We will not be taking schedule change requests until the schedule change window opens the first week of school.
Schedules will be released on August 7th 2026 at 3:30pm
Schedule Information

MCMS Counselors at ASCA 2026
From July 11–14, 2026, MCMS counselors traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana, to attend the ASCA (American School Counselor Association) Conference. They heard from keynote speakers, attended breakout sessions to gather resources for our school, and networked with counselors nationwide, and had lots of really good food!
On July 13, MCMS counselors and the district counseling team attended the RAMP® Awards Dinner, where they were officially awarded the RAMP® (Recognized ASCA Model Program) designation until 2031.
MCMS Counseling Earns National Recognition
Exciting announcement! Mountain Creek Middle School has officially obtained the RAMP® designation for our School Counseling Program through the American School Counseling Association (ASCA). We are so proud to be the 5th school in Utah to ever earn RAMP!
“This year’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, ASCA executive director. “These schools used data to drive their program development and implementation so all students can achieve success. The RAMP designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to strive for excellence.” Mountain Creek Middle School will be honored at a recognition ceremony at ASCA’s Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA., on July 13, 2025.

Thank you Reality Town Volunteers!
On Thursday April 9th, 2026 MCMS 9th graders participated in a successful and fun Reality Town.
Thank you so much to all the wonderful volunteers who came help run booths! We couldn't have done it without you!
What is Reality Town? Reality Town is a 9th grade program that teaches our students that grades/decisions count in "real life". Your student will apply for a job based on their GPA. They will receive a month's "salary" and have the opportunity to pay the bills and try to balance the lifestyle they want to have. It is a lot of fun, and a great learning experience.

25-26 Schedule Change Process
***Schedule changes cannot be made to accommodate friend, lunch, period, or teacher preferences***
We have staffed our school based on the class requests your students made during our Pre-Registration meetings in January of each year. There is limited mobility for students to change classes that were not requested.
With schedule changes our main priority will be to resolve conflicts and placement errors in student schedules.
(For example: if a student is missing a required class in their schedule or if their teacher assignment for a specific class does not remain the same from semester to semester).Schedule changes are only available during the schedule change window
Semester 1: August 20th 2025 - August 27th 2025
Semester 2: January 21st 2026 - January 28th 2026
We will allow schedule changes for elective classes only. Changes must be made in the schedule change window and cannot change based on teacher, period, or lunch preferences, or to be in a class with friends.
All students wanting to request a change will need to meet with their counselor to quickly discuss the schedule change. Counselors will be available during lunch (in the lunchroom) and after school in Student Services to meet with students.
Counselor Meetings Semester 1: August 22nd to August 28th, 2025.
Counselor Meetings Semester 2: January 21st to January 23rd, 2026.
If the request is appropriate counselors will provide students with a Schedule Change Request Form. In order for the change to be made official the form will need to be signed by their parent/guardian and returned to Student Services before the due date:
Semester 1 deadline: Thursday, August 28th, 2025 @ 3:30pm
Semester 2 deadline: Friday, January 30th, 2026 @ 3:30pm
Schedule change requests are not guaranteed. If a change is made it may influence several classes in your schedule including lunch, and likely cannot be changed back. Please consider all aspects of a schedule before making a request.
Any changes to schedules will be completed in Skyward by the end of the day listed below. You will be notified if a change can or cannot be made. Please be patient and do not complete multiple requests.
Semester 1 changes completed: Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025 @ 3:30pm
Semester 2 changes completed: Tuesday February 3rd, 2026 @ 3:30pm
After the deadline and the schedule change window closes all changes will be considered on a case-by-case basis pending a meeting with the student, parent/guardian, teacher, and administration. Teacher or Schedule Change request form is required after the schedule change window closes.
**Schedule changes cannot be made to accommodate friends, lunch, or teacher preferences**

Info about 7th Grade Accelerated Math
Our fantastic Math teacher Mrs. Jensen shares insight about our Accelerated Math Program:
"Traditionally, Jordan School District has had 7th graders who are advanced in math skip 7th grade math and go directly into 8th honors. However, data shows that when students skip 7th grade math, they end up with some holes in their math understanding when they reach higher grades. For example, 7th grade math really delves into proportional relationships, and students who skip 7th grade math lack a deep understanding of proportions, which can impact their math learning later.
At our school, we chose to implement a new model which allows students to accelerate in math without skipping any math standards. Here (below) is an image which illustrates our model compared to Jordan District's model for acceleration. As you can see, in both models students end up one year ahead in math, taking Secondary 2 in 9th grade instead of 10th grade. However, in our model, students do not miss the 7th grade math standards and therefore have a more complete math education.
Because we are learning all of the 7th grade math standards and half of the 8th grade math standards in one school year, we move at a very fast pace. Even with our fast pace, last year 94% of my accelerated students achieved proficiency on the RISE math test! I feel very confident that this is a more complete way to accelerate in math. Data shows that students in this type of program achieve greater long-term success.
I believe we are the only school in Jordan District which follows this new model. (We are a new school, so we had the flexibility to implement a new program which follows the data, rather than just doing what's always been done). Jordan District's placement test assumes the traditional model because that's what most schools in the district are doing. If you have any further questions, please let me know" - Mrs. Jensen (kristi.jensen@jordandistrict.org)
