Standard Response Protocol Information

Due to new state law (53G-8-803), Utah has adopted the Standard Response Protocols (SRP).  The SRP provides schools across the state with enhanced response options that increase safety and security for students and staff.  These tools provide clear and consistent language shared by every school and school district in Utah as well as our first responder partners.  As an integral part of the Jordan Ridge community we want to take this opportunity to share this information with you.

Each month students will participate in a different SRP drill to help them learn and understand how and why each safety response protocol is used. We encourage you to have discussions with your student(s) about these drills at home.

Safety Reminder

Students crossing at 9800 S and 2700 W: Our crossing guards have made us aware that even with repeated reminders, our students continue to push too close to the curb while waiting to cross. Please talk to your child about the importance of staying back away from the curb while waiting to cross. We want to ensure that students don’t accidentally fall into traffic and get injured.

Student Sales at School

Just a reminder that students are not allowed to sell items or take orders for purchase on school property. In addition, students should not bring money to school to purchase items from other students. We encourage students to engage in entrepreneurial activities, but require that these activities take place off of school grounds.

 

Maturation Presentation

The maturation program is available in an online format for both 4th and 5th graders. A letter was sent home with each student in 4th and 5th grade with instructions on how to access the presentation. You can also access the letter here. If you would like your child to receive a hygiene kit from the school, please watch the presentation with your child and sign the permission slip (at the bottom of the letter).

 

Reminder: Register for Kindergarten ASAP!

Please tell your neighbors who have Kindergarten-aged children so they can get their child registered.

Cell Phone and SmartWatch Reminder

Please help us remind students to keep cell phones in their backpack. Smart watches can also pose a distraction for students and their classmates, so we encourage these to be kept in the backpack as well.

If you need to talk to or check out your child, please call the main office. Please refrain from arranging checkouts with students over their personal devices as this can pose a safety risk.

Traffic Safety Reminders

Afternoon kindergarten drop-off in west parking lot: If you drop off your child for afternoon Kindergarten on the west side, please do not park (and sit/leave vehicle) along the curb or in the passing lane. This causes a safety concern, as cars become backed up onto the city street. Please also remember to only allow students to exit at the curb and not in the passing lane. If you would like to stay with your child at the Kindergarten playground until the bell rings, please park in the front parking lot.

Red zones at church: The curb is painted red (no parking) near the far East access at the church parking lot. These red/no parking zones help provide visibility for cars exiting the parking lot. Please remember not to park in these red zones.

Student pick-up procedures: If you park along the curb in the drop-off lane to wait for your child, please pull up along the curb to allow more cars to enter the parking lot. Congestion on the city road can pose a safety concern for our patrons, so please help reduce this congestion by pulling up when space is available.

Student drop-off: Please remember to only drop off students in the yellow drop off zone! Students should remain in the vehicle until the vehicle enters the yellow drop off zone. Please also never let a student exit the vehicle in the passing lane.

Bike Rack Reminders

The bike rack is locked up during the school day. If you need to check out your child and they have a bike, please let the office know so they can be prepared to walk with your child to unlock the bike rack so they can retrieve their bike.

Also, remember that the bike rack is unlocked overnight, so please do not leave bikes at the school. The possibility they will be stolen overnight is high.

Progress Reports in Skyward

As you may know, elementary schools now enter grades quarterly. Teachers are not required to send home progress reports at each quarter, but you can access them in Skyward. They are usually available for families to view about two weeks after the end of the quarter. Quarter 2 ends on January 12th. You can also ask your child’s teacher to send home a hard copy of the progress report. Remember that reports for the first three quarters are considered progress reports and show your child’s progress toward end of grade-level mastery. Only the report for the final quarter is considered a report card.
