Ami Shah, Jordan Native American Program

The Jordan Native American Program has created a presentation that will enlighten our students about the rich history and culture of Native American tribes across the United States.

They will explore the challenges Native Americans have faced throughout history and learn about how to show respect and support for Native cultures today. Through real-life examples of notable Native American leaders and artists, students will gain a deeper understanding of Native American contributions and the importance of using accurate and respectful language. This engaging and educational presentation aims to promote cultural awareness and respect among students.

For those interested in having our team come to their classroom to give this presentation, please fill out this Google Form, and one of our team members will contact you to schedule a date/time. It is encouraged to group classes together, so we can utilize our team's schedules.

In anticipation of next year's enrollment planning and scheduling, Information Systems will be turning on pre-transfers the afternoon of December 16th. You will be able to start running reports and see your next year's students at that time.

Below are a few reminders about pre-transfers:

  • A pre-transfer is an active student who is currently attending Jordan School District and will be attending next year at a different school within Jordan School District. The student's record will pre-transfer to the student's next year boundary school based on their current address.
  • Once pre-transfers are turned on, the School Path tab shows the current year permits under Previous Reason Code and next year permits under Reason Code.
  • Current permits for 6th and 9th grade students will be removed for next year as of December 16th. This will allow these students to pre-transfer to their new entity for next year.
  • In addition to turning on pre-transfers, the course master will be rolled over for next year's scheduling preparation.

Please contact the help desk (ext. 88737) with any questions or concerns regarding the pre-transfer process.
