Description of expenditures in General Supplies.

Materials to support reading goals and student check out materials. Materials

included binding tape, check-out pockets, AR quizzes, etc.

Explanation for the carry over to 2007-2008, if it was more than half of the available funds.

This question is not applicable.

This is what the School Community Council or Trust Lands Committee planned to do and how they planned for the money to be spent.

We will continue to use trust land funds to provide teachers with
the

instructional tools they require.  We plan to add to classroom
leveled

libraries, increase the number of books in our building library, and
set
aside funds to purchase math manipulatives.  We will offer
professional
development in differentiation, use of math manipulatives, and
instructional
interventions

for students having difficulty with the
reading process.

4. a

This is a report of what the school did and how the funds were spent to improve student academic performance.

By providing reading materials students had more exposure to printed materials
and receive reinforcement for passing AR quizzes and reaching personal goals. 
Students had more AR quizzes to take and many students participated in the end
of year reading activity for achieving their own individual goals.

These are the committee's specific goals for student improvement entered in the plan.

Students will demonstrate mastery of Utah Core Curriculum in language
arts

by showing growth in the number of students reaching grade level
reading

skills in fluency, phonemic awareness, and phonics by 5% as measured
by

those reaching DIBELS benchmarks.  Students will demonstrate mastery
of

Utah Core Curriculum in math by showing growth on quarterly
math

assessments

and reaching a score of at least 70% on each post test.
 They will also

demonstrate mastery of basic math computation facts.

5. a

This is a report of how the goals were achieved.

Goal:  Increase student achievement in fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.  
 Progress:  Teachers identified students struggling with concepts of fluency,
vocabulary, and comprehension.  Students were taught effective strategies to use
in each area, and provided with reteaching, and practice by Title I tutors, Read
180 lab, Soar to Success or from each teacher.  Teachers were involved in Dibels
data gathering, Words, Their Way Training, and The Fluent Reader.  Grade level
CRT data was compared to District CRT data, indicating improvement from 2006 to
2007 in the following areas:  1st Grade-Vocab 3.02 percentage points, Comp. .03
of a percentagae point, 2nd Grade-Vocab. .7 of a percentage point, Comp.  4.0
percentage points, 4th Grade-Vocab. 6 percentage points, Comp. 8.5 percentage
points, 6th Grade-Vocab. .4 of a percentage point, Comp. 5.2 percentage
points.Goal:  Increase students achievement in math facts, computation, and
problem solving.   Progress:  Teachers used successmaker as a tool. Grade level
CRT data was compared to District CRT data, indicating improvement from 2006 to
2007 in the following areas:  1st Grade-Problem Solving .302 of a percentage
point,  2nd-Problem Solving 1.1 percentage points, 4th Grade-Problem Solving 5.4
percentage points, and 6th Problem Solving 4.8 percentage points.  There were no
improvements in computation data of this comparison.Goal:  Increase student
acheivement in the areas of elements of weather, rock properties, earth
surfaces, magnetism, and the solar system.    Progress:  Teachers attended the
the Science Share A thons for their grade level to receive ideas and materials
to teach individual units. Grade level CRT data was compared to District CRT
data, indicating improvement in the following areas: Weather: 17.9 percentage
points, Rocks 20.9 percentage points, and Solar Systems 6 percentage
points.Goal:  Crestview will improve student achievement through clearly defined
schoolwide and classsroom procedures.   Progress:  School is continuing with the
UBI model.  UBI team meets twice a month and reports data once a month to
faculty.  The three areas that are monitored are tardies,  Positive
interventions for students and negative infractions for teaching and reteaching
our school wide procedures of safety, responsibilty, and respect. Tardies we
documented a 3.2 percentage point decrease from 2006 to 2007.  School wide
procedures we tracked from a positive to negative ratio.  During 2006 the ratio
was positive 1: 1 negatives. During the 2007 school year positives increased to
an average of positives 2.8 : 1 negatives.

This is how the committee planned to measure/assess academic improvement.

We will measure academic improvement through use of the CRT,
Granite

District Quarterly Math Assessment, and DIBELS.  We also intend to
develop

an efficient method for tracking the independent reading of our
students

and plan to measure student mastery of math facts.

6. a

This is a report on how academic improvement was measured/assessed.

Reading:  On end of year CRTs, students have steadily maintained scores in the
70-80 % range in average percent correct.Our reading teacher has worked with
students in grades 1-3 who were not proficient on the Language Arts CRT and who
scored below the 23rd percentile on the Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test. 
Students in grades K-3 with below basic reading  scores meet with a Title I
tutor daily for individualized or small group instruction. Students in grades
4-6  who were not proficient in reading take a 90 minute class in Scholastic
Read 180 daily.  Students gain 10-30 % on the SRI yearly. Students in grade 1-6
participate in Accelerated Reading practice.Students in grades 1-6 spent 14 or
more hours on SuccessMaker for individualized practice. Special Ed students
receive specialized instruction adapted for their learning disabilities.Math: On
the end of year CRT's, students have maintained scores above the 51% range.
Struggling learners in grades 4-6 work with a Title I aide for additional
practice of math facts and grade level objectives.Students in grades 1-6 spend
14 or more hours on SuccessMaker for individualized practice.Special Ed.
Students receive specialized instruction adapted for their learning
disabilities.

In the school plan, there was an opportunity to explain how additional funds exceeding the estimated distribution would be spent. The following is what was reported.

We will use additional funds to expand our efforts in improving instruction
through the purchase of teacher tools and providing professional
development.  We are also seeking opportunities to provide students better
access to quality literature through expanding our building and classroom
libraries.

7. a

This is a description of how the additional funds were spent.

Additional funds were spent on AR quizzes and reading books to be used for
children.

This is how the plan relates to the School Improvement Plan.

This plan supports the instructional efforts of our teachers to more
adequately provide students the skills they need to be successful in
reading and math.
