Longview School LAND Trust: A message from Principal Connie Amos

Longview Parents and Guardians:

We are required to give a mid-year summary of our school's progress as it relates to Utah's School LAND trust funds. I am pleased to say that our plan is being carried out exactly as outlined by our School Community Council. Our School Improvement Plan lists three main goals for our school:

Increase Student Achievement and Literacy
Increase Student Achievement in Math
Continue Schoolwide Efforts in Establishing and Insuring a Positive School Climate.

Of the estimated $21,000 funded, we are spending all of it on reading tutors and substitutes. To date, $13,600 has been utilized. Our tutors work with power hour and other specialized literacy groups. Please note, that other funding is also used allowing us to hire our tutors. Our substitutes come on Friday and teach art, PE, and music allowing teachers to attend their grade level team meeting. These meetings are important because student achievement is constantly being assessed. Our mid-year literacy and math assessments have shown improvement, and we look forward to the state DWA and CRT assessments coming up soon.

To see a summary (and detail) of last year's plan or to view this year's plan, please go to the following link:
