The staff at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School has always regarded parental involvement vital to the success of students achieving academic success together. Within our community there are many diverse cultures, languages, and students with special needs. We encourage parents and guardians to participate as school volunteers, in PTA and the Community Council.
It is the intent that our communication with parents, such as materials or flyers, will be written in an understandable and uniform format and, to the extent practical, provided in a language that is understandable. If anyone would like clarification, interpretation, or additional support, please contact the office at 385-646-5102. Each parent or guardian is highly encouraged to work directly with the teacher of the child to resolve any concerns.
A school-parent compact has been developed by the Woodrow Wilson Community Council, PTA, and staff. A copy is available on our website or by contacting the office staff. The purpose of the compact is to increase each child\\\’s academic achievement and social skills.

School Title I Goals
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.
Current School Plan (Google Sheet)
Academic Goal(s)
- Compared to schoolwide performance in 2026, students\’ average ELA proficiency will increase by 3% on Summative Assessments. For grades 3-5, this goal will be met by reaching at least 28% proficiency on ELA RISE. For grades K-3, this goal will be met when at least 55% of students reach benchmark or above on the End of Year Acadience Reading Assessment.
- Compared to schoolwide performance in 2026, students\’ average Math proficiency on Summative Assessments will increase by 3%. For grades 3-5, this goal will be met by reaching at least 26% proficiency on Math RISE. For grades K-3, this goal will be met when at least 55% of students reach the benchmark or above on the End-of-Year Acadience Math Assessment.
Social Skills and Dispositions Goal(s)
- By the end of the 2026–2027 school year, the school will achieve an average daily attendance rate of at least 92% and reduce the number of students identified as chronically absent to 90 or fewer. This will be accomplished through consistent attendance monitoring, proactive family engagement, incentive programs, and targeted interventions for at-risk students.
- Students’ Sense of Belonging: By the end of the 2026-2027 school year, the percentage of students will report that they are valued members of the school community will increase by 3%.
Talent Development Goal(s)
- Each grade level will participate in a coaching cycle each quarter—including pre-coaching conversations, coaching events, and debriefs—that directly align with our school’s CIP goals. To measure impact, admin and coaches will track data on opportunities to respond from the beginning to the end of the year.

Sanctioned Status
Dear Parent or Guardian,
We are writing to let you know that Woodrow Wilson Elementary School has been designated as an Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) school for Asian Students and Black/African American Students. This designation means that this student population scores among the lowest-performing five percent in Utah’s Title I schools in academic performance and growth.
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.
Woodrow Wilson is working to improve its academic program by undergoing a rigorous school improvement effort led by a school system of support team. However, parent support is essential to the success of the school improvement efforts.
Parents can effectively assist student achievement improvement in the following ways:
- Communicating frequently with your student’s teachers
- Making sure your student attends school regularly
- Helping your student with homework
- Monitoring your student’s screen time
- Reading aloud to your student
- Volunteering in the classroom
- Participating in school decision-making
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.
Sincerely,
Ben Horsley, Superintendent
Dr. Joan Bramble, Title I Director
Crista Holt, Principal
