Safety Share – Fire Drill Required within First 10 Days of School – August 2021
All schools are required to conduct a fire drill within the first 10 days of the school year.
This provides a great opportunity to review plans, emergency response/Incident Command assignments, evacuation maps, rally locations outside, communications, and related supplies.
Please take special care to orient new students and staff, individuals with special needs and younger students that may not have been exposed to alarms and emergency response protocols.
REMEMBER/CONSIDERATIONS
- Call the District 24-hour Alarm Response 801-567-8865 at least 30 minutes in advance, to inform them of the drill, so the fire department is not dispatched.
- It is required that the fire alarm is activated for fire drills.
- All occupants are required to evacuate, with the only exception for the staff member responsible for notifying the local fire emergency contact and handling emergency communications.
- Clearly announce the “drill” within the school, and always make a clear distinction between drills “actual emergencies”.
- Complete the 2021-22 Report of Emergencies – Drills, Actual Events or Meetings Form, on Google Drive. Link: 2021-22 Report of Emergencies – Drills, Actual Events or Meetings
- Conduct drills according to the District Incident Command System (ICS) Manual, located in the Google Drive Incident Command Folder. Link: JSD Incident Command Folder
- Bookmark the Emergency Report Form and Incident Command Folder.

SCRAM for 2021-22 School Year – October 1 Count
Special Education Resource and Cluster Team Leaders will receive a SCRAM report via Move-It of all students who should be receiving services through your school’s special education program(s) at the start of the 2021-22 school year. All team members and service providers need to verify each student on this list as either correct, changed, exited/moved, and/or incomplete. Since only one copy is being sent per “team” (i.e., Resource and Cluster), it is important that resource teams, cluster teams, SLPs, Guidance Specialists and other itinerant providers work together to check and complete the requested information.
Please have your Scram Reports and corrected SCRAM returned to the District Office by
Wednesday, September 8, 2021
We are in the process of hiring a new SCRAM secretary. Until we have a replacement, please continue to send your SCRAM documents and reports to Amanda Hamblin at the District Office. When we have someone in place, you will be notified of who the new contact person is for SCRAM.

2021-22 Testing Ethics Training for Education Support Professionals

2021-22 Required Testing Ethics Professional Development Procedures for Education Support Professionals
Licensed teachers will do their testing ethics training as part of their annual crucial policies and procedures review. Principals do not need to train their teachers on testing ethics for the 2021-22 school year; however, principals will need to conduct a training for any education support professionals (classified employees) who will assist with district, state or federally-mandated testing. This will include computer lab assistants who function as the school’s test coordinator, any classroom aides that assist with testing, literacy aides who assist with Acadience Reading testing or progress monitoring, or any office staff that assist test coordinators with district, state or federally-mandated testing.
The three required procedures for completing this testing ethics professional development are listed on the “2021-22 Principal’s Testing Ethics Checklist for ESPs” form, which is due to the Evaluation, Research & Accountability Department by Friday, September 17, 2021.
As has been done in the past, principals may provide in-person training on testing ethics using the pdf slide deck attached with this memo. Alternatively, principals may refer education support personnel to the YouTube video that provides the same ethics training. Once education support personnel have been trained, either in-person or using the video, they are required to sign the “2021-22 Standard Test Administration and Testing Ethics Policy Training Signature Form.” Principals are asked to keep these signed forms on file at the school.
There are several materials attached with this memo for your use:
- 2021-22 Principal’s Testing Ethics Checklist or ESPs – This form needs to be filled out and sent to Evaluation, Research & Accountability by Friday, September 17, 2021.
- Testing Ethics Presentation, 2022-21 – This is the pdf slide deck if principals choose to present the training in-person.
- 2021-22 Standard Test Administration and Testing Ethics Policy – This document should be distributed to every Education Support Professional that assists with state or federally-mandated testing.
- ESP Testing Ethics Video – This is the training video that may be used in lieu of in-person training. The video may be found at this link: https://youtu.be/WW1wXObXPQo
- Standard Test Administration and Testing Ethics Training Signature Form, 2021-22 – Principals should retain a signed copy of this form for all Education Support Professionals who assist with district, state or federally-mandated testing.
Please contact Ben Jameson or Gaylene Miller in Evaluation, Research & Accountability with any questions.
