About Us/Procedures

Granite School District Board of Education and Crestview Elementary mission and beliefs statement:

We believe…

All individuals have equal worth. All people have the right and responsibility to be educated. Every student deserves respect, acceptance, and encouragement. Cultural diversity enriches the quality of life. Every student can learn. High expectations foster high achievement. School and family share responsibility for building character, integrity and self-esteem.

Crestview Elementary first opened for the 1961–62 school year. Our building has been upgraded in the last several years, including complete new plumbing, electricity, seismic, carpeting, and air conditioning. We created time capsules in 2012 with every student and employee participating.

We continue to attract students to our school, as we have a highly qualified staff, wonderful enrichment classes, and involved PTA and community. We are constantly seeking to improve and will continue to seek to grow and develop. For more information about our plan to improve please see our Continual Improvement Plan (Google Document).

Enrollment

Crestview Elementary serves about 500 students.

Computers and technology

Crestview incorporates technology in all curriculum areas. Students learn core curriculum through the use of iPods, iPads, Chromebooks and computers. Each classroom has ceiling mounted projectors, document cameras, and sound systems. Students learn keyboarding, PowerPoint, research methods, web based academic programs, and Internet safety. We have two up-to-date computer labs, complete with projectors and sound systems. Regular assessment is administered to students by way of various technology platforms. We have several technology experts supporting students and teachers.

Elementary School AI & Technology Policy

At our school, we value authentic student voices, creativity, curiosity, and original thinking. Most learning happens through strong instruction, discussion, reading, writing, collaboration, and hands-on experiences. When technology supports learning, teachers may also use district-approved AI tools, such as SchoolAI and Google Gemini, in purposeful and age-appropriate ways.

How Our Staff Uses AI

Teachers and staff may use AI as a behind-the-scenes support tool to help plan instruction, create resources, and better meet student needs.

• Making Learning Accessible: Staff may use AI to adjust reading levels, create visual supports, generate examples, differentiate materials, and provide additional learning supports.
• Planning & Organization: Staff may use AI to assist with tasks such as lesson planning, creating classroom materials, organizing activities, developing student groups, or brainstorming instructional ideas.
• Human-First Decisions: AI is not used to make final decisions about student grades, behavior, academic placement, or other important student outcomes. These decisions remain the responsibility of educators.
• Protecting Student Privacy: Staff only use district-approved tools and follow district expectations for student data privacy and responsible technology use.

How Students Will Use AI

When students use AI at school, its use will be guided, purposeful, age-appropriate, and connected to learning goals. Students will only use district-approved tools with appropriate student data privacy protections in place.

• Wait for the Green Light: Students may only use AI when a teacher gives permission and explains how it may be used for a specific activity or assignment.
• Ideas, Not Answers: AI can support brainstorming, questioning, research, feedback, or exploration, but it should not replace student thinking. Final writing, problem-solving, creative work, and ideas should reflect the student’s own learning.
• Be Honest: When appropriate, students should acknowledge when AI has helped with their work. Submitting AI-generated work as a student’s own original work is not permitted.
• Use AI Responsibly: Students are expected to follow teacher directions, use appropriate prompts and language, protect personal information, and use AI in ways that support learning.

Our goal is to help students learn how to use technology thoughtfully and responsibly while keeping human thinking, creativity, and relationships at the center of learning.
