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.  Second, In February students in grades 3-5 will be taking the SAGE writing test.  This test counts in part toward the Language Arts score that they receive as part of their yearly evaluation.  We will be starti...
