Need Adobe?

CTE has purchased licenses for the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite through an agreement between the State and Adobe.  These licenses fall under a 3-year agreement.

The Adobe Creative Cloud Suite includes programs such as Acrobat Pro DC, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and many more!

Under the agreement, the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is $22.99/year/license/device.  For example, if you need the programs on your desktop and laptop, you would be required to purchase 2 licenses.  Unfortunately, under this agreement, unlimited licenses are no longer an option.   If you were to purchase Acrobat Pro DC from, for example, Amazon.com, it would cost $429 or $199 for an upgrade.

TO PURCHASE LICENSES

  • The Administrator or Administrative Assistant for the school/department would email Allison Tobaben in the CTE Department at tobaben@jordandistrict.org. The email must include the following:
    • Elementary Schools and Departments
      • Number of licenses needed.
      • Name of Information Systems Technician.
      • The budget number to use for journal entry. CTE will prepare a journal entry and send it to the requestor.
    • Secondary Schools
      • Number of licenses needed. CTE will send an invoice for the number of licenses requested.
      • Name of Information Systems Technician.

Once this information is received, Allison will respond to the email, confirming the requested has been received.  This confirmation will be copied to the Information Systems Department as well as the Technician for the school/department.  This will serve as an authorization to deploy the licenses.  Invoicing and journal entries will be handled in a separate email between Allison and the school/department.  Schools/Departments will be billed once a year, each year of the agreement.

Should you have any questions, please contact Allison Tobaben in the CTE Department at (801) 256-5951.

Middle schools are now given the option to transmit their payroll electronically to the Payroll Department by scanning documents, with a scanner, and then emailing to the Payroll Department.  To protect the employees’ personal information, please use the District encrypted email called MoveIt.

  • Time sheets and all payroll documents can be emailed to Carolyn Bevan at carolyn.bevan@jordandistrict.org.
  • Payroll will forward time sheets to the applicable departments for review and signatures using MoveIt.
  • If Payroll documents were emailed to Payroll, Do Not send original documents as this could cause duplicate pay.
  • Employees should use the True Time system, whenever possible, to record their time for any extra jobs, rather than using paper time sheets.

As you are already aware, Payroll has been continually changing and becoming more efficient using technology.  Because of these many payroll changes, and to avoid conflicting information between departments and schools regarding payroll, we ask that you please clarify or discuss any payroll issues and/or concerns through the Payroll Department.

We thank you for your continued support, suggestions, and especially for your hard work in helping Payroll run smoothly each month.  If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Palmer, Payroll Director, at 801-567-8154 or email sarah.palmer@jordandistrict.org.

Copies of the TC-40D Tax Exemption Form for a Dependent with a Disability can currently be found in two places on the Special Education website. Under the Staff Information tab, and then by clicking on Forms, it can be found under the heading "TAX Form". Additionally, parents can locate the form under the Parent Information tab and by scrolling to the bottom of the page.  Parents of students with disabilities who wish to take advantage of this tax exemption will be required to obtain the signature of a school district representative who can certify that the dependent qualifies. The verification form should be signed by the school principal (LEA) or their designee.

The dependent must have a current IEP and must be eligible under one of the identified classifications or categories of disability (please see TC-40D Form for eligible disabilities). Please note that students with learning disabilities, emotional disturbances and communication speech language disorders only are NOT ELIGIBLE. Should a parent request that the school sign the TC-40D Tax Exemption Form, please check that the student is on a current IEP and verify that the student is being served under one of the eligible categories of disability.

Please contact your teacher specialist if you have any questions.

We have another group of surplus items on PublicSurplus.com for reallocation to schools - it will run 01/26/2017 - 02/09/2017 and will roll over to public auction on 02/09/2017 for a week. Please take a look and see if there is anything you need for your school. There are solid wood sled chairs, solid wood tables, as well as three (3) pianos.

Please remember that your school needs to do their surplus paperwork and turn it in with all signatures if you want to be scheduled for pickup. Please do not delay in getting your paperwork in so that we can schedule you for our next surplus pickup.

If your school has remodels or special projects coming up this summer, please start getting your surplus together now so that we aren't trying to push everything through at the last minute.

As always thank you for your help and cooperation.
