She is a quite an asset and we’re glad to have her on the team.
Melanie does a wonderful job working with students. Her caring, open approach allows students to feel confident and find success. Melanie is always willing to help out with extra things that happen to pop up. With all that said…her best attribute is her sense of humor! Melanie, thanks for bringing some smiles to this land of craziness we call middle school 
Melanie Switzer is so helpful and kind. Her friendly and cheerful demeanor brighten my day. She really cares about students and we are lucky to have her here at SoJo. Continue reading →

Carolyn does a great job with the choir classes. She is caring, patient, and fair. Carolyn, the choir groups always sound great. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to help the students develop their talents and skills.
Carolyn McPharlin’s choir always sounds wonderful. Her efforts have really paid off!
Carolyn is a terrific person who puts her whole heart and soul into her classes. She truly has the best interest of her students at heart when she prepares for classes and for concerts. She knows the value of music and the powerful influence it has on students. Way to go Carolyn, you are the Employee of the Month. Congratulations.
When Carolyn was ill recently, students were very concerned. I heard some students comment that she was their favorite teacher. She has been a great choir teacher and she will surely be missed next year. Continue reading →

Carla Palmer runs an extremely efficient copy center and where we would be without her, I shudder to think! She is amazing!
Carla does a wonderful job in the copy room. I can’t imagine juggling so many requests in such a limited time frame. She has often gone the extra mile for me and I truly appreciate her. Continue reading →
Posted on May 16, 2013, at 7:29 am | Last modified May 16, 2013, at 7:29 am | Print This Dear Parents:
South Jordan Middle School’s Annual 9th Grade Lagoon Day will be June 4, 2013. Transportation will be provided by regular district school buses. A $5.00 fee will be necessary to cover the cost of transportation. Appropriate behavior on the bus is expected. Colored SJMS signs will be placed in the windows of the SJMS buses.
Students will be assigned to buses for travel to Lagoon. Buses will leave South Jordan Middle School at approximately 9:00 AM and will leave Lagoon at 5:00 PM. All students will be returned to SJMS. Students should arrange rides home from the school. Lagoon closes at 5:00 PM so all students will need to ride the buses home or have parents pick them up at that time. Only students who have paid to ride the bus to and from Lagoon may ride the bus home. Students not on the buses by 5:00 PM will be left on assumption that they are getting parent rides home.
Lagoon officers will maintain order. Smoking and drinking are not permitted. If you need to contact Lagoon, please call 1-800-748-5246, ext. 5000, or 801-451-8050.
Students may purchase, AT LAGOON, an all-day Passport for $28.00, tax included. (This includes all rides except Sky Coaster, Top Eliminator, Peak Exposure, Catapult, & Double Thunder Raceway. Lagoon-A-Beach, Wild Kingdom Train, and Kiddieland are closed on June 4.
Your student must return the permission form available in the Main Office to participate in this activity.
The school dress code will be in effect. Any student not in compliance will not be allowed to board the bus. In the days leading up to Lagoon Day, students who demonstrate behavior problems (ex: attendance, insubordination, library fines, etc.) may not be allowed to ride the bus to/from Lagoon. School administration will contact parents if a student is not eligible to ride the bus for behavior problems.
We appreciate our ninth grade students and wish them an enjoyable day. Please call if you have any questions regarding June 4, at 412-2900.
