Parent Teacher Conferences are fast approaching, and many of you will find your school in need of one or more interpreters in order to serve the needs of your parents. Mirsa Joosten is happy to find an interpreter in each language you need, but this can be extremely difficult when there is not sufficient time for her to make arrangements. The virtual format can make finding interpreters even more difficult. For these reasons, we ask you to please request your interpreter right away by completing the Interpreting and Translation Services Request Form available on the Equity and Compliance webpage, if you have not already done so.

SUBJECT: 
10-Day Accounting and September 9, 2020 Count

Students who are registered to a District school and have not attended (or been marked absent with a valid excuse) for ten consecutive school days at any point in the school year must be withdrawn from membership. This is particularly important during the first ten days of the school year so that our enrollment calculations and reporting is accurate.

This year, USBE has required an official count on September 9, 2020 (in addition to the formal October 1 count). This means that all 10-day drops must be processed in a timely manner at the end of the 10th day (High Schools: Friday, September 4, 2020; Elementary and Middle Schools: Tuesday, September 8, 2020). The early timing of the September 9 count count does not allow for a delay in processing 10-day drops.

Please ensure that all staff members with responsibility for processing the drops are aware of the deadline and the need for accuracy and efficiency this year. More information on the 10-day drop process can be found on the Planning & Enrollment website by searching for “10-Day Accounting.”

School and Teacher COVID Allocations for PPE

Schools will track individual in-classroom teacher allotments up to the $500 allotment. Use of the funds will follow regular District policy and procedure (i.e. proper receipts, approvals, etc.) and may utilize P-Cards, Purchase Orders, NPOs, inventory requisitions, or check request reimbursement to facilitate the fastest and easiest option for the circumstance.

If you have questions or need assistance, please call Dan Ellis at x88389 or Derek Anderson at x88275.

SUBJECT: 
2020 WIDA Screeners

Whenever parents indicate that another language besides English is spoken in the household and the student(s) is new to the district, Evaluation, Research & Accountability is required by the federal government to administer a WIDA screener to see if the student qualifies for second language services. The WIDA screener is administered to students learning in-person and online.

Schools are asked to set aside a testing location in which district testers may administer the screener. Typically, a space the size of a conference room will suffice.

The district testers will be contacting schools individually to set up a date, time and testing location within the school building so that they can administer the WIDA screener. Depending on when students register and we receive the documentation, district testers may come to your school multiple times throughout the school year.

Evaluation, Research & Accountability will also contact parents of online students to set an appointment at the school so that they student may be screened.

Please see the document entitled WIDA Screener Testing Protocols and Procedures for COVID-19 that accompanies this memo for information regarding the cleaning and disinfecting routines district testers will be using.

Please contact JoLynn Snelgrove at 801-567-8419 or jolynn.snelgrove@jordandistrict.org with any questions.
