Parents Guides to Success

• Utah State Board of Education Published Guides 

Parents are important partners in achieving the Utah State Board of Education’s vision that “each student is prepared to succeed and lead by having knowledge and skills to learn, engage civically, and lead meaningful lives.” The purpose of this document is to help parents better understand what their children should learn, when a child may need more help, or when a child would benefit from extra challenges. By using these resources, you may find more ways to advance your child’s learning at home while encouraging growth in their communication, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Multilingual Learners

Language support for students who are multilingual learners, ML, is provided in multiple ways. Students are provided extra support in accessing academic language as they learn to listen, speak, read and write the English language. All ML students, depending on their individual needs, have access to additional resources in the following ways:

• In-class sheltered instruction
• Small group instruction
• Individual instruction

We want to celebrate the hard work and determination of our Spring Creek students! In the state’s comparison of “like” schools, Spring Creek ranked 4/21 in both Science and Math and 6/21 in English Language Arts!

Students are learning to “own their learning” which is one of our SOAR attributes! Way to go Spring Creek!
