This year the importance of reading has been reinforced to me. I have a 6th grade son. He was struggling at the start of this year and had scored really low on his beginning of the year reading scores. We require that he read daily, but things were not changing much. He showed some growth by December, but still below grade level. In December something changed. He started reading. We would find him staying up later to read instead of fighting with his sisters. Over spring break when he woke up he would start his day by reading. He was reading 1-2 hours a day on school days finishing not just books but series in a month. His reading score jumped with the last assessment his teacher gave him, he moved from somewhere in the 4th grade range to around an 8th grade range. This is one of many examples that co

Here is our full newsletter: Click here DISCOVERY ELEMENTARY got an “A” on our school grading! Last year the state of Utah started grading schools based on student growth and proficiency on end of year tests. We were a “B” school, meaning we were slightly above average. This year our scores improved and we received the “A” grade! Overall in the state we ranked 53rd out of all Elementary and Middle Schools. There are around 737 schools in the state that meet this classification. There are lots of things I want to let you know about this month: First off, if you are bringing students that need to eat breakfast, please make sure to have them here by 8:15 so that they have time to eat and make it to class on time.
