review and electronically sign the evaluation. Once the evaluation process is complete, the employee and evaluator will receive a confirmation email. A set of step-by-step instructions is included and will also be available from the JES website. For technical questions, contact the Information Systems Help Desk at 801-567-8737; otherwise, contact the JES Office at 801-567-8369. A schedule of work sessions to review the evaluation process is also included.
We wanted to make all schools aware of the (125) light maple desktops we are storing in the ASB Surplus Warehouse. They are 18" x 24" and are brand new. If your school is in need of these desktops please contact Kris Wishart at (88709) or by email (kris.wishart@jordandistrict.org). We will post them on PublicSurplus.com for reallocation for the next month. We also have brought in many student desks and various sizes of student chairs if you are in need of those as well.
As always you are more than welcome to come by and take a look at what is available in the ASB Surplus Warehouse.
