As outlined in the State Public Health Order, employees, students, or visitors, on school property or on a school bus shall wear a face covering unless a medically directed exemption is in place.
Schools have the responsibility to enforce this order.
Individuals who are unwilling to comply with the order may be excluded from school after reasonable efforts have been made.
1) Rubber bands are being delivered to schools to wrap around the necks of the large hand sanitizer bottles to limit the amount of sanitizer coming out with a single push.
2) Although students are expected to bring masks from home, USBE provided masks intended for student use which will be distributed to schools from the warehouse. We did not receive sufficient quantities for every student. We will be distributing these masks to schools based proportionately on their 2.1 enrollment projections. These masks can be distributed or used at the Principals discretion. For example, they could be held at the office for students who forget a mask or to be given to students who may have a harder time obtaining a mask. Important - Elementary Schools - please remove the paper insert in the masks which show underwear before handing out to students.
3) Although staff are expected to bring masks from home, the District is providing 2 masks with a white "J" on the right cheek for each employee. The warehouse will be delivering these masks to schools and buildings soon.
4) Lighter, more temporary face masks continue to be available for order by schools or departments from the District Warehouse.
5) Please work with your head custodian to see that each classroom has a paper towel dispenser, with paper towels, and a cleansing spray bottle.
6) If you have a need for a clear face mask contact your AOS.
Dear Principals,
To comply with social distancing and be time efficient, the teacher induction training for 2020-21 will be virtual, through a New Teacher Induction video.
The purpose of the video is to welcome our new teachers to Jordan School District, introduce key personnel and department heads and provide contact information for essential resources.
The New Teacher Induction video will be available on August 10th and should be viewed by all new teachers by August 14th. The video presentation is at the principal’s discretion on date and time; however, we encourage new teachers be provided the opportunity to view the video with their assigned mentor. For this purpose, please make sure each new teacher has been assigned a mentor by August 10th.
We also encourage all staff members to have an opportunity to view the video. You may want to include the video as part of your teacher training, or to be viewed by teams. The video lasts approximately 25 minutes.
Support in the first year of teaching is crucial in the success, retention and development of teachers. Receiving support from administrators and colleagues, mentoring and supervision, targeted professional development, and recognition of professional growth is essential for effective teaching.
Ongoing induction training and support will be provided by the Teaching and Learning Department. More information is coming.
The courses have been designed for administrators and teachers to build their knowledge and understanding to instruct using Google tools and the Canvas platform. The courses will provide administrators and teachers with a solid foundation in using Google tools and the Canvas platform to deliver instruction and content to students in a digital learning format. Instructors in the courses will provide feedback and monitor course progression. Course enrollment takes place in JPLS using the course numbers provided below.
Join us on August 3, 2020. Multiple sessions offered between 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Register in JPLS. See attached flyer for all the information.
