Accountability Reports: Accountability determinations for Utah schools and districts are based on student outcomes and growth. Two major reports are created to differentiate the performance of schools and districts across the state. These reports assist in evaluating performance in reading, language arts, mathematics and science. However, it is important to note that not all grades and subjects are included due to the fact that not all grade levels and courses have statewide end-of-year assessments; Kindergarten though 2nd grade, social studies, world languages, advanced math such as calculus, health/PE, and the arts are examples.

It is beginning to look like Spring may be here to stay in the Tooele Valley. While we are officially a little over a month into the spring season, we are seeing the many changes that arrive with this season.
Spring symbolizes rebirth and rejuvenation, as the earth emerges from a restful slumber bursting forth with greenery, warmth, and energy. Our classrooms are much like this nice Spring season as they too experience this same kind of feeling in them. With this fourth quarter and the end of the school year winding down, students can sense a change in the air.
