Many of us love our Apple devices, anything ranging from an iPad, to a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, or your iMac or Apple TV. We are purchasing and seeing more and more of these devices in our offices and classrooms, and they help our students grow and learn, and allow the rest of us to do our jobs efficiently.

We encourage you to keep purchasing Apple products for your classrooms and offices. However, any Apple device needs to be purchased from Apple Computer through the purchase order process for educational usage per the State of Utah contract. We may not always get the correct discounted price when purchased from the Apple Store or other retailers such as Best Buy or Costco. It also causes problems for our Information Systems department to get the devices in the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and the Mobile Device Management (MDM) for tracking and updates. When purchased elsewhere, iPads are not getting engraved with the school district's name (we get this free through Apple on the state contract), and the device management licenses are not being purchased with them.

The District's Amazon Business account will no longer allow purchases of these products, and P-Cards are not to be used for computer/technology devices.

When you need to purchase Apple devices, please contact Tonya Hodges in the Purchasing Department, and she can assist you with quotes from Apple for the devices you need. No additional quotes are required for your purchase! Simply enter a requisition in Skyward with the Apple quote attached, and you are ready to go. Tonya can be reached at 567-8706 or at tonya.hodges@jordandistrict.org .

As discussed in principals’ meeting, Jordan District has formed a contracted partnership with 13 community mental health providers. This is an exciting opportunity for our students and families! Schools will be able to refer students who have mental health needs to one of these providers through our mental health access program. These providers have agreed to see all of our District's referrals within 10 calendar days. Jordan District will pay for $800 of mental health services per student referred.

Please review the attached PowerPoint slides that explain the program. Referral forms are also attached for your reference and can be found at wellness.jordandistrict.org/educators.

If you have questions please contact McKinley Withers, mckinley.withers@jordandistrict.org, 801-567-8245, or Kevin Mossel, kevin.mossel@jordandistrict.org, 385-249-7932, or a member of the Health and Wellness Team.

If you'd like to have someone come to your school to explain the MHAP Process, please contact McKinley for a brief visit.

What is eduroam?
Eduroam is a secure, world-wide wireless network available to the international research and education community. Eduroam allows any user from an eduroam participating site to get wireless network access at any institution connected to eduroam. The eduroam wireless network is available in thousands of locations across more than a hundred countries worldwide.

What does this mean for Jordan School District now that we are an eduroam participating site?
As you travel to other participating school districts and universities, look for a wireless network called Eduroam. If you see one called Eduroam, you can connect to it using your Jordan School District email address as the user name and your Active Directory password (the same password you use to login to your computer every day). Likewise, visitors to Jordan School District from other participating school districts and universities will now be able to connect to our Eduroam wireless network using their school district or university login and password.
