Back to School Night Scheduled for Thursday August 29th 2013

The Mount Jordan Back to School night is a long standing tradition, sponsored by the PTA, for students and families to come together and hear about upcoming events for the new school year, meet with teachers, faculty and PTA board members, and learn about ways to stay informed about issues relating to the school.

A free hot dog dinner is provided for Mount Jordan Students and their Families from 5:30pm - 6:30pm. Following dinner, there will be a brief meeting in the school Kiva at 6:30pm where parents and students will have the opportunity to hear from select faculty members about the upcoming school year. After the meeting in the Kiva, families are invited to walk around the school and meet with teachers and faculty until 7:30pm.

As this year's PTA board, we are working to accomplish numerous goals aimed at enriching the learning experience of students in and out of the classroom by providing them additional activities, recognition awards and support to teachers through monetary and volunteer efforts. There are multiple ways you can support the Students and Teachers of Mount Jordan:

• Join the PTSA, we have Parent and Student memberships available
• Order a Memory Book
• Purchase a Mount Jordan T-shirt
• Sign-up for volunteer opportunities

We hope to see most of you there as we celebrate the start of the new 2013-2014 school year.
