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.

SPECIAL PROJECTS REQUEST AND COMPLETION PROCESS

  • The Principal submits a request, in Sprocket, for a Special Project.
  • The request is then routed to Dan Bourgeois in order in order for him to provide an estimate.
  • Once an estimate has been provided, Dan then assigns the request back to the Principal.
  • If the Principal agrees to the estimate, the Principal approves it and routes it to his/her Administrator of Schools.
  • The Administrator of Schools can either approve or deny the Special Project.
  • Judy Bird then completes a Journal Entry from the appropriate accounting code.
  • The Journal Entry is completed by Judy.
  • The Special Project request and the Journal Entry will then be signed by the Staff Assistant of Auxiliary Services.
  • After the Special Project request is signed, it is forwarded to the school for the Principal’s signature.
  • The Principal will then send back the signed Journal Entry to Judy Bird at Auxiliary Services. (School can pay with a check if they prefer.)
  • The original signed Journal Entry is then forwarded to Accounting.
  • Judy Bird then approves the project estimate in sprocket.
  • The Special Project is then forwarded to Dan Bourgeois to have the work completed.

 

Things to Keep In Mind that May Slow Down the Process

There are 4 ways a Special Project request can be delayed.

  1. Awaiting Administrator of Schools approval
  2. Awaiting Auxiliary Services approval
  3. Awaiting Principal approval
  4. Awaiting budget estimate
