Dear Midvalley Families –
We are very excited to announce that school report cards came out last week and Midvalley got a B! On the USBE website, it states – “School report cards are intended to inform parents, educators, and community stakeholders as they work collaboratively to achieve student success. View our video to learn more about accountability for schools in Utah.” To view our report card, click HERE. We are very proud of our 14% increase in ELA, 6% increase in math, and 7.8% increase in science RISE proficiency scores. We also saw a 14% increase in the growth of our lowest 25%. Thank you to our Midvalley team for doing an excellent job teaching our Jr. Huskies!
We also want to thank our Midvalley PTA for hosting the classic skate night on Monday. Highlights from our classrooms this week included Maestra Bonilla’s students practicing calendaring and learning numbers in Spanish, Maestra Gonzalez’s students learning to order multiplication problems while discussing their solutions in Spanish, Ms. Rogers’ class having a spooky dark math competition where students tried to beat the teacher in solving their math problems, Ms. Falke’s class showing mastery of 95% routines, Ms. Peterson’s class earning points for following her expectations, and Ms. Stark’s class learning new vocabulary.
Go Jr. Huskies!
Jr. Husky Success…Nothing Less!
