2018 SAGE Writing for Grades 9-10
During their November meeting, the State Board of Education directed that the writing portion of the 9th and 10th grade ELA SAGE Summative assessments be removed for this year. This change will take effect starting with the spring 2018 SAGE Summative window, which begins on March 20, 2018. Students will still earn an overall scale score and proficiency level based on the ELA reading portion of the SAGE.
The writing portion of the ELA SAGE for grades 3-8 will still be administered.
The Evaluation, Research & Accountability Department will notify individual school Testing Coordinators.
Please contact Ben Jameson via email or at 801-567-8243 with any questions.

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.
