    As Jordan Public Schools plans for the start of the 2020-21 school year, we are committed to keeping our families, staff, students, and community members informed. While there are still many uncertainties regarding what the upcoming school year will look like, we are hard at work to ensure our students continue to have access to a high-quality educational experience. 

    This web page serves as a hub for updates related to the reopening of our schools for Fall of 2020. The situation surrounding COVID-19 is evolving with time. We will regularly update this page as our plans continue to take shape. We encourage you to keep checking back for the latest information.

REOPENING SCHOOLS FALL 2020: INFORMATION & UPDATES

  • UPDATE 08/06/2020:
    Today the district shared the Fall 2020 Academic Roadmap with families and students. We hope it will be a helpful resource for your family! In it you will learn that we will be offering families two options for the start of the year; our Hybrid Base Learning Model and the Jordan Virtual Academy.

    Watch for continued communication and view our district website calendar to learn more about our “Return to Learn: Orientation Week.” As you can imagine, many of our traditional back to school and first week of school events require adjusting to accommodate for social distancing and health guidance. Despite this, we have some exciting “Return to Learn: Orientation Week” planning in the works for both students and families!

    UPDATE 08/03/2020: 
    On Monday, August 3, 2020, the Jordan School Board acted on a resolution to support K–12 Hybrid Learning for our “Base Learning Model" for Fall 2020. This would also include the option of the Jordan Virtual Academy, our fully online learning alternative for K-12 families.

    In this hybrid model, grades K-6 will be on-site in their buildings 5 days a week (learning environments at 50% capacity, following strict social distance recommendations, and other health requirements). Grades 7-12 will follow an ABABC model. Group A will attend on Mon and Wed (distance learning when not on-site), Group B will attend on Tue and Thur (distance learning when not on-site), and C Friday = All students flex learning (may include potential on-site interventions, assessments, labs, large group music as needed). Preschool programming will run at their regular schedule.
     
    It is always important to remember that learning models can change based on shifts in COVID data either within our county, community, or buildings.
