JHS Summer 2026 Update #5

Jordan's campus will be open on Friday, August 21, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to allow families the opportunity to walk their child's schedule. The purpose of this event is to allow Jordan students to become familiar with the campus. This event is not a "Meet the Teacher Night." Floating Meet the Teacher Night is Thursday, September 10, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

To support device sustainability and repair, a $15 annual technology fee is required for students in Grades 3-8 and a $30 annual technology fee is required for students in Grades 9-12.

• Technology fee for grades 9-12
• Technology fee donations
  
  

Durham Public Schools is committed to ensuring all students have access to the technology they need for learning. If your family is experiencing financial hardship, you may request a waiver of the annual Student Technology Fee by completing the 2026-2027 Student Technology Fee Hardship Request.
