West Jordan Middle School Surplus Items – June 6, 2019
"Attention Administrators: As you are all aware, West Jordan Middle is being rebuilt, so they will have a lot of their furniture, appliances, projectors, and other surplus items that they will not be taking to their new building. Before we make it available to the public at an on-site sale, we would like to make it available to the rest of the schools in Jordan District.
Principals will be able to view and select items that can be transferred to their respective schools on Thursday, June 6th, two days before the public sale from 8 AM to 4 PM. The central warehouse will take care of the physical transfer either the same day or by Monday of the next week. Paperwork will need to be filled out and signed, so principals will be the only ones authorized to select items for transfer. If interested, please contact Steve Oldham in the surplus warehouse, as he will be on site at WJMS to coordinate the effort."

Employee Attendance at Relative’s Graduation Exercises 2019
DATE:
May 16, 2019
TO:
All Principals and Directors
FROM:
June LeMaster, Ph.D., Administrator, Human Resources
Administrator of Schools
SUBJECT:
Employee Attendance at Relative's Graduation Exercises
This year, all high school graduation exercises are on Thursday, May 30th, with the exception of Valley High on Wednesday, May 29th.
Principals and Directors are encouraged to direct parents or grandparents who may wish to attend these graduations, but who are scheduled to work in their own locations to District Policy DP335 NEG and DP335B NEG. This policy specifically states: "Personal leave shall not be taken during the first five days and last five days that students are in school except...to attend to personal or business matters which require the employee's attendance and scheduling is beyond the employee's control."
Since graduation scheduling is beyond the employees’ control, it is desirable that immediate supervisors will cooperate and provide employees who may fall into this category, an opportunity to attend graduation ceremonies of family members.
Licensed employees are responsible for requesting a substitute through the Absence Management system, if applicable. In the blue “Notes to Administrator” box, the employee should add “graduation” along with his/her relationship to the graduate.
For additional assistance, please contact Juli Martin in the sub office at 801-567-8219.

Influenza Prevention Information – From Salt Lake County Health Department – January 2019
Influenza season is in full swing and the Salt Lake County Health Department is asking schools to be proactive in their approach to influenza prevention and their response to cases of illness.
The most effective approach is four-pronged:
- Vaccination: Encourage staff and students to receive a seasonal flu vaccine every year.
- Hand Washing: Remind staff and students to engage in frequent, thorough, hand washing.
- Wash hands regular
- Washing with soap and warm water, and physically scrub for at least 20 seconds.
- Hand sanitizers are not an adequate replacement for proper hand washing with soap and warm water. Use in addition to hand washing.
- Cleaning: Standard cleaning and disinfecting practices are sufficient to remove or kill viruses.
- Stay Home When Ill: Keep ill students and staff home from work and school for the duration of their illness.
Attached are PDF files you may use to encourage proper hand washing and cough etiquette. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control also offers helpful influenza information for schools here: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/school/index.htm.
