Jordan School District Schedules In-Person Dungeons and Dragons Event Feb. 6

Jordan School District ran an in-person Dungeons & Dragons event in West Jordan Feb. 6 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM MST, an institutional nod to the steady local interest in tabletop roleplaying. The Eventbrite listing names the district as organizer but includes only a truncated description and no venue address, registration or fee details, leaving follow-up items for families and players who want specifics.

The Feb. 6 listing exists alongside several established school and community programs. West Jordan High School hosts a recurring WJHS D&D club that invites players of all skill levels and meets every other Thursday from 2:45 to 5:45. The club’s mission reads in part, "At the WJHS D&D club our mission is to provide a safe space for students to gather together and adventure through deep dark forests, ominous cold dungeons, and heaven-touching mountains." That language places social connection and creativity at the center of the club’s work.

Southhills’ combined Dungeons and Dragons andWarhammer Club runs regular game days and names staff advisors for contact. "Game days are Friday's from 3:05-4:00 in the library. For D&D,You will need a set of multi-sided dice OR a phone to access electronic dice. Borrowing dice can happen if you ask nicely," the listing states. Advisors for that program are Nickell Jones and Kyle Carter; they can be reached at nickell.jones@jordandistrict.org and kyle.carter@jordandistrict.org for parents or students seeking details. Other district advisors listed for extracurriculars include Dan McLay (daniel.mclay@jordandistrict.org), Shelbie Nesmith (shelbie.nesmith@jordandistrict.org), Darren Seamons (darren.seamons@jordandistrict.org) and Belle Hollandsworth (belle.hollandsworth@jordandistrict.org).

Younger players have options as well. Garfield STEM Magnet & Community Middle School runs the Grey Wolf D&D Club on Tuesdays from 3:00 to 4:00 pm; sign-ups are handled via a sheet in the school Attendance Office and the sponsor is teacher Lena Fahrenkrog. For a more formal session, Robert A. Steen Community Centre is offering two 10-week programs led by Tom Unruh for ages 10-15: a Beginner series on Tuesdays, January 13–March 17, 6:00–8:00 pm, and an Advanced series on Wednesdays, January 14–March 18, 6:00–8:00 pm. Both courses list a fee of $80.00 and meet at Robert A. Steen Community Centre - 980 Palmerston Avenue.

Public resources round out the scene. South Jordan library meeting space capacities are listed at 90 for the Meeting Room and 8 for the Study Room, and the library calendar shows youth events ranging from Pokémon Club to chess support; a recent VolunTeen chess session noted, "Registration required, please sign up online beginning Dec 1. This event is full." Local retail ties crop up too: a store promotion reads, "FREE DICE. Go to Mythos Games Utah located in South Jordan Utah and show them your WJHS Student ID for a free set of dice. Say thanks!!!!"

What this means for players, parents and DMs is practical and immediate: there are multiple points of entry for new and returning players across schools, community classes and local shops. If you missed the Feb. 6 district event, check with the listed club advisors or Robert A. Steen for enrollment and schedule details, or show a WJHS student ID at Mythos Games for a free set of dice. The local tabletop scene appears active and growing, with regular school clubs and paid community courses providing routes to learn, run campaigns and roll for initiative.
