Administrators: Please take note of the 2020-21 Crucial Policy Review. All employees , with the exception of minor students, will be required to complete the crucial policy review by November 1, 2020.

Please remind your employees to complete this review. CLICK HERE for more information.

Jordan School District Employees are responsible for knowing and adhering to all District policies and procedures. The crucial policy review is now available to District employees in Skyward through “Online Forms.” As a condition of continued employment, all employees (i.e. Licensed, ESP, Substitutes, Coaches, Miscellaneous adults, etc.), with the exception of minor students, will be required to complete this training. In addition to last year’s policies and procedures, the District is required to provide training to employees regarding human trafficking and Title IX. We ask your assistance in notifying your employees of this required training and ask that this training be completed by November 1, 2020.

A message will appear upon login of Skyward Employee Access for the employee to complete an “Online Form.” Employees can complete the steps at that time or can return to the review at another time by selecting “Online Forms” under “Employee Information.” Reports of completion will be available through Skyward so you can verify that your staff members have completed this process. If you or any staff members need technical help, please call the help desk at 801-567-USER (8737).

Welcome to the 2020-2021 contract year! As an annual reminder, in accordance with DP326 NEG and DP324 NEG, participation in the Employee-Funded Sick Leave Bank requires an employee to annually donate one day of accumulated annual leave into the Sick Leave Bank.  The Employee-Funded Sick Leave Bank is not intended to be used for in-and-out absences, elective medical procedures or other medical care that could be scheduled during non-contract time.

Employees wishing to opt out of participation in the Employee-Funded Sick Leave Bank must log in to their Employee Access and complete the opt out process no later than September 1st. First year educators have until October 1st. This opt out request must be submitted annually.

Prior to completion of this form, it is strongly encouraged to review all District Leave Policies.

Please see instructions below.

The date for which parents and students will be able to view schedules and teacher assignments in Skyward has been delayed.

The District will send a message tomorrow informing parents that the option to view schedules and teacher assignments will be delayed until later next week.

We will let principals and counselors know ahead of time when schedules and teacher assignments will be available for parents to view.

Reminder: This deadline of September 1, 2020 is approaching fast! We need your qualified people to apply. Please encourage them!

Do you know someone who should be an administrator? Have them apply by September 1, 2020.
