The JSD Surplus Warehouse is up and running.  We want to thank the schools and departments who have been diligent in turning in their paperwork.  We currently have an auction and reallocation on PublicSurplus.com for those who maybe looking for items for your school/department.

We also have made a few time frame changes to the Surplus Guidelines we sent out.  The changes are as follows:

  1.  After surplus items have been picked up and processed, all items deemed usable for schools will go on the PublicSurplus.com website for reallocation.  Items on reallocation are available for only schools to view. All surplus items will be on reallocation for (2) weeks; they then will roll over into auction on PublicSurplus.com. To access reallocation items you will use your login and password that you created from the link we sent you previously.  If you do not know if you have a login or have forgotten it please contact the Surplus Warehouse. They can tell you your login but they do not have access to your password unless you sent it in.  If you are interested in looking at an item for your school, you may view them Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.or by appointment. Please contact the Surplus Warehouse at (801) 567-8709 to schedule an appointment.

If there are any questions, please contact Corie Fuller, Karen Barnes or Kris Wishart in Fixed Assets/Surplus Warehouse.

LEA Training Final Session

The last LEA training session for 2015-16 will be held on Wednesday, April 20, 2016, at 1:00 PM in the ASB Auditorium. We will only have one session but in a larger venue. The purpose of this session will be to give you, as the LEA, and any other staff that you wish to attend, time to review your school data as it relates to students with disabilities. We will also briefly review the goals and objectives of the State Improvement Plan (SIP) for Students with Disabilities.

Individual school data was provided at a prior principal meeting and will be available in an electronic format for you to save onto your computer. You will then have a series of guiding questions that you can use to look for trends and patterns as well as make some preliminary plans for the future.

If you plan to attend, please send an RSVP email to Lisa Robinson (lisa.robinson@jordandistrict.org) so data and space can be prepared to accommodate you and your guests.

Elementary and Middle School Principals and Administrative Assistants:

Since the changes in the flu shot clinic were so successful last year, we have been given the green light to continue working with Community Nursing Services (CNS) for the coming year. It is called “Say Boo to the Flu.” I know that many of you use CNS for immunization clinics, already.  In an effort to serve our communities better as well as our employees, CNS will be contacting you this spring to host a flu shot clinic for your school community in the fall. It requires very little of you. They set up, provide the shots, and clean up. They will work with you to determine a day that will work for your school.

We have attached several items for you to view: Boo frequently asked questions (FAQ), Boo checklist, and a Boo poster. Please let Ed Support know if you have additional questions.
