? Spring is coming, and with that comes Maturation Programs in our 5th grades! ?
Please remember the following items:
1. Maturation programs must be reviewed and approved through Jordan School District's Human Sexuality Committee. Please do not hire outside presenters whose presentations have not yet been approved.
2. Each school may work with their school nurse to schedule Maturation. Attendance tends to be better if the program is offered during the school day. Of course, each school may have different needs.
4. Whether an outside presenter or your school nurse is presenting, please be sure to have a location prepared with technology hooked up and ready to use. A projection system with sound is required. Microphones are also needed.
5. Your school nurse may provide your maturation programs for you.
6. Your nurse has a video for the boys' maturation, if you would prefer to use it instead of have your female nurse present to the boys.
7. Bill Hanvey and Dave Vicchrilli have offered to provide our maturation program in our District for $75. Please contact Kellie Davis (801-567-8246) if you would like to schedule on of these wonderful previous principals for this purpose.
8. If you have someone else that you would like to present your program, your nurse will gladly train them on the approved curriculum.
9. If you have questions, please contact your school nurse or call Kellie Davis in the Educational Support Department for assistance.

Middle schools are now given the option to transmit their payroll electronically to the Payroll Department by scanning documents, with a scanner, and then emailing to the Payroll Department.  To protect the employees’ personal information, please use the District encrypted email called MoveIt.

  • Time sheets and all payroll documents can be emailed to Carolyn Bevan at carolyn.bevan@jordandistrict.org.
  • Payroll will forward time sheets to the applicable departments for review and signatures using MoveIt.
  • If Payroll documents were emailed to Payroll, Do Not send original documents as this could cause duplicate pay.
  • Employees should use the True Time system, whenever possible, to record their time for any extra jobs, rather than using paper time sheets.

As you are already aware, Payroll has been continually changing and becoming more efficient using technology.  Because of these many payroll changes, and to avoid conflicting information between departments and schools regarding payroll, we ask that you please clarify or discuss any payroll issues and/or concerns through the Payroll Department.

We thank you for your continued support, suggestions, and especially for your hard work in helping Payroll run smoothly each month.  If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Palmer, Payroll Director, at 801-567-8154 or email sarah.palmer@jordandistrict.org.
