Elementary and middle school non-transferred student files Retention Schedule
A school will periodically have files of students who have attended Jordan School District in grades K-8 and never attend grades 9-12. In the event that a transcript was never created and the student’s cumulative folder was never requested, the student’s cumulative folder then becomes the record to retain permanently as required by law. These records are to be handled as follows: (refer to page 51 in the Planning & Student Services Manual).
Non-transferred Records (Dead Files):
Non-transferred student cumulative/permanent records of students in grades kindergarten through 8 shall be retained at the elementary or middle school until three (3) years after the student would have graduated. At the end of three years these records shall be transferred to the Planning & Student Services Department each year by June 30 and then sent to the State Records Center and retained for 17 years and then transferred to the State Archives permanently.
The following remain in the file:
Examples of these files may include:
Please refer to UTREX to make sure the student has not attended a school within the State of Utah before sending the files to Planning & Student Services for retention. If they are active in another school within the State, contact that school and have them officially request the record.
Questions, please contact Student Services at 801-567-8183.
Thank you.

Permit Input Dates
The window for the school choice Early Enrollment Period closes on Friday, February 17, 2017. The law requires that parents receive written notice from the school by March 31, 2017. The parent’s copy of the permit application serves as their written notice.
So that we can expedite Version 2.0 of the Estimates for the 2017-18 school year, we are asking that schools have all permits entered into Skyward by Friday, February 24, if at all possible. If you can see that you will not be able to enter all of your permits by this date, please call Luann at 88251 so that she can adjust other schools’ numbers and come back to your school when you have had a chance to input the permits.
Please share this information with the individuals in your school helping with the permits. If you have questions or concerns, please call Luann. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in an attempt to help make Estimate Version 2.0 as accurate as possible.
Thank you for your help with this process.
Reminder that the 5th Annual SCC Conference and Training will be held today, January 12th from 3:30 - 8:00 pm at Highland High School. This is free for school community council members, teachers, principals, legislators, school board members and others interested in school community council issues.
