Good news for Daybreak families: the Jordan School District (JSD) has closed escrow on land for two future school sites in our Creekside Village, near 10200 S & Kestrel Rise Rd. The School Board approved the purchase in March and finalized it this week.

What the Board approved

In March 2014, the JSD Board voted to acquire land in Daybreak for two school sites. This week, the District completed the purchase of the Creekside properties, moving the projects from planning to preparation.

Where the sites are

The Creekside Village school sites sit just off 10200 South at Kestrel Rise Rd. The two parcels are directly adjacent to one another on a single large tract of land.

What’s planned

A preliminary site layout accommodates an elementary school and a middle school. The District has not yet identified construction dates, but the purchase secures space for future walkable neighborhood schools inside Daybreak.

Partnership & planning

Daybreak’s developer, historically Kennecott Land, and Jordan School District have a long‑standing partnership that emphasizes sustainable, neighborhood‑based planning. To date, that collaboration has created two public elementary schools—Daybreak Elementary and Eastlake Elementary—plus the public charter Early Light Academy (K–9). The Creekside purchase represents the third and fourth Daybreak school sites either donated by Kennecott or purchased by JSD.

Each year, our planning team provides 1‑, 5‑, and 10‑year growth projections to JSD to support facility planning and construction. Within the Daybreak master plan, we proactively identify and reserve potential school sites to reinforce walkability and smart land use.

What it means for residents

• Shorter school runs: The Creekside sites pave the way for more walkable, amenity‑rich neighborhoods.
• Community stability: Schools anchor parks, trails, and everyday routines—key parts of the Daybreak lifestyle.

Next steps & timeline

While the time horizon for building has not been announced, we’ll continue working with JSD and the City of South Jordan as site planning advances.

2014 note: Timelines, boundaries, and building programs may change as planning continues. Always verify details with Jordan School District.
