This designation means that this student population scores among the lowest-performing five percent in Utah\u2019s Title I schools in academic performance and growth.<\/p>\n<p>The program improvement designation provides an opportunity for principals, teachers, and parents to focus on areas of school improvement.

We have reduced class sizes, trained interventionist to support all grade levels in reading, structured Multilingual Learner program with highly trained certified teachers, and a master schedule that focuses on targeted small group time and teacher collaboration. However, parent support is essential to the success of the school improvement efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Parents can effectively assist student achievement improvement in the following ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Communicating frequently with your student\u2019s teachers<\/li>\n<li>Making sure your student attends school regularly<\/li>\n<li>Helping your student with homework<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring your student\u2019s screen time<\/li>\n<li>Reading aloud to your student<\/li>\n<li>Volunteering in the classroom<\/li>\n<li>Participating in school decision-making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin B.
