School LAND Trust Program

Forty-nine dollars was spent to purchase student classroom supplies and

materials for student learning programs in reading and writing.

This question is not applicable.

We will continue to use the biggest portion of the money for
our

"Paraeducators" in the classrooms.  We will also work with
Professional

Development  and update our "Home Library" and reading
centers

constantly.

 If programs or in need of being updated with texts
and materials in these

three areas we will review that with the committee.

Millcreek has purchased the Read 180 program which offers individualized
instruction in reading fluency and comprehension. We have also added an after
school remediation program for helping students to improve reading and writing
skills.  We have also added an after school tutoring program for all students
who may need help in improving their academic skills.

Working towards the NCLB goals along with the state of Utah report
card

U-PASS.  We have done very well so far in these areas and we need
to

continue with this progress and be ready for achieving at a higher level
in

the upcoming years.  We need to stay at the above average level for
our

national testing scores.

Reading:  Each day every student reads 20 minutes during SSR and is expected to
read an additional 20 minutes at home. We added a Read 180 class for 7th grade
students and have noticed significant gains in this program. Of the 30 students
services, each increased reading 1 to 5 grade levels.   We offer SOAR and
Enrichment reading courses for 8th and 9th grade students who need additional
support according to researched based test.Healthy Lifestyles: For 5 years we
have held a community Family 5k Fun Run promoting an atmosphere of physical
fitness.  We have eliminated carbonated beverages from our vending machines as
well as providing healthier choices. Our P.E. teachers have increased the
physical fitness requirements. Half of our teachers have undergone a physical,
clinical and personal evaluation used to help teachers with their overall
physical well being. This training was performed by a certified physical and
nutritional evaluator.Technology:  We have increased our computer lab capacity
by one lab which will be available for teacher/student use during regular school
hours.  We have purchased new computers for our TLC lab and our Computer Tech
classes this summer.Mathematics: We offer a wide range of math courses through
Alg. 2/trig honors.Non-Academic/Academic: Mini lessons are taught during some
SSR periods emphasizing proper assembly, hallway, lunchroom conduct, respect for
peers and other valuable skills.  As a school we read the booklet, How to Get
Great Grades where students learned note taking and organizational skills,
proper study habits and other key components to learning and succeeding.
Communication: To improve communication, a newsletter was sent out 4 times
during the year and thirteen phone messages were sent out to parents regarding
activities at school. We have had several articles in newspapers regarding our
academic achievements, our community activities, our healthy lifestyles program
and our emphasis on internet safety program.  Grades are recorded weekly and
positive notes are sent home on each student.  Each student receives a birthday
note from the principal. Our counselors visit with 90% of parents for
SEOP's.During the 2006-2007 school year we were reviewed by the Accreditation
team and received a 6 clear.  We had a lot of parent and student involvement and
clear plans to improve over the next six years were clearly articulated.  The
percent of students proficient on EOL tests continue to increase year by
year.2006-2007      SCHOOL      DISTRICTGeometry         100%             78%

The council will review scores and talk to teachers and paraeducators
about

programs and students in the school. They will be able to review the
Dibels

testing scores constantly.  Our scores for our school will be posted
in the

building so that members of the community and the council can review
the

assessment in our school at any time.

Reviewing the data received, our school is on a steady, upward course.  Over the
past four years we have had gains in category except our Alg. 1 and
Pre-Algebra.Our percent average on the EOL test has increased in Language Arts 7
from 90% in 2004 to 93% of students provicient in 2007.  Language Arts 8 has
increased from 90% of students proficient to 91%, and Language Arts 9 scores
have increased from 87% in 2004 to 90% in 2007. Pre-algebra declined from 82% in
2005 to 79% in 2007. Algebra declined slightly from 92% to 91% and Geometry rose
from 97% students proficient in 2005 to 100% this past year.Our science 7 has
increased their scores from 79% of students proficient in 2005 to 83%. In
science 8, student's scores increased from 77% of students proficient in 2005 to
81% and in science 9 students proficient on the EOL test increased from 85% in
2005 to 91% in 2007.Our Trustland money has been used for our after school
remediation and tutoring programs and two computer lab personnel. These ladies
also track student's progress and offer encouragement. Our tutoring is available
after school Monday through Thursday. Two teachers, along with several students
are paid out of these funds, as approved by our Community Council last year. 

We will work in the areas mentioned.  That will probably be the driving
force for this grant.  The report cards that we receive from the National
and State level will drive this grant money for our school.

Millcreek Jr did not receive any additional funding.

This plan will reflect the ideas and goals of our school improvement
committee and also the mission statement that our District has for
excellence in education.  The testing and goals will be a reflection of the
Core and assessing that we do in the classrooms.  We will use this
committee
to update our goals and help in analyzing our data.
