Jordan Parent Journal
Friday, March 13, is a Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students. On scheduled Digital Learning Days, students access lessons in Google Classroom through their Learning Space but may not have virtual class time with their teachers.
To ensure that students have a nutritious meal to fuel their learning, our bus drivers will be on the road and at every bus stop to deliver meals prepared by the School Nutrition Program staff. Families should expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route. These delivered meals are provided at no cost to families and are provided to anyone 18 years old and under.

Team Up With the Teachers to Help Your Teen
Teachers and families have a common goal. They both want students to do well. This is important to remember when you speak to your teen’s teachers, particularly if you have a problem to discuss.
When you communicate with a teacher, consider that person your partner in your teen’s education. Let the teacher know you feel this way. Express recognition for what the teacher does to help your teen learn. Then, share your concerns and work together on a plan to address them. Ask what you can do to help your teen succeed in school.
