Academic Instruction:

Language Arts:

Wonders is the program that Granite School District uses for K-6 reading instruction.  Teachers will teach according to the standards and objectives found in the Utah Core Standards. Each month, students will be assessed on their proficiency levels on selected ELA priority standards using CFAs (Common Formative Assessments) and other assessments. Teachers on each grade level will meet weekly in data teams to discuss ways to increase student understanding in the priority standards and look at student achievement data. Students not achieving proficiency will be retaught. This is important as they will be assessed on RISE tests at the end of the year to determine the academic growth that they have achieved.

Mathematics:

I-Ready is the program that Granite School District uses in grades K-6 for mathematics instruction. Each month, students will be assessed on their proficiency levels on selected priority standards using CFAs (Common Formative Assessments) and other assessments. Teachers on each grade level will meet weekly in data teams to discuss ways to increase student understanding in the priority standards and look at student achievement data. Students not achieving proficiency will be retaught. This is important as they will be assessed on SAGE tests at the end of the year to determine the academic growth that they have achieved.

Technology:
All classrooms are one-to-one using Chromebooks to enhance their learning through computer generated programs such as I-Ready, Typing Agent, Utah Compose, and a variety of other programs. These programs are designed to reinforce student academic skills.

Dual Immersion
Monroe Elementary is a Spanish Dual Immersion school. We are currently 1st – 6th grades with approximately 308 students in the program. The students 1st – 3rd spend half of their day with an English speaking teacher working on literacy and half their day is with a Spanish speaking teacher receiving instruction in mathematics and Spanish literacy.  The students in 4th – 6th spend half of their day with an English speaking teacher working on literacy and math. Their other half of the day is spent with a Spanish speaking teacher receiving instruction in science and Spanish literacy. The DL teachers collaborate together weekly on how students are progressing. This year our 3rd-6th students will take the AAPPL assessment to measure their proficiency level in Spanish. Our Spanish Dual Immersion program is for Monroe boundary students only.

All Day Kindergarten
Monroe Elementary has three sessions of all day Kindergarten.

Student promotion
All students who are promoted attend West Lake Junior High then Granger High School.

Awards and Distinctions

In 2017 & 2018 Monroe was awarded an Exemplary School Award for growth on the state RISE test.  In 2016, 2017, 2018 we had several teachers who earned individual growth awards on the state RISE test.  At Monroe we focus on being respectful and doing our personal best, and being prepared for college and/or a fulfilling career .
