Jordan Hills Families,
We have a few reminders for you. Wednesday, December 21, 2022, is a short day. Students will be released at 12:25 p.m. There will be no school from December 22-January 2 due to Winter Recess. We genuinely hope that your family has a lovely Winter Recess.
2023-2024 School Choice Permit window is now open!
Students accepted to a program such as Accelerated Learning or Dual Language Immersion do not require a permit as long as they are in the program. Kindergarten siblings of program students may be granted a one-year permit to attend the program school with their sibling, but will need to either enroll in the program or be granted a permit for first grade or beyond.
Once a permit is granted, there is no need to re-apply each year. A permit remains in force until a student graduates (or moves to the next level, i.e. graduates from elementary to middle), the student is no longer a Utah resident, the student is expelled or suspended, or the District determines that enrollment has exceeded the allowed threshold for the school.

Meet Your Vice-Principal: Mrs. Grant
Wonderful Jordan Hills,
I would like to introduce myself to you. I’m Lynsey Grant, your new assistant principal, and I couldn’t be happier to be at Jordan Hills this school year. This will be my eighth year as an educator with seven years as a third-grade teacher at Oakcrest Elementary. I am happily married and have three pets; a sweet-hearted Australian Shepard and Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier, Nova, a shy tuxedo cat, Chloe, and a rambunctious tabby, Olive or Ollie for short. My husband and I love to travel and visit new places, either stateside or out of the country. You can find me reading, singing, or dancing in my free time. I went to school at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University, so you could say purple runs through my veins.
I have an open-door policy, so please visit or talk to me anytime. I am incredibly excited to be a bear cub and am thrilled for the opportunity to get to know all the wonderful bear cubs in and outside the building.
Here’s to a great school year!
Mrs. Lynsey Grant

Meet Your Principal: Mr. Yates
Jordan Hills Elementary,
My name is Kaleb Yates and I would like to take a moment and introduce myself as your new principal.
Here are a few things about me. I am married and have 4 children. My wife’s name is Heather Raye and my kids’ names are Jenna, Daxton, Tate and Walker. We often call them, “Jenna Lee, Super Dax, Tater-Tot and Walker The Squawker!”. Their ages are 13, 9 , 6 and 4. We also have a dog named Duke. We call him Duke because I am a HUGE John Wayne fan! I like to fish, camp, hunt, snowmobile, and ride motorcycles.
I have taught in the following positions, preschool, third grade, sixth grade, instructional coach, and assistant principal. For the last few years I have been an Assistant Principal at Herriman Elementary, Midas Creek Elementary and Parkview Elementary. I have degrees from The College of Eastern Utah, Utah Valley University, and The University of Phoenix. I love being an educator and working with students, parents and teachers!
I look forward to meeting you around the school. I look forward to our learning together as we start a new school year. I have an open door policy so if you would like to visit with me in my office, know that you are always welcome. I am extremely excited for you to be a Bear Cub!
Sincerely,
Mr. Yates
