October 1, 2016 Head Count Reports
DATE:

SUBJECT:
October 1 Head Count Reports
As October 1 approaches we wanted to remind schools of the report which should be used by the auditors for the head count. The report is titled Student Enrollment Count by Entity, and can be found in Skyward Student under: Students, Jordan Programs, Entity Reports. See attached documentation for Instructions on running the report.
This report should be used to ensure the numbers the auditors use to count match the student count numbers Luann Leavitt sends to the State. If there are questions on how to run the report please contact Denise Smith at (801)567-8258.
Thank you.
Changes to Student Passwords – Revised October 13, 2016
At the beginning of the school year a document was sent to all secondary principals discussing changes to student Active Directory accounts and passwords. – As a reminder a student’s Active Directory account is what students use to login to Windows and Mac computers. – Due to the number of student password reset calls still coming into the help desk and the low numbers of students who have enrolled in the Self Service Reset Password Manager (SSRPM) we are sending out that document as well as additional instructions on how students use SSRPM to reset their passwords after they have enrolled. Please make sure that all teachers who make use of school labs and mobile carts in their classes receive a copy of these two documents which are attached to this message.
Additionally, principals need to designate two members of their staff to reset student passwords. Principals should submit a request to the help desk for these individuals to be given the necessary securities and training to reset passwords by Oct 31. Suggested staff members to give this permission to are; Media Center Coordinators, Head Secretaries, Registrars, etc. It is unadvised to give this permission to teachers as they would be unavailable to reset passwords during classes. This is being done to reduce the number of calls coming into the help desk for student password resets and hopefully reduce the amount of time a student who has forgotten their password is out of class.
Please contact the help desk at 801-567-8737 or your school tech for any questions.

U-47700 “Pink” Drug is Illegal
The drug that was discussed in the AP meeting U-47700, "pink" or "pinky" is against the law. This was stated by the PCPD. It was deemed illegal on the 8th of September 8, 2016. The document below was handed out at the Assistant Principal Meeting on September 13th.
Registering a “Youth In Custody” Student
Please be sure that prior to registering any YIC student that you make contact will Holly Evans @801-567-8328. When the foster parent comes in to register them and you have not heard from Holly first that means that not all registration has been completed by the Case Worker (who is the legal guardian). They must clear this office first. It is extremely difficult to back track for all the necessary paperwork once they have been registered at your school. Our goal is to facilitate the registration for you with all the necessary documentation. Please call Holly with any questions.
Appeals for September 20 and October 4, 2016
Appeals will be held on the 20th of September (Tuesday) and on the 4th of October (Tuesday). Conferences are scheduled on Wednesday both of those weeks. Please make sure that your paper work for appeals on those days are turned in on the Friday before the hearings.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This happens about three times a year.

Truancy Mediation Court Contact Update as of September 7, 2016
Hello everyone,
Just a few updates to Truancy Mediation for this year. I will no longer be the individual setting up truancy mediations. That responsibility will now fall on Tayla Egersheim. Tayla is a probation officer who has graciously accepted this new responsibility. Tayla will be sending you her contact information next week. If there is something pressing between now and then please feel free to call me. If there are schools that want truancy mediation and haven't been trained, please let me know and Tayla and I can go do those trainings. We've created a new email address for your administrators to send referrals. That email address is:
3rdjuvtruancymediation@utcourts.gov
Please forward this on to all of your administrators who participate in this program. As a reminder of information we need in the referrals is just the youth's name, date of birth, and grade level. We look forward to working with you this coming year. Of course you can email or call me anytime if you have any questions.
Thanks again!

SUBJECT:
Custodian of the Month for 2016-2017
The Custodial Department is sponsoring the “Custodian of the Month” award. We want to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of our custodians. We are asking that you or a member of your staff write a letter explaining why your custodian deserves this award and why they are a valuable member of your staff. (See attached Employee of the Month Nomination Form)
Please keep this nomination confidential. We want this to be based on merit; not campaigning for the award by the custodian. Assistants may also be nominated if you feel you have an assistant who deserves this award.
The custodian who is chosen for the month will receive a certificate of recognition from the Custodial Department and Advisory Committee. We would like this award to be presented in a faculty meeting. We hope to be able to recognize the good work that is being done by our excellent custodians.
Nominations are due to the Custodial Director, Steve Peart by the 25th of every month. If you have any questions, you may contact Steve Peart, Alicea Fratto or Sally Forman at 801-567-8740.
Thank you for your support and helping us acknowledge the superior custodians who work for Jordan School District.
