Reminder: Retirement Bells No Longer Purchased By the Board

The Board of Education made the decision at the end of last year to continue to purchase clocks for retirees that are presented at the annual retirement dinner in May; however, the Board will no longer be purchasing an additional gift, which has traditionally been a retirement bell. Schools and departments are welcome to purchase bells on their own for their retirees.

The following information may be helpful to schools and departments that may wish to purchase bells for their retirees.

Contact:

We have been ordering the Large Hand Bell #2CW with the following engraving:

Name of Employee
In Appreciation for Outstanding Service
Jordan School District

The cost for the bell with engraving is within $65 to $70.

Schools or departments can order with a purchase order or credit card online at www.appleawards.com or fax the order to 1-715-634-3334. The purchase should be made from the Principal’s Discretionary account.

Opportunity for Part-time Classified Employees to Drive School Buses

In an effort to meet the District’s need for additional bus drivers (AM & PM), part-time classified employees are now able to work additional hours as substitute bus drivers.

Allowed Hours
Employees currently working part-time at your location are now allowed to work up to 27 hours per week as follows:

  • Current classified employees who are scheduled to work between 8 and 19 hours per week at your location will now be able to work additional hours as a bus driver to a maximum total of 27 hours per week.
  • Current classified employees allowed to work additional hours as a bus driver will not be allowed to work additional hours at the school location for any reason.
  • Current classified employees must provide their school work schedule to Charlene Arko in transportation and will not be allowed to alter their school schedule to work in transportation.
  • Current classified employees working additional hours as a bus driver are without contract or benefits.

Transportation is required to monitor and limit driver hours based on their maximum allowable hours provided by Human Resources when they are hired.  Monthly audits will also be conducted.

Application
Interested current part-time employees must submit an online application through Skyward to be considered.  A specific posting for current employees is currently available through Employee Access.  Employees must be at least 21 years old to drive a bus.

Training
Employees are required to complete the required training, including CDL training, prior to driving.  Training classes are scheduled monthly throughout the year.  See the attached employee notification for training details.

Advertisement
The attached announcement will be emailed to eligible employees in November notifying each of this opportunity, along with the training requirements.  We also ask for your assistance in communicating this information to current eligible part-time employees.

The 2015-16 Emergency Procedures and Contacts manual (commonly known as the "Red Book") will be shared with you on Google Drive in an effort to keep this critical information readily available.  You should have already received hard copies of the manual through district mail. We believe that sharing the manual electronically, in a safe manner, makes it even more accessible if needed.
At this time, only JSD administrators have been included.  In the event you would like to share the manual with your administrative assistant and/or head custodian, please email a request to share to Peggy Margetts at peggy.margetts@jordandistrict.org.  Also, if your current contact information changes, please send Peggy updates immediately so she can keep the contact information as current as possible.  Feel free to contact Peggy at 801-567-8753 with any questions.
