• The front lot is reserved for bus drop-off and the drop-off of students in the Exceptional Children’s program who receive special transportation.

Student drivers have an assigned space in the student parking lots at the back of the school.
• At dismissal, car riders should be picked up at the traffic circle at the back of the school.

Families are reminded that they will need to present an ID to check out their child.
• Avoid entering and parking in the following lots: the student lot, staff parking lot directly behind the school, and reserved spaces with signs or parking cones.

Families can look up transportation information on the district’s transportation app, Edulog Parent Portal. For bus stop concerns, a bus stop appeal form must be completed and submitted to transportation.

Food delivery for students during the school day is strictly prohibited due to consistent interruptions of instruction, theft of orders, and increased safety concerns (i.e., DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, Papa Johns, Jimmy Johns, etc.). Delivery drivers will be turned away upon entering the campus. Students and families must refrain from ordering food for delivery to students. Jordan High School is not responsible or liable for lost funds when orders are canceled.
