The focus of Title I schools is to help students achieve proficiency on core standards, closing academic gaps that may exist. These efforts include providing targeted supports to at-risk students, building teachers’ capacity through professional development, and strengthening parents’ abilities in helping their children succeed.<\/p>\n\n \n

This policy, developed jointly with parents, describes how the school will carry out meaningful parent and family engagement. <\/em><\/p>\n GENERAL<\/p>\n Parents and family members are involved in the development of the school parent and family engagement policy. At Magna STEAM Academy, we involve our stakeholders by reviewing data, setting school goals, and looking at school-wide needs during School Community Council meetings, and Parent Engagement meetings.<\/p>\n POLICY INVOLVEMENT<\/p>\n Annual Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n An annual meeting is held each year in the Fall. At this meeting, information is shared with stakeholders that consists of an explanation of Title I, how funds are allocated, student performance in literacy and math, intervention and enrichment opportunities for students, and ways that stakeholders engage with the school. You may find information about our annual meeting in the following link:\u00a0 Title 1 Information<\/a><\/p>\n Flexible Meetings <\/strong><\/p>\n We offer flexible meeting times for parents and families to participate in decisions regarding their child.<\/p>\n Involve Parents<\/strong><\/p>\n We collect data from stakeholder input surveys, input from SCC and PTA meetings. Once data is collected, we review the data and assess needs. We partner with parents in using this information to create a plan as to how we involve parents.<\/p>\n SHARED RESPONSIBILITY – HIGH STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT<\/p>\n The Magna STEAM Academy School Parent Family Compact outlines shared responsibilities for high student academic achievement and is developed jointly with parents, teachers, administrators, and students. Our school\u2019s Parent Family Compact, translated into multiple languages, can be viewed by scrolling to the top of this page.<\/p>\n BUILDING CAPACITY FOR INVOLVEMENT<\/p>\n To improve academic achievement and to ensure effective involvement of parents, Magna STEAM Academy will:<\/p>\n ACCESSIBILITY<\/p>\n To the extent practicable, Magna STEAM Academy will ensure that information for parents and family members (including parents and family members who have limited English proficiency, parents and family members with disabilities, and parents and family members of migratory children) is in a language that they can understand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nBack to Index<\/a> Parent input is valued. Each year, a parent meeting is held where our school solicits input in the planning and implementation of school parent engagement activities.<\/p> Date:<\/strong>\u00a0 August 11, 2026<\/p>\n Time:<\/strong> 5:00pm<\/p>\n Title 1 Minutes<\/a><\/p>\nBack to Index<\/a> Each year, our school conducts a needs assessment, reviews student performance data, and solicits input from various stakeholders in order to develop a meaningful Title I Plan. This plan is data-driven, evidence-based, and responsive to findings from data reviews, needs assessment findings, and stakeholder input. The school comprehensive Title I plan articulates how evidence-based strategies, action steps and milestones will support the goals listed below.<\/p> Current School Plan (Google Sheet)<\/a><\/p> Magna STEAM Academy\u2019s\u00a0 School Goals for 2026-2027<\/b><\/p>\n Academic Goals:<\/b><\/p>\n Social-Skills and Disposition Goal:<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Talent Development Goals:<\/b><\/p>\n Magna Elementary 09\/01\/2026<\/p>\n Dear Parent or Guardian,<\/p>\n We are writing to let you know that Magna STEAM Academy has been designated as a Additional Targeted Support and Improvement school for Students with Disabilities, Economically Disadvantaged Students, and Hispanic Student Groups. This designation means that these student populations score among the lowest-performing five percent in Utah\u2019s Title I schools in academic performance and growth.<\/p>\n The program improvement designation provides an opportunity for principals, teachers, and parents to focus on areas of school improvement. The Granite School District and the Utah State Board of Education are working with our school to improve teaching and learning, especially in the areas of reading and mathematics by providing technical assistance and professional development opportunities to the teachers and administrators within our school.<\/p>\n Magna STEAM Academy is working to improve its academic program by undergoing a rigorous school improvement effort led by a school system of support team. We have recently exited our Multi Language Learner students and we are recruiting the help of peer tutors from Cyprus High School in each of our classrooms to support all of our students, but specifically our Students with Disabilities and our Pacific Islander Students. However, parent support is essential to the success of the school improvement efforts.<\/p>\n Parents can effectively assist student achievement improvement in the following ways: We want to request your help as the school addresses its academic needs and will invite parents to serve on the committee that will develop a school improvement plan.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Benjamin Horsley, Superintendent<\/p>\n Joan Giroux-Bramble, Ed.D., Title I Director<\/p>\n\n
