Save the Date – Reunification Workshop and Drill
On Thursday, June 16, 2016, Jordan School District and participating agencies will collaborate in an Emergency Preparedness Workshop and Drill regarding the Reunification Action Plan. We are extremely fortunate in having the opportunity to interact with leaders from each of our city and county municipalities within Jordan School District, which include Fire, Police and Emergency Services.
The objective of the training is to assist building administrators in becoming familiar with the Reunification Action Plan. This plan is utilized when a school is required to conduct a controlled release of students following an emergency or other significant disruption to the normal schedule. Training includes the proper protocol, identifies roles and responsibilities, and use of effective communication to safely account for and release students to parents/guardians. It also provides an opportunity to enhance relationships between JSD and our communities.
We anticipate that the administrator responsible for safety and security (Incident Command) from each school/location will attend. Please register for the workshop and drill on JPLS. Licensure points will be issued.
When:
June 16, 2016
Workshop:
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, Auxiliary Services Building – Auditorium
Reunification Drill:
1:00 PM – 4:-00 PM, Fox Hollow Elementary
Due to limited parking and anticipated heavy traffic during the drill at Fox Hollow Elementary, transportation will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Business Meeting for Administrative Assistants
Last spring, we held our first business meeting for administrative assistants. We appreciated the great attendance at these meetings and the suggestions for topics that we received. In our continuing effort to provide a forum for administrative assistants to receive applicable information and training, we have scheduled another set of business meetings to be held:
Monday, January 11, 2016 – 1:00-3:00 p.m.
Friday, January 22, 2016 – 9:00-11:00 a.m.
The meetings will be held at the District Office in room 129. As before, this meeting is voluntary and not required; however, we hope you will take advantage of this specialized training. The meetings are also open to administrators and/or others that may benefit from the topics to be presented.
The topics that will be discussed in these sessions are geared more towards school-related matters, but District administrative assistants are welcome to participate. These topics include:
If you plan to attend, please choose one of the two dates that will work best with your schedule and send an email to Jeri Clayton (jeri.clayton@jordandistrict.org) to let her know which date you will attend so that we can plan for the number of attendees at each session. You can also call Jeri at 801-567-8120.
We look forward to seeing you at these meetings in January. Enjoy the upcoming winter break.
