Parkview Elementary teachers and staff believe students learn in multiple ways and we accept the Salt Lake City School District Vision Statement that each student is valued and nurtured to achieve his or her highest potential academically, physically, and socially, resulting in a principled contributor to society. We will continue to learn, understand, and practice the Elements of Reform, including community collaboration, advocacy for all, accountability and family involvement. We will implement and articulate the Salt Lake City School District Performance Results, which are: Complex Thinker and Problem Solver, Contributor to the Community, Quality Worker and Producer, and Self-Directed Learner.
Facts About Parkview
Parkview’s School Improvement Plan focuses on four major goal areas:
- Parkview is implementing a comprehensive school reform program which consists of staff development models that are integrated into all curriculum areas and address the needs of all students. This program is based on best teaching practices and includes on-going assessments.
- Increase Alternative Language Services through structural changes and staff development. Parkview has a bilingual cohort group that originated in Kindergarten and now extends through grade three. We will offer bilingual classrooms through grade six when appropriate. Nearly 100% of our classroom teachers have, or are currently working on their ESL endorsement.
- Create an environment within the school where families feel welcome. Programs and activities will be created to address the needs that families feel they have in dealing with their preschool/school age children. Parkview families and staff developed a parent compact to address the link between home and school.
- All significant subgroups within the school will make Adequate Yearly Progress as defined by state and federal law.
